Kawasan Falls (Badian, Cebu)
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays, before 8:30 AM, to avoid crowds and the midday heat. Visit during the dry season, November to May, when river levels are lower and canyoneering is safer.
Budget tips
Expect local entry and conservation fees around PHP 50–150, canyoneering packages typically run PHP 1,500–2,500 including guide and gear; join group tours to split costs and bring your own snacks and water to save on vendor prices.

About
Faits rapides: Crystal-clear water tumbles over limestone ledges into jade-green plunge pools, sunlight turning the spray into glittering curtains. A short hike and a few easy rock scrambles lead you to cool swimming holes that are popular for cliff jumps and bamboo raft rides.
Points forts: A narrow limestone gorge channels the torrents into three emerald pools, the middle bowl amplifying the roar so droplets slap your face like sparkling beads. Guides often run 2–3 hour canyoneering routes that thread tight rock passages and small jumps, leaving you paddling in a mirror-like pool under shafts of sun.
Insider tips
- Wear closed-water shoes with good grip, rocks are slippery and flip-flops tear easily.
- Bring a dry bag for phone, wallet, and a small microfiber towel to dry off quickly.
- Start the trek before 8:30 AM to dodge large tour groups, or go late afternoon for softer light and fewer swimmers.
- Head upstream to the upper cascades for clearer water and better photo angles, skip the commercial raft rides that circle the busiest pool.
