Kawasan Falls

Kawasan Falls canyoning is an incredible experience and easily one of the highlights of visiting this area. There are many tour groups operating here, and the one I booked through Klook with Fun Group was excellent. We also combined it with the Moalboal snorkeling tour with turtles, which made for a full and memorable day. The canyoning itself is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a must-visit for anyone traveling in this region. I was told that every tourist is assigned a dedicated guide, which is mandated for safety. This definitely helps build confidence, especially for those who might be nervous about heights. Everyone is provided with life jackets and helmets, and the guides do a great job ensuring the group stays safe while still having fun. I would also recommend taking the zip line to the starting point. There may be a bit of waiting, but the ride is worth it and saves you from the long hike to the top. It costs about ₱800 PHP extra, but adds to the experience. Along the guided route there are also food stops, which was a nice touch. If you didn’t have cash, it could be added to your tour provider’s bill, which was convenient. After all the jumps, swimming, and climbing, you’ll definitely appreciate a snack — especially since the canyoning route is about 3 km before the walk back to the end point. Overall, an unforgettable adventure and absolutely a must-do activity when visiting Cebu.

Beautiful and lots of fun! Do yourself a favour and take the earliest time slot you can as it can get VERY BUSY at each waterfall. If you don't mind the early start, you will definitely appreciate less crowds on this super fun adventure.

Beautiful and adventurous with small challenges! I walked with one guide instead of using the zip line. The day was amazing and the guide was sooo helpful with the instructions how to jump and where to walk. I would not have the same experience without him. It wasn’t too crowded on that day. I recommend it warmly.

It was a perfect experience. We went canyoneering with one company, and I highly recommend it. Even if you have trouble jumping from high places, it's worth it to see this place. I don't understand why so many people on YouTube or Instagram hate this place and say it's a tourist trap. The nature is really beautiful, which is why the experience is worth it.

We had an awesome day Canyoneering Kawasan Falls. Epoy got stuck with us because we were the only two that walked to the falls. He was amazing. He took over the phone for pictures so I could enjoy all the fun. He did not disappoint. If you make it to Cebu, Kawasan falls is a must. The views, jumps, slides and swing are all worth it.

Once in a lifetime experience. Completely worth every minute of it. Absolutely stunning. Recommend paying the extra few bucks and do the zip line to get there. (Only way to get there is via tour guides and they are absolutely great…picture taking and everything) super safe!

Kawasan Canyon is a stunning natural attraction featuring multi-tiered waterfalls of varying heights, crystal-clear waters, and remarkable natural formations. The scenery is breathtaking, and swimming in the canyon provides a truly memorable experience. This must-visit destination in Cebu, Philippines, is located away from the busy streets of Cebu City and is renowned for its turquoise waters, lush jungle surroundings, and refreshing natural pools. ​T​his waterfall tour offers the ideal way to experience this spectacular waterfall, whether you prefer to relax and swim or combine your visit with other Cebu attractions. For a leisurely experience, you can walk to the first tier of the waterfall to swim and unwind. Alternatively, if you're seeking adventure, book a canyoneering tour with a professional guide for an exhilarating experience through the canyon's natural pools and serene surroundings. While it is possible to navigate the canyon independently, I strongly recommend hiring a registered guide. Professional tour guides provide expert assistance throughout the canyoneering route and possess comprehensive knowledge of the terrain, including which areas to explore and which to avoid. The activity involves navigating multiple challenging points, and safety is paramount. Rest assured, the crews are well-trained, experienced, and highly accommodating.

ohh myyy the best experience I ever had even though i am scared of water and heights ! hahaha The tour guides will really take care of you and guide you throughout the canoeing river! The water is just soooo clean and tiffany blue 😍All i can say is conquered smth i would haven’t done without my tour guides!

OMG, why haven"t I tried Canyoneering before?! What an amazing day at Kawasan falls. If you are even slightly adventurous, I highly recommend joining one of the outfitters on a canyonerring adventure,to trek through the series of three falls. Canyoneering involves hiking, jumping, scrambling, and diving. Our trip took slightly over four hours. I do not advise doing it alone as the guides not only know the best routes, but they are there to assist you as you go through the series of falls. At one jump I actually lost a shoe and one of them retrieved it. Also, there was a landslide the week before where they rerouted. I think it's best you join an outditter, which will also provide you with safety gear. If you choose to do only some scenic shots, there is an admittance/ ecological fee. The waters, unique color comes from the lime stone, which gives it that Gatorade color-effect. Along the route, you will encounter a few barbecue, and eating stations. Surprisingly, the rocks were not that slippery. Even though this can get crowded with tourists, I am amazed at how clean the forest and water were. One of my most memorable days in the Philippines so far.

What a beautiful place! This is a must place to visit while in Cebu. We hired a guide to take us to Kawasan falls and other places. I recommend to spend a few hours here to swim the different areas of clear blue water and to jump off the waterfall but only do it with a guide. There are some places to eat there but I saw that there was a sign that they were taking down some of the establishments built around the waterfalls as it was put there illegally and they were charging people. Be careful with your belongings and be careful as the roads are slippery. I challenged myself hiking in slippers. Where trek sandals instead. Carry small change going there so you don't show your big bills. Put bug spray as there are mosquitoes there. Be careful and have fun!! [20/100]

This place is one of the top reasons to go to Cebu! Waterfalls everywhere, the water is so blue, so clean, jungle atmosphere when hiking to the waterfalls. Paradise for sure! It's about 4 hours north of Cebu City, I stayed in Moalboal City overnight and went early in the morning. I was walking to catch a bus to take me there and met up with a local who does canyoneering tours. For only $30 he drove me to the falls and took me a secret way that let us start from top and go down. That was such a good decision, my legs thanked me later hahaha There's a waterslide, swing, and 2 waterfalls you can jump off, and the main falls at the bottom. And of course plenty of places to swim. I jumped both falls 20ft and 40ft. I messed up the first jump and hit my face a bit hahaha, so when you jump.. Stay as straight as you can when you enter the water. I did better on the big fall. If you feel nervous about diving or just nervous about your swimming they have life vests you can rent. I think it's required to dive with one. Another tip for y'all, GO EARLY! The earlier you go the better chance you have of taking nice photos and having the falls to yourself. I went at 7am and was the only one there. Great thing about the Philippines is it's hot 24 hours a day haha, so being in the water that early still feels good! Go to Cebu and go to Kawasan Falls! You won't be disappointed. So beautiful!

Review #048 - 2019 I'm not sure how come there's no review for this place yet, but I guess no one's been able to check in here since the cell reception is pretty much dead once you get here. We showed up around 1:30 PM on Wednesday, March 13th. Being that it was the middle of a workday & middle of the work week, I assumed it would be pretty quiet. I guess I was wrong because it was still crowded. I guess people don't really need to depend on Yelp to find this hidden spot! Well, it's not so hidden anymore since everybody's here! The walk to the first waterfall was actually not too bad at all. I pretty much was able to push my daughter's stroller 85-90% of the way. However, getting to the very top required a lot of energy, stamina and legwork. The steps leading to the top is no joke. It was plenty slippery because everyone was wet coming back down so I am so glad I had a personal helper carry my daughter's stroller up to the top. The bottom fall actually is just as nice so if you are looking for a better view up top, it's not that big of a difference. Especially with all the extra walking, I would've been plenty happy at the bottom fall since it actually has a full service restaurant; whereas, the top fall only has a tiny snack shop.

Man what a beautiful place to go to in Cebu. Unfortunately when we went, it was a little dry, but nonetheless, still a wonderful site to see. I would highly recommend everyone come here if they're ever visiting Cebu. It's a very soothing place and the water is so refreshingly cool. The motorbike ride here is also quite something lol. Dont be afraid though. The locals know what they're doing. Beautiful!
