Kawasan Falls is one of the famous waterfalls in the Philippines. It is the best place for people who love nature. The best thing to do there is canyoneering. It is not for the faint of heart as it involves jumping off cliffs, sliding down the waterfalls, and walking for 30 minutes or so.

I’ve always heard or read great stories about Kawasan Falls, and I’ve seen some beautiful pictures of it since we were taught about it in elementary school, so it’s not new to me. But I never imagined that one day, I’d be able to experience its greatness and see how magical it is for myself.

My boyfriend was the one who arranged our trip to the falls. He searched online and found a tour company that offers canyoneering package to tourists. The package includes transportation and lunch. You can also request to get a vegetarian menu if you are vegetarian.

The Day of The Trip

We woke up at 5 o’clock in the morning to prepare the things that we needed for the trip. After that, we waited forย our transportation to pick us up from the hotel lobby. At 6, the driver arrived. It was the best time to go to Kawasan Fallsย because there wasย no traffic, and the canyoneering tour was set to beginย at 10. After a long three-hour journey, we stopped in Moalboal. Then, we were transferedย to a larger truck with other tourists who have purchased the canyoneering package. Although we traveled early, we were still the last to arrive.

The journey from Moalboal to Kawasan Falls took about 45 minutes. When we arrived, we were given our helmets and life jackets.ย  But before the activity started, we had a briefing about the regulations while we are in the vicinity.

We had to walk for 15 minutes before we could jump into the cold water that was gushing continuously from the falls. Then, we finally arrived at the first location. I didn’t jump at first because it was 7-10 m high, and I am extremely afraid of heights.ย  But after a few convincing and self-affirmation, I was already feeling at ease and enjoying the moment. I love the cold water because it is so clear, and everyone else was having fun as well!

The tour lasted nearly 4 hours. I wasn’t able to take many pictures because I was too preoccupied with the views.ย We then went to eat our delicious lunch because all of the jumping and walking had made us hungry.

We stayed for a while after eating our lunch to have a small talk with the people in our group before returning to Moalboal, where our car was waiting for us to go back to Cebu.

Overall, I’d say I had a good time. The views are spectacular, and you can meet a lot of wonderful people. But, if I had to choose, I would never go try it again becauseย I am not into adventurous activities. But because I was able to overcome my fear, this will be an unforgettable experience for me.ย I would recommend this location if you are a “adventure junkie” because you will have a great time!
