There was a bit of a walk in along a track, not terribly far but not close either. You have to pay to park, pay to get in and when you reach the end you arrive at the falls which has a seating and restaurant area which is right next to the pond at the bottom of the falls. Ruined the illusion of a forest falls a little and we were charged P600 to hire a table to sit at so you either pay or you’re sort of stuffed. I’d say crowded is not an unfair word to use. It was nice enough, the falls themselves are nice but not hugely spectacular and you can swim or paddle at least in the pond extending from it. The bottom of the pond has sharpish volcanic rock so wear some footwear. I would not go out of my way to go there again unless family had a desire to, a swim in the pool would have been as nice for me as a waterfall directly adjacent a restaurant isn’t quite scenic for me, I didn’t hate the experience nor did I love it. Refreshing enough but for me just OK. You might love it, don’t let my honest review put you off if you are leaning toward going.

We ventured to the beautiful Kawasan falls on a one day excursion. It was truly an amazing experience. We paid 1300PHP (£19.70) per person from a local shop next to the French Cafe in Panagsama Beach. This included pick up from our hotel in Moalboal Centre. The excursion included Canyoneering which was epic and the falls were beautiful! On arrival at the Falls we paid an additional 500PHP (£7..60) per person to do Zip lining). It saved a 45 mins walk through the forest to the actual falls and it was great fun! Lunch was also included and a drink with it. We were picked up from our hotel 09:15 and dropped off at 16:30. Be warned that this excursion is ran by various other companies who charge on average 3000PHP (£45.64) per person. They promise snacks and photos but for the price it’s not worth it. So far, it’s been the highlight of our trip in Cebu. Most definitely recommend a visit.

This was a fantastic trip! Our group was a family of six with two kids, 11 and 8. Helpful to know this: you will ride from the main road up a paved road on motorcycles or small vehicles to the entrance. After a 5 min overview talk on safety and what to expect, you can either walk 45 min to river side or take a zip line. Wear a bathing suit & and sturdy river shoes or tennis shoes. You will have a guide and he will gladly use you phone/camera (in a waterproof holder) to take photos along the way; the more you stop the longer the typical 3 hour trip will take. Guides provide helmets and sturdy river guide grade life jackets. The limestone rock formations & aquamarine waters are spectacular in a lush, tropical setting. The rocks can be slippery so foot placement is essential. If you are in shape to scramble up, down, under and over rock formations you’ll do OK. My wife & I are 67 & in excellent shape. If you get winded walking just 2 miles this may be a difficult trip. I estimate the river canyon portion of trip to be about 3 miles. Several large pools to jump in/swim across, one has a rope swing. Several of the drops you cannot walk around and must drop into the pools below as instructed. Once you reach the Kawasan Falls section the canyon is developed with pavement & food vendors; it’s no longer the pristine canyon you started in. From this point it was about a 30 min walk on a paved trail back the the outfitters starting point on the main road. Our guides ‘Wolves’ and ‘Barbee’ were excellent! They gave precise instructions, helped us over rocks where needed & were quite good using our phone cameras for regular, panoramic and video shots. Our tour included a meal at the end. We were all sore, tired and smiles at the end of this trip!
