The experience

Lifejackets, hard hats, wetsuits and aqua shoes get you ready at the start. The activity involves walking and scrambling along the riverbed, climbing rock faces, swimming through pools and jumping from waterfalls into the water below. You'll pass through small caves and navigate around natural rock formations as the river guides your route. The physical demands are real (this is not a gentle walk), but the guide orients you on arrival and stays with your group through every section.

The route climbs through three levels of Kawasan Falls. After the jumps and swimming in the lower sections, you hike through forest to reach the third level, where a hearty lunch waits. A hydro massage in the water rounds out the day before the return to your hotel. Waterproof cameras and aqua shoes can be rented on-site if you didn't bring your own. Plan for 10 hours total, including the drive from Cebu and time to change and shower after.
