This was hands-down one of the most fun things we did in Cebu! 

Kawasan Falls are spectacular, with electric-blue water. Then there’s the canyoneering! 

Jumps range from 3m to 12m high. You can skip the big jumps if they’re not your thing, there's always a way around them.

You need to book a tour with a licensed guide for safety reasons, though. They provide all the gear (helmet, life vest), and most tours include lunch and transport.

Here’s an excellent tour with pick-up from Cebu or Moalboal if you’re keen!

WHAT TO EXPECT

• The full canyoneering experience takes 4–5 hours, starting upstream and making your way down to the main falls.

• The jumps felt scary at first, but once you go for it, the adrenaline takes over.

• The guides are legends! They help with safety, take photos, and keep the vibe light.

• The final stop is Kawasan Falls, where you can swim in the big pool or chill out after the adventure.

• Expect to get wet from the start and wear shoes with grip, not thongs.

TO ACCESS

• About 45 mins from Moalboal by car or motorbike, or 3 hrs from Cebu City.

• Canyoneering tours are usually ₱1,500–₱2,500 per person and include transport, gear (helmet, life jacket), and a guide.

• Best to book through your accommodation in Moalboal — they’ll connect you with a local operator.

GOOD TO KNOW

• Bring a dry bag if you want your phone/camera safe, otherwise let your guide handle the shots.

• Red Horse beer afterwards hits hard (they’re 7%!). We learned that the next day LOL

• It can get busy, especially on weekends, so try for a weekday morning.
