I found the place truly wonderful and amazing but it was not what I expect because the water was not clear maybe because of the rain, so disappointing to see a color brown water but the falls is so good looking.
The falls is not as high as we thought about waterfalls. Yet there were a lot of similar low waterfalls scattered within the area. To go down the place took us less time; but was thinking how could it be in going back. It was a high steep staircase, and so one has to make stops i getting back up to the parking area.
this is a good spot to have a breather in the island.. as you approach the area you can hear the inviting flowing water from the falls. the view is spectacular, the water is so relaxing. we did a trail run at the island and this is one of the stops we made. it's worth it!
we brought roast chicken and ate it there...we spend half of the day just swimming and head back to the resort.. we enjoy it and we like the place
If you are like me who wants to visit different places, better include this with your adventure. We go there cause my mother knows one of the owner and we like to relax away from the city.
I was not really a fan of the place. I think due to the storms that hit before our trip there, the falls is not as good as it used to be. However, it was a great way to bask in the cold water after touring the whole island under the heat of the sun. Refreshing but I expected better.
Far from the likes of great waterfalls but a good nature adventure no less. Made up of many small falls one after another - cascading down rocks, boulders, and natural terrain along a river - Hagimit is ideal for swimming with its cold, refreshing, and not so deep water. There's lot of fun walking above and hopping between rock formations. Foot bridges are available in some areas. There are cottages and umbrella for guests but no decent food available. Confusing was the rate because except for entrance fee, numerous 'rights' claimants of land along the river bank collect 'fees' each time you hop from one place to another. Better plan your trip; bring anything you need and stay where it is most convenient to you.Unfortunately for us, we never had the chance to swim; the water was highly silted when we went there because of heavy downpour the night before.Take a motorcycle (habal-habal) from the resort (where you stay) anywhere in Samal Island and tell driver to bring you to Hagimit. Make sure to arrange for two-way ride since the place is remote and no regular transport going there. From Davao City - with own vehicle - head southeast on Davao-Bukidnon Road (Pan Philippine Highway) towards De Lara Street then turn left onto Mac Arthur Highway all the way onto Buhangin Underpass then turn right towards Davao-Panabo City Road until you reach the ferry terminal going to Samal Island. After disembarking off the ferry, drive straight from the port then turn left towards Babak-Samal-Kaputian Road, Take the first right along Babak-Samal-Kaputian Road then turn left going to Hagimit.
While visiting Samal Island, my fiancé and I decided to visit Hagimit Falls. Let me tell you, if you love nature, beauty, refreshing water, a photographer's heaven, then you will love Hagimit Falls. For a small fee, p40, you can enter this beautiful paradise. We spent several hours photographing the beautiful scenery, swimming in the pools, and walking around. I would definitely recommend this attraction to anyone visiting Samal Island. But rather then pay a resort's fee of up to p3,000 you can catch a tricycle to and back for about p400. Spend the day swimming and soaking up nature at its finest.
Staying at paradise or other resorts, you can take motorcycle or car to the waterfalls take a picnic with you the water was clear and very refreshing (cold) although best to avoid after rain as water is very muddy, lots of locals there nice to mingle its free but if you take car/jeep then you need to pay a small fee
its a little bit remote place but very nice, Dislike- there was no signage on the enter section showing the location of the falls.
