Canyoneering at Kawasan Falls, Badian, Cebu

By nickahtolentino - March 18, 2019

We arrived in Cebu City last night, before exploring the beautiful city of Cebu, we researched where to stay and where to go. Badian, Cebu is 4 hours away from the City, we left the hostel around 5:00 A.M. and headed to South Cebu Bus terminal. Take the bus to Bato via Barili and ask the conductor to drop you in Badian Cebu. The fare is around 150pesos ($3.00). My friend was the one who booked in Kawasan Canyoneering, the contact person asks us to drop by their headquarters.
Their package cost around 1500 pesos ($30) per head, that includes tour guide, life vest, water, and your meal after the tour.
We rode a motorcycle going to the entrance, there will be tourist information or orientation before starting your Canyoneering and Kawasan Experience. I’m not a good swimmer, I need to wear it all the time.
As soon as we saw the river we were amazed by the turquoise blue water. They are really turquoise blue, pictures are not photoshopped. You can really tell that current is strong, the water is pushing me to the next trek. I thought I’d be able to see the Kawasan Falls right away.
One of the highlights of the Canyoneering is the 12feet jump and the Natural Slide.

And 10feet or 8 feet jump. PS. We really jump, this is once in a lifetime experience.


Next is the Hand swing. They did not allow us to take a jump because the water level is not enough by that time.

And at the end of the tour is the breathtaking Kawasan Falls. You can actually rent out a cottage in Kawasan, there are transient houses that you can rent out in Kawasan Falls.

I recommend going in November to December, the place is not too crowded tho you cannot join big random groups because it’s not that peak season. You’ll be spending more but you can have and enjoy the place with lesser people.

The lesson you’ll realize before you dive, standing in the flat-form or up before jumping will make you feel everything; happiness, fear, anxiety, nervousness, adrenaline, and even get you to feel excited. While standing there, it’s whether take the risk to jump or just stay and watch everyone else. When you choose to jump, all the feelings you feel before jumping will be gone and you’ll feel like fulfill another dream. Another achievement that you survived from taking that risk, another challenge in your life. Taking all the risk can be negative or positive, there will be always pros and cons.
