This place is generally included in a global tour including the extension to MongYangs village plus a bath in the natural rapids of an upper river nearby the village (cheap in Jeepney from Sabang if you get a collective trip). The falls are visible from the main road so you don't need to stay two hours, some nice pictures and... More

Just dont pay the locals too much. They will want to sell you things or act as a guide. Just decline and move on. Dont expect much water to be flowing during the dry season. just ask before you go. More

This is an interesting treck to a great fresh water swim spot. So when you are tired of salt water this is the place to head. Its a good hike to the swim spot but you can jump on an ox cart if you get tired. Its an easy insight into Philippino village life. The dogs are generally friendly. Buy... More

The natural beauty of the Falls and the cool water have an oozing appeal....only be careful of the public utility vehicles that passes by in front of the falls More

Wasn't worth visiting, in my opinion. It's roughly 40mins from the White Beach via winding roads alongside the mountains. It's a huge waterfall on the side of the road which has been made into a tourist attraction. They charge P30 for the entrance, for the maintenance, I would guess. But if you would just take photos, you could have your... More

Beautiful waterfalls that are of an incredible height. Lush vegetation surrounds them and the cool mist is invigorating. The falls themselves are very close to the highway and if you are absorbed in taking a photo you may get run over by a local. More

Hired a scooter for the day and took a ride out to Tamaraw Falls & was well worth the 40minute trip. Lots of roadworks going after land slides from recent heavy rains More
