How to Get There

From Cebu City South Bus Terminal, take a Ceres bus bound for Bato via Barili (not via Oslob), 3.5-4 hours, 150 PHP. Tell the conductor to drop you at Kawasan Falls entrance, then walk 15 minutes to the falls. From Moalboal, take a habal-habal (40 minutes, 200-300 PHP) or wait for a southbound bus. For canyoneering, tours include transport from Moalboal or Cebu City.

What to Expect

The main falls are a spectacular 40-meter cascade into a turquoise pool. You can swim in the cool refreshing water, rent a bamboo raft (300 PHP), or enjoy the natural massage under smaller cascades. Tables and chairs rental is 500 PHP, lockers 100 PHP. For the full experience, join a canyoneering tour starting from upstream, which includes cliff jumps (3-15 meters), natural slides, and swimming through scenic canyons. Only the first level is accessible without canyoneering.
