“We enjoyed this activity with our family (2 adults, 2 children aged 10 and 12). The waterfall was super cool to swim in and we got some great photos of sardines and a sea turtle. Our only ‘issue’ was we got picked up extremely early (4:30 am), but in the end didn’t see why that was necessary with the two stops we made. We arrived at the waterfall by 7:15 and to Moalboal by 9:30, then finished our Moalboal sardine run snorkeling by 10:30.

Hasta los 193€ ¿solo nos devuelven 22,56€? El proveedor sabía que no habían quads y aún así no anuló el tour. Nos lo comunicaron cuando ya estábamos llegando: nos dijeron que solo habían infantiles .Adjunto fotos. No hubiéramos hecho la excursión si no habían quads. Ni que hablar del madrugón y paliza hasta llegar allí…”

Join a private full-day trip from Cebu City or Mactan to Mantayupan, Kawasan, Inambakan, and Aguinid Falls. Local drivers such as Marlito and Jowen have earned praise for friendly service. Expect swimming, jungle trekking, waterfall climbing, and a beachfront lunch.

“The activity was great, and our driver Jowen was lovely. We only saw 3 out of the 4 planned waterfalls due to weather, but they were beautiful. It’s worth noting that the first waterfall is more of an activity whereby the local tour guides well assist you climbing up the various levels of the waterfall. We weren’t expecting this, but loved it! Also something we were not aware of was paying the guides at each waterfall so ensure you have cash All in all loved the day out, and lunch with a beach viewing was beautiful”
