Step-by-step itinerary

Canyoneering adventure and Kawasan Falls

• Start canyoneering activity
• Hike, trek, jump, and water slide
• End activity at Kawasan Falls

The experience

The canyoneering activity centers on moving through water and rock rather than watching from a distance. You hike and trek through the terrain, then slide down natural water channels, jump into pools, rappel down rock faces, and rope-jump across sections of the canyon. An experienced guide leads the group through each stage and manages the safety setup. All the technical gear (helmet, aqua shoes, lifevest) is provided, so you arrive with just your swimsuit and readiness to move.

The route ends at Kawasan Falls, the most visited waterfall in Cebu, where the canyon opens into the main pool. Round-trip transportation picks you up from your hotel anywhere in Metro Cebu or the southern part of the island and returns you at the end of the 10-hour day. Lunch is included partway through. The activity closes every 3rd Wednesday for a cleanup drive, so check the calendar before booking.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the difference between canyoneering and a regular waterfall tour?

Canyoneering is a hands-on activity where you move through the canyon yourself (sliding, jumping, rappelling and rope-jumping) rather than walking to viewpoints. You're in the water and on the rock for most of the day, using the guide's instruction and the provided safety gear to navigate each section.

Do I need climbing or rappelling experience to do this?

No prior experience is required. The guide is experienced and leads you through each technique. The activity is designed for people with at least a moderate level of physical fitness, and the guide adjusts the pace and support based on the group.

What time does the pickup happen and when do I get back?

The activity runs 10 hours total, including the round-trip transportation from your hotel. Pickup times vary depending on your hotel location in Metro Cebu or the southern part of the island. Confirm the exact time when you book.

Is Kawasan Falls really the main stop, or just where it ends?

Kawasan Falls is where the canyoneering activity ends. The canyon itself is the main experience (you move through it for most of the day), and the waterfall is the natural conclusion where the canyon opens into the main pool.
