If you have a lot of questions about the Canyoneering Activity in South Cebu, this post would be helpful as I try to answer all the questions that I had before we did the Canyoneering. In short this is my Cebu Canyoneering Travel Guide.
Do note that there are many service providers for the Canyoneering activity in South Cebu but we availed the services of Kawasan Canyoneering since they are a professional group of guides who are based in Badian, Cebu – where the Canyoneering activity is located. You can check out their contact details at the end of this post.
Anyways, here’s the travel guide.
1. Starts at Badian, Cebu
The start and end of the Canyoneering Activity is at the intersection along the highway to Kawasan Falls in Badian, Cebu. Badian is a municipality of the Province of Cebu which is located 3 hours away via bus from the South Bus Terminal of Cebu City. The fare was 120 Pesos/person (one-way).
It is important that you take the Ceres Bus bound for Bato via Barili. Do not take the bus Bato via Oslob as this will not pass by Badian. The earliest trip is at 4 AM. The last Trip is at 6 PM. Bus departure interval is around 30 minutes.
Tell the conductor to drop you off at Kawasan Falls.
A little note, when you go down the bus locals will swarm you but be calm and just walk towards the church and tell them that you need time to think.
You can check out the route in Google Maps here.
Church at the entrance to Kawasan Falls
Since we availed our Canyoneering activity with Kawasan Canyoneering, our starting point is at Matutinao Beach Resort, which is actually located across the street from the church. We slept here the night before to be sure that we are well rested for the Canyoneering Activity.
Matutinao Beach Resort
If you are doing a day trip you can leave your belongings with Matutinao Beach Resort when you avail the activity with Kawasan Canyoneering.

2. Priced at 1,500 Pesos/person
This includes the life vest, helmet, 500mL of water, a Fudgee Bar, trained guides, entrance fees, habal-habal ride to the starting point of the Canyoneering and lunch at the end of the activity.
What I liked about this is that once we paid the fee I do not have to think about pulling my wallet again and again for surprise mandatory payments.
The rate is the same for Filipinos and foreigners.
Updated August 31, 2016: Effective September 1, 2016. Previous rate of 1,200 Pesos/person will increase to 1,500 Pesos/person.

3. Lasts about 5-6 hours
We rode the habal-habal at Matutinao Beach Resort at 9:41 AM and got back at 3:38 PM. Which is around 5 hours and 57 minutes.
I consider our group as one slow group as we really wanted to enjoy each place especially when we were in the Kawasan Falls part. And we also took a considerable amount of time on the jumps since we were seriously trying to conquer our fear.
I loved our tour guides for this since they never complained about how slow we were nor did they look impatient with us. They even helped us take photos or just let us be to enjoy the place. Plus to pass the time they also do cliff jumps which we really enjoyed watching.

4. Life vest and Helmet are required
For safety purposes. Both are included in the 1,500 Pesos/person fee. The life vest is for you to float on the water and prevents you from drowning. Helmets protect your head from bumping into rocks, which proved to be really useful during tight maneuvers.
All life vests has a front pocket where they place the complimentary 500 mL water and the Fudgee Bar. But I also placed some candies inside my pocket and some extra money wrapped in ice bag.
To answer most people’s question if it is okay to do the Canyoneering if you do not know how to swim, I could confidently answer yes, you could do the canyoneering even if you do not know how to swim. The life vest will keep you afloat. Just be confident on the things that you will be doing and be sure to follow the instructions of your guides.
5. Shoes are required
Wearing of sandals with straps or shoes was required since you will be doing lots of rock scrambling and swimming. Best is to wear shoes for outdoor activities such as this..
Slippers are no good here, there’s a high chance you will loose these on the jumps.
If you forgot to bring shoes you can rent one for 50 Pesos a pair with Kawasan Canyoneering. One of us did not bring shoes, so we had to rent one.

6. You can bring a dry bag
We brought one drybag. But since I do not have full trust on drybags we decided to leave our phones at Matutinao Beach Resort. Our drybag contains only my extra batteries, snacks and energy drinks.
If you’re going to bring a dry bag, bring a dry bag that has a sling. It’s difficult to do the activity when you do not have both hands free.
Breakfast before the Canyoneering
7. There are small canteens and stores at the starting point
If you plan to leave early in Cebu to do a daytrip then you may want to know if you can have breakfast in the area and I am happy to let you know that you can. There are two canteens/karinderya near the church where you can eat a small breakfast, they open around 7AM. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the karinderya. The breakfast is not included in the 1,500 Pesos/person.
There’s also a store where I bought some energy drinks, some chocolate bars, candies and my ever trusty Imodium (loperamide). Above is a picture of Kawasan Cooperative. I think they open around 6AM.
8. Starts with a Habal-habal ride
It lasts around 20 minutes from Matutinao Beach Resort to the start of the activity. Which also includes one stop at Alegria Tourism for registration. (A habal-habal is a motorcycle taxi.)
Roads will be from cemented to rough road which includes uphill and the downhill part where you will get really close to the driver and to your friend who is riding with you.
9. Start and End Points
Just to be clear the walking will start at Canlaob, Alegria then our group went downstream jumping, rock scrambling, swimming and hiking. The exit point will be at Kawasan Falls at Badian. In short you will be crossing two municipalities.
10. Earliest and Latest you can do the Cebu Canyoneering
As a rule in Alegria Tourism the earliest group can start the activity at 6AM. The latest is at 3PM. Outside those times you cannot start the Canyoneering Activity.
If you arrive around lunch time you can still do the Canyoneering Activity, but please be mindful of the time because there’s only a limited time until the sun goes down.
The best time would be the earlier the better so you could do more in the afternoon.
First jump
11. First jump is one of the highest
After a 6 minute walk on the trail from the starting point, the first jump would appear. It’s about 18-20 feet high and if you are on top it’s crazy high. And it’s required!
It’s not the highest but I am glad that we started with this. After I conquered this one I had the courage to face the other small jumps or falls. Until the next high jump.
[sam id=”18″ codes=”true”]
There are 3 high jumps that are on the course. 1 is required the other 2 is optional. The first one is the required one.
Second high jump
12. A Technique for the Fear to Jump
If you’re not used to jumping cliffs to deep water pools then you would definitely have the fear of jumping off the cliff. The more you wait looking down, the more fear will conquer you. Here’s a technique that I used to jump the cliffs.
First is to stand from where you will be jumping. See where you need to target for your landing. Then walk away from the cliff. Then create an image in your mind that you are jumping out of the cliff and falling to the water trusting your life vest to keep you afloat. Once you have that image, create the courage that you will do that image and walk to the jumping point. Once at the jumping point see where you need to target and just jump.
The more you spend time at the jumping point the more fear will conquer you.
If you work well with pressure, you can ask your guide to do a countdown for you with a commanding voice for you to jump. This worked with one of my travel buddies.
See the video below to get an idea on how it feels during the jump.
A hint during the jumps be sure not to bend your knees or hit the water on a sitting position so that you would not get hurt when you hit the waters. If you do not know how to do this, ask your guide to demonstrate it for you.
13. There will be a lot of rock scrambling and hikes.
You may have seen the photos and videos of the many jumps and slides but I just would like you to know that there will be many hikes and rock scrambling. But don’t worry, since you are walking along the river there will be many places where you can take a dip and enjoy the water.
I’m just putting it here that you may be mentally ready for the long hikes and rock scrambling.
14. There’s a Barbecue Area half-way
We were surprised that there was a Barbecure Area in the middle of the river and the cliff, which was a very happy surprise since I was hungry.
According to the sellers they would climb down the roots for them to sell the goods.
Prices are
- Hotdog – 10 Pesos
- Pork Barbecue – 15 Pesos
- Puso (Rice) – 10 Pesos
- Embutido – 20 Pesos
But please do not expect them to always be there as it is challenging to bring their products there.
15. Expect a queue of people
Since the canyoneering activity is booming because of its fun and adventure plus the beautiful sceneries there are a lot of tourists availing the activity. And since there are only a limited amount of trails you can walk and points where you can jump, there is usually a queue. But be patient your time will come.
The queue is especially long when one jumper is overcomed by fear and took his time before jumping. So be sure to use the technique on this list on how to jump.
If you want to avoid the crowd go there during weekdays just like we did but we still encountered a crowd.
16. The Highest Jump is optional
The highest jump would be around the end of the Canyoneering. It’s located at the 2nd level of Kawasan Falls and it’s optional. The jump is around 30-35 feet.
There’s an alternative route if you want to go down slowly walking.
17. GoPro Battery will not last
If you are thinking if a single GoPro battery will do the job you are wrong. I went all out on taking videos and photos and a single GoPro battery only lasted around 1/3 of the activity. It was a good thing the I brought 2 extra GoPro batteries from SmaTree.
To bring the extra batteries I placed each inside an ice bag, then placed them inside a small waterproof plastic container (BioKip). I also placed a handkerchief in the plastic container to remove the wetness on my hand and the GoPro casing. Then we placed them inside a drybag.
My 32GB SD Card did not last too. When we were at Kawasan Falls I was already looking for footages that I could delete. Unfortunately, selecting a footage to delete with a GoPro is really difficult but necessary. Next time I do this I’ll be more selective with what I am taking a video or photo with.
18. Be steady when taking photos with an Action Camera
Most of my pictures were blurry because I kept on moving the GoPro when we were taking photos and videos. Since there’s very few sunlight in the canyoneering because sunlight is being blocked by trees and cliffs the camera needs more time for the shutter to get a good photo. Moving the GoPro while the shutter is still open will make a blurry picture.
19. Droplets on the Action Camera
Most of the times there will be droplets on the lens of the GoPro Camera. You can treat your lens with an anti-droplet solution to help solve this.
If you are like who did not have the time to do this you can bring a toothpaste and apply it, rinse it on your lens. Unfortunately, the toothpaste method will not work after a few minutes. It was a hassle pulling out a toothpaste and applying it too. So in the end, I used saliva to remove the droplets. It was faster to apply and readily available. 😛
Best solution will still be to treat your lens with a anti-droplet solution.
Second level of Kawasan Falls
20. There are stores when you arrive at the Kawasan Falls area
Upon arrival at the third level of Kawasan Falls there are already stalls where you can buy some sweets and chips.
There are more established stores at the second level and first level of Kawasan Falls.
21. Habal-habal at Kawasan Falls
There are habal-habals that you can hire at the first level of Kawasan Falls to Matutinao Beach Resort. A ride costs 50 Pesos/person. This is not included in the 1,500 Pesos/person fee.
We asked our guides on how long the walk was they told us it was around 1.5kms to which we all decided to walk since we still have the strength and patience to walk that far. (18 minutes walk)
22. There’s food at the end
At the end of the Canyoneering Activity there’s food!!! And it’s included in the 1,500 Pesos/person fee. 🙂
Shower and Comfort Room at Matutinao Beach Resort
23. Freshen Up and Change of Clothes
Since we were renting a room at Matutinao Beach Resort we had a place to take a shower and to change clothes but if you are not staying here do not worry. Matutinao Beach Resort has an outside shower room and bathroom that you can use.
Habal-habal to Osmeña Peak then to Dalaguete
24. Where to next
What we did after our Canyoneering was stay overnight at Matutinao Beach Resort and early in the morning we rode a habal-habal to Osmeña Peak, then to Dalaguete which cost us 700 Pesos/person. At Dalaguete we rode a bus to Oslob.
If you want to avail of the habal-habal ride from Badian to Osmeña Peak and back the rate would be 500 Pesos/person (roundtrip)
You can also visit Lambug Beach in Badian for the sunset. The rate for the habal-habal is 50 Pesos/person (one-way)
You can also ride a bus to Bato, then from Bato ride another bus to Oslob. In Oslob you can visit Tumalog Falls. Sorry, we I was not able to know how much each bus fare is and the schedule.
I hope the above information helps you
If you want to avail of the activity you can book with Kawasan Canyoneering.

Love your blogs, very detailed..
Thanks Dave! Keep on traveling! ^_^
Thank you for sharing your experiences in canyoneering in Cebu. I have read that one of the best local guides there had a fatal accident during one of those trips. From that time until your visit, have you noticed if there are more strict precautionary measures implemented in order to prevent another similar accident?
Hey Larry, I heard about that one too. Yes, there are improvements now to prevent such a thing from happening. They now require to register at Alegria Tourism and there’s also another registration area at the starting point. Both points will prevent anyone from proceeding if the river is not ideal for Canyoneering.
Also, that’s the very reason why we went with Kawasan Canyoneering because they are from there. They know more the weather patterns and the conditions of the river than those who provide the Canyoneering Service based outside Badian/Alegria.
I am planning to go solo on my canyoneering adventure. Do you happen to know if they could accomodate solo adventurers like me? Thanks for the help.
Yes. I asked Kawasan Canyoneering if they could accommodate solo travelers. Either you pay a much higher fee, I think it was somewhere around 1,500 Pesos, or another group would agree to include you.
Wow, thanks for this very informative blog. This is so much appreciated. Hi Josiah, me and my friends will be going to Cebu month of March and I’d like to ask if its okay to go to Oslob first and then go Canyoneering? What can you suggest as we were having a hard time doing the sequence of our 4days itinerary. (Actually we were debating if we still have time going to Bohol) or is it possible to have a Cebu-Bohol trip for a 4days vacay? Thanks in advance
I’d like to ask if its okay to go to Oslob first and then go Canyoneering?
Yes, this is possible. Our guides even told us that some who avail of the activity came from Oslob first.
What can you suggest as we were having a hard time doing the sequence of our 4days itinerary.
Carcar City (Lechon) – Osmena Peak – Oslob (Tumalog Falls & Whale Shark Watching) – Badian (Lambug Beach & Canyoneering)
(Actually we were debating if we still have time going to Bohol) or is it possible to have a Cebu-Bohol trip for a 4days vacay?
No idea po ako. Pero kung 4 days lang po ang itinerary ninyo, South Cebu palang kulang na kulang na.
Hi, do you think it’s ideal for me to bring my mirrorless camera for this kind of activity? I was planning to place it safely on an aquabag. I was really hoping to get great quality pictures of the rivers and falls. I am just concerned that I am risking a lot since my camera is not water resistant. Your advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Hi Clarize, hmmm…. It’s a great risk. A seriously great risk. There were times that the guide would throw the drybag down to the water so if you have a mirrorless camera you would have to cushion it from such falls. Then you still have to waterproof.
I won’t stop you if you want to bring your camera, since I’ve done it before on another trip. 😛
But please really consider the risk.
Hi! When you mentioned about wearing shoes, may I know what kind of shoes? Sneakers type? Or running shoes? Or aqua shoes? Thanks!
May mga nakita po ako na naka-sneaker type, running shoes, aqua shoes and basketball shoes. Pero advisable po yung trekking shoes na pwede po mabasa. Yung gamit ko po ay running shoes.
we are 3 women in our late 40s who are planning to go canyoneering by the end of Feb. I jog for an hour at least twice a week but one of our companions rarely has any form of exercise but has an adventurous spirit. do you think we can do this?
Yes. You can do it. I think I have the same sedentary life as your friend. The guides will also assess if you are capable or not before the start of the tour.
Thanks for this! I got even more excited for our canyoneering trip next month! I’ll show this post to my group. Cheers! 😉
Great to hear this post got you more excited. Enjoy your Cebu Canyoneering! ^_^
Very informative. Thanks for the tips! I’ll be sure to take note of it for our trip this year. 🙂
Thanks Bheng! Enjoy Cebu Canyoneering!
this blog is so helpful! thanks! may i ask though, is it possible to:
take a day trip (since were booked at Cebu City) to do the Kawasan Canyoneering adventure then ride a habal to Lambug Beach right after, and then go back to Cebu City? all in one day yes lol
Yes. Your plan is possible but you will be on amazing race mode.
Hello po, good day! Salamat po for your detailed blog. I & my bf will be celebrating our anniversary in Cebu on Sept 2016. We are planning to do the canyoneering, as part of our itinerary . Pero do i need to be an expect in swimming sa mga activities included? Thanks po.. 🙂
Hi Krizza, no need to be an expert in swimming. None of the members of our group was an expert in swimming. Also one of us do not know how to swim. This is okay since there’s a sturdy life vest that we used for the activity.

Do we really need to jump for all spot? Can we just walk down ?
There are some you can walk down. There are also many that you need to jump.
What if i’ll travel alone? Can i join other group to save money?
Hey Bhernn! Yes, you can join other groups to save money. I’ve had friends who went there alone and was joined with other groups.
how much did it cost u for the cottage/room?
im actually planning to go there with someone…mmmhhhh… i dont know yet who but we only have 2 days for this. we’ll be leaving cebu city around 2pm on saturday stay ovrnight at the beach and’ll be doing canyoneering the next day (sunday) then head back to cebu after. do u think plan right? ur suggestion will be appreciated.thanks ^_^
You can see the rate of Matutinao Beach Resort here. What you are planning is possible. ^_^
Hello. What if it’s only the two of us? Will it still be 500 per pax? Thank you
1,500 Pesos per person po kahit gaano po kayo karami.
Hi,
Will appreciate if you can include the dangers of cliff diving. I was a victim of spine fracture because of incorrect landing during my 70feet high dive last Sept. 2016. Now I’ll be needing surgery 🙂
Hi Grace, I feel sad to hear about your situation. I hope you are doing better now. I think that what jumped out off was really high (70ft) compared to Cebu Canyoneering’s 20ft but it should still be stressed of the dangers of cliff diving.
During the briefing our guides taught us on how to properly “land” on the water and they also told us the dangers with cliff diving.
mahirap po b. may asthma kse ako.
salamat
Sayang! I hope dumating po yung time na gumaling po kayo sa asthma ninyo.
Hi! we’re planning to go to kawasan as well. your blog really help us. Is it possible though to travel to kawasan then O peak after in a day? 🙂
Hi Kate! Yes, it’s possible to do visit Osmeña Peak after doing the Kawasan Canyoneering.
When we arrived in Matutinao Beach Resort there was a group who just finished doing the canyoneering. They ate lunch, then after they rode habal-habals to Osmeña Peak. They arrived late at night at Matutinao.
This was also our original plan. But we enjoyeed the Canyoneering too much that we decided to do Osmeña Peak the next day.
Very informative thank you.. ask ko lang po sana, plan kasi namin magdaytrip from cebu city to kawasan then balik sa city, paano po ba yung mga sasakyan namin tsaka bababaan.. first time pa lang kasi namin tsaka any tips para makatipid,. Salamat
Same lang po ng ginawa namin pero ang habulin niyo po ay yung masmaaga na alis ng bus. Posible po ang daytrip for Kawasan Canyoneering. May mga nakasabay kami na Day trip po ang ginawa.
Hello,
Thanks for you sharing!
i have a question, is it possible to go ist in oslob then osmena then canyoonering? is there a bus from oslob to dalaguete? bus from dalaguete proper to kawasan falls?
Pls help me..
Thank you so much
Hi Kiana, yes. It is possible to visit Oslob first then Osmena Peak then Canyoneering. You’ll have to do everything in reverse.
From Oslob to Dalaguete, ride a bus.
From Dalaguete – Osmena Peak – Kawasan Falls, habal-habal.
I hope the above helps.
Hi, are there helmets and vest for rent in the area if i do not have any package tour?
I’m not sure if not availing of the package is still allowed. I heard that they became really strict.
Hi!
Nice blog, very informative!
Ask ko lang kung action cam lang talaga ginamit mo to take pictures through out the trek? Di pedeng magdala ng phones for picture taking?
Thanks in advance 🙂
Hi Li, pwede naman po pero risk niyo po na magdala ng phone. Nung time na nag-canyoneering kami may mga nagdala ng mga phones nila at once in a while nag-ppicture sila. Pero iwaterproof niyo po ng maayos at ilabas niyo lang po kung kailan safe ilabas.
Hi!
Your blog is so detailed! I liked it! But there is one question in my mind. I’m a solo traveler, Before I will go to kawasan to do some canyoneering, I will be coming from Oslob to do whale shark watching. My question is, can I show up there with no reservation or anything? I mean, where should I pay the fee and where will I leave my bags since I am a solo traveler?
Please help me. It would be a big factor on my planning. Thanks!
Hey Brian, when we were there you can show up without reservation but I’m not really sure now if that is allowed as there is not a limited number per day that can do the activity (I think). As for your bags you can leave them at Matutinao Beach Resort. Most of the people who availed Kawasan Canyoneering left their bags with Matutinao Beach Resort. They hid the bags and not displayed in public. Then when they finished the activity they gave their bags back. I hope this helps.
Hi Josiah,
Thanks for the informative. I’m trying to reach the number you left here, unfortunately, no one is answering the call. My boyfriend and I will travel to south cebu this March. What would you recommend if we’ll reach Mactan at 7am, should we go to Oslob first or Badian? Thanks!
Hi Eunice, if you are planning to do the Whale Shark Watching on the same day as your flight I do not think that you would reach Oslob on time as there’s a time limit to do Whale Shark Watching, I think it was 12NN. After that no Whale Shark Watching is allowed. Therefore, I would recommend heading to Badian first.
hi,
Do you think Whale shark watching and canyoneering can be done in onde day? If so, what would you suggest to do first? Thanks a lot
Hi, yes. I think they can be done in a single day but you would be in an amazing race mode. Start with the Whale Shark Watching then the Canyoneering. But you have to stay at Oslob so that you would be able to be on the first batch of the Whale Shark Watching. But I have not tried this, so I’m not really 100% sure this is possible.
When i go to Kawasan Falls for canyoing by bus from Cebu , can i put my luggage ( small suitcase) in a save place when i arrive there?
Hi Rene, the answer to this already written on the post. Kindly read and know more.
Hi! Is it possible at all to skip the canyoneering part and be at the Kawasan falls directly? The people coming with us are not physically fit to do such activity but would very much like to see the beauty of the falls! Is it possible? If yes do we need to book the tour in advance?
Hi Celine, yes. It is possible to go to Kawasan Falls directly without doing the Canyoneering activity.
You do not need to book the tour in advance when visiting Kawasan Falls only.
Just head to Matutinao Beach Resort and you will see the sign on where to walk to Kawasan Falls. You may also hire a habal-habal going to Kawasan Falls from Matutinao Beach Resort.
Hello Josiah,
Your blog is very informative.. this will come in handy during my south Cebu tour.
By the way, I have a question – is it possible to bring a dslr during canyoneering? Want to capture some good shots but I don’t have an action cam.
Thanks for your help.
– Roy
Hi Roy, Thank you for your kind words.
I think it’s possible to bring a dSLR but you have to seriously waterproof it and make sure to cushion it from shocks as you will be jumping and throwing the camera bag.
Personally, I think it’s too great a risk if it were my dSLR, but I will not stop you.
If you do it, I would really be amazed by what you did.
Sorry, if my answer does not help.
Hi Josiah,
Would you say any bouldering/climbing experience is required to go on the canyoneering?
Hi Teo, bouldering/climbing experience is not required for canyoneering. Any abled-body can do it.
I wanna do Canyoneering in Kawasan falls.
Please let me know how to pay 1,500 pesos per person and do Canyoneering.
Let me know the details.
Thank you
Kindly message Kawasan Canyoneering directly.
Hi Josiah,
Great detail u have there!
Few questions:
– can we bring our phones during canyoneering?
– do they have bike renting nearby for us to tour around?
– can we book the tour when we reach kawasan?
Appreciate your reply. Thanks mate!
Hi Cm,
Here are my answers to your questions.
– can we bring our phones during canyoneering?
Yes but I would not recommend it. I’ve seen a lot of people do this. Waterproof your phone very well. Preferably place it inside a waterproof phone holder then put it inside a dry bag, just to be extra sure.
– do they have bike renting nearby for us to tour around?
I’m not sure. When I went back in Matutinao Beach Resort they did not have a bike for rent there.
– can we book the tour when we reach kawasan?
Now that there is a limit to the number of persons who can do the Canyoneering I would recommend booking in advance.
I hope this helps.
Thank you so much Josiah. Thats very helpful.
Do you have any reliable contact to book the Kawasan canyoneering and the waterfall tour?
Im going with my girlfriend.
Thanks!
You’re welcome!
I would recommend the service provider Kawsan Canyoneering. Their website and other contact details can be found in the post. ^_^
Enjoy!
Try Island Trek Tours, their package includes pick up and drop to any hotel in Cebu city or Mactan.
Hello I had spinal surgery when I was 21 where I had metal rods put either side of my spine. I’m 26 now. I am working for emirates and my next trip is to cebu. Am I able to take part in the activities of canyoneering? I would love to do it but I am so scared of injuring my spine. Please any information and advice is welcomed. I don’t want to miss out on this opertunity but at the same time I don’t want to redamge my spine Thankyou
Hey Delia, my wife did the Cebu Canyoneering but on the first jump she made a mistake and somehow hurt her back and we needed to consult a doctor after the trip. I’m not happy to say this but I think it’s a high risk for you to do the Cebu Canyoneering, but I think you better consult a doctor, a sports doctor to be exact as they are the ones who are positive with these kinds of activities and health. It’s up to you if you want to do the Canyoneering activity. Enjoy your travel here.
Hi Josiah,
Thank you for all your tips and guides. I just want to know how to enjoy Kawasan falls without doing the canyoneering. And if there are other tourist spots worth visiting.
Thanks you.
Hi thank you for this informative post! My friend and I are planning to do visit Pescador, Osmeña Peak and canyoneering in 1 day. However, upon reading so many blogs, I was hesitant to do all of it within a day since we may hurry from one place to another. What can you recommend about this? We are coming from the city and planning to do a DIY tour since we are looking for budget friendly travels. Thanks in advance!
Hi, thanks for your detailed description. However i still have some questions:
-Are Badian canyoneering and Alegria canyoneering the same?
-I have my international flight at 8pm in Cebu: do you advise to do this trip in one day (maybe leaving early in the morning from Cebu)
-so far I am a solo traveller: would you advise to take the bus by myself to/from Cebu or does it take more time than with an organized tour (of course more expensive but I can not afford to lose the flight :P)
thanks 🙂
