Who will not get amazed with falls? the freezing water and its healing properties. Its tiresome nature trekking for about 30minutes but it will be replaced with relaxing feeling afterwards. All energy drained will pay off. Along the way, there are Coconut juice vendors selling junk foods and local delicacies if one intends to have stop over. Tired bones? there is a carabao ride, of php25pesos per person and having a capacity of approximately 8persons. But the thrill of trekking is better. We were charged php30 pesos per person excluding the fee of the tour guide which is a must especially if there is elder around. The fee is just like giving a generous tip and of great help for the locals because it has become their source of income. When we arrived at the meeting point where vehicles can be parked for free, there are a lot of tour guides. I just hope more tourist will come to the place. Its worthy every penny, energy and time. We spent less than 2 hours and its memorable. by the way, no CRs at the falls and you can change clothing back at the meeting point. I admired the ordinances imposed that prohibits throwing trashes. along the way, i have not seen one.
I am happy that this place is part of our vacation. We walked for more likely around 30 minutes with our very nice tour guides. By the time that we reached the falls it took my breath away... very lovely setting, Its good for picture taking and swimming too! the water was very cold that time and we loved it! and there are also food stand along the way. so you'll never get hungry.
We visited the place with senior citizens and they enjoyed the time there very much. There could be some minor improvements in fixing bridges and handrails. But our very friendly guide told us, that the government planing to build a road to the falls. PLEASE don't build that road! It would destroy not only the environment but the entire ambience. There is a nice car parking at the entrance. There is a 20 Pesos/pax entrance fee plus a 100 Peso guide fee. From there you have a nice walk along a stream for about 30-45 minutes. Several - but not too many- food stalls offering local desserts and fresh drinks along the way.We could see butterflies and birds along the way and a beautiful scenery (young growing rice fields) and mountains around. The waterfall is surely worth a visit. Its possible to swim under the waterfall.
This is the last destination of our south and north tour. After paying the entrance fee, we are accompanied by one of the resident tour guide of Kabigan Falls. The trek from the main entrance to the falls is almost 1.5 kilometers. If you are not accustomed to long walks, you'll definitely get tired, thus a few stops and a bottle of mineral water is all you need. Kabigan Falls is surrounded by vast forest and you can see freshwater rushing along the trail from the falls. Sometimes, muddy, sometimes rocky, a little uphill there and then, but the trail to Kabigan Falls is a scene to behold. When we reach the site, we can't help but enjoy the gushing water from atop the mountain. There are a few tourists enjoying a dip on the concave basin of the falls and the waters during that time is not that deep but not too shallow. We took a dip and enjoyed the cool refreshing water. As usual taking pictures is a must in this falls. It may be a long 30 minute walk to the falls, but it is worth the sweat.
We loved this part of our tour. We tried to pay our fee twice (foreigners ignorance) and our guard laughed at us (kindly of course) but we appreciated their honesty. We went for a walk which we were told was a 'hike' it wasn't that bad at all, even in our sandals. The scenery is beautiful along the walk, mountains jutting up next to rice fields. We finally reached the waterfall and it was gorgeous, the only thing I would have wished would have been to be there in the middle of the day as we were still in morning shadow so the water wasn't lit up and I imagine it would shine a brilliant green. Definitely would recommend doing this if staying in Pagugpud.
Together with a guide you'll embark on a surprisingly nice and comfortable trek towards the waterfall, passing small rivers and open fields on the way. The waterfall itself is great and serves as a nice finish, but I think the walking there deserves some credit as well.The guide will escort you to the waterfall for free, but as in most places you'll have to pay a small environmental fee for entering the park.If you're in Pagudpud, this is a must. Don't forget the camera and a change of clothes for swimming!
Long walk to paradise but with stop over so you at least rest and eat their kakanin whick is like carioca here in Manila. Buko is so refreshing to drink here which are readilly available. Long walk means longer time to appreciate the beauty of nature. Once you arrive at the falls I'm definitely sure you will fall in love with the falls. Be early if u want to experince the fall all by yourself coz tourist continually arrive till the afternoon and if u dont want extra in your pictorial.
It's definitely worth the 45 minute hike. The trail is kid friendly and and not that difficult. Sights along trail is also beautiful. We're lucky to have the falls to ourselves during our visit. Just make sure to bring a change of clothes so you can enjoy swimming there.
we enjoyed our trek uphill to see this falls. wear a good slipper so you wouldnt end up walking barefoot. Water is so refreshing better go here as early as possible to avoid the crowd. Be responsible with your trash.
The trek to the falls is so tiring. I even forgot to bring water to drink. My friend and I walked way too far to reach the falls. The rate to visit the falls is at P80, more or less, then we added some more for our tour guide who answered everything I asked (I am always curious in everything that seems interesting). Right when we arrived at the falls, I am in awe and kept taking pictures (LOL).
