Be prepared to be pressured to buy something from the people who "guide" you to the Falls. Nice setting, a cool swim and no bugs!

These falls are nowhere near as spectactular as the Tamaraw falls but the journey by Carabao was pleasant although somewhat uncomfortable at times. The trip went through creeks and streams and one could see local homes and happy local people along the way. We saw several carts full of tourists along the way. When we arrived at the destination we... More

Using a slow driver of a multicab (open van), the trip to Salambawan from the turnoff took 27 minutes where after paying the bargain price of P350... More

The falls are not as nice as Tamaraw falls but the area you can swim is much nicer.The tables for rent are much better here also. We loved the Carabao cart ride back to the falls was fun.

We went for a day trip in April 2012 the weather was very hot. When you have to leave the mini bus there is a 30 minute trek or 15 minute ride in cart pulled by Caribao. I trekked to the falls and rode back (both being an experience). Once there it is "paradise", the swim is a must as... More

We didn't enjoy our visit to Tukuran Falls that much because the water was murky and brown due to rain. However, we had fun along the way because it was our first time to ride a cart pulled by a carabao and the locals who accompanied us were very nice.
