The waterfall is still largely unknown and wonderfully quiet \u2013 and that&#8217;s exactly what makes it so special. Here&#8217;s everything you need to know about visiting Kabugontan Falls on Cebu, at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h3>In This Post<\/h3><nav><ul><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\ud83d\udef5-anfahrt-mit-dem-scooter-erreichbar-aber-mit-offroad-anteil\">\ud83d\udef5 Getting to Kabugontan Falls: Reachable by Scooter, but with Some Off-Road<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\ud83d\udca7-level-1-ein-naturliches-schwimmbecken-mit-kristallklarem-wasser\">\ud83d\udca7 Level 1: A Natural Swimming Pool with Crystal-Clear Water<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\ud83e\uddd7\u200d\u2642\ufe0f-level-2-4-nur-mit-canyoneering\">\ud83e\uddd7\u200d\u2642\ufe0f Levels 2\u20134: Canyoneering Only<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#\ud83c\udf3f-sauber-ruhig-und-uberraschend-unberuhrt\">\ud83c\udf3f Clean, Quiet and Surprisingly Untouched<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#fazit-kabugontan-falls-cebu\">Our Verdict on Kabugontan Falls Cebu<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"\ud83d\udef5-anfahrt-mit-dem-scooter-erreichbar-aber-mit-offroad-anteil\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udef5 Getting to Kabugontan Falls: Reachable by Scooter, but with Some Off-Road<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting there is part of the experience. From the main road, a narrow, partly bumpy track leads into the hinterland. For experienced riders the trip by scooter is absolutely doable, but you should be prepared for some <strong>off-road stretches<\/strong>. If you enjoy that kind of thing, you&#8217;ll love the route \u2013 it takes you through small villages and past coconut palms through a pleasantly peaceful landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udeb6\u200d\u2642\ufe0f Short Walk: Only 10 Minutes to the Waterfall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A narrow path starts at the small parking area and takes you to the waterfall in about <strong>10 minutes<\/strong>. The trail is easy to walk, shady and clearly visible. After just a few minutes you can already hear the rushing water \u2013 a nice foretaste of what&#8217;s to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-12e252d4     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<iframe\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Kabutongan%20Falls%20J87H%2B3H3%2C%20Ginatilan%2C%20Cebu%2C%20Philippines&#038;z=10&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"300\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<h2 id=\"\ud83d\udca7-level-1-ein-naturliches-schwimmbecken-mit-kristallklarem-wasser\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udca7 Level 1: A Natural Swimming Pool with Crystal-Clear Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entrance to Kabugontan Falls costs <strong>300 PHP per person<\/strong>, including a guide for <strong>Level 1<\/strong>. The guide is &#8220;unfortunately&#8221; mandatory, and during our visit there was no way to see the waterfall without one. What awaits you at Level 1 is truly a highlight in itself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a <strong>natural pool<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>clear as glass<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>perfect for cooling off,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>framed by rocks and lush greenery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No canyoneering needed \u2013 just arrive, jump in and enjoy. There&#8217;s a small rock ledge (about 1.5\u20132 m high) that&#8217;s just begging for a little &#8220;cliff jumping&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, this is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in South Cebu if you simply want to go for a swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"\ud83e\uddd7\u200d\u2642\ufe0f-level-2-4-nur-mit-canyoneering\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddd7\u200d\u2642\ufe0f Levels 2\u20134: Canyoneering Only<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for more adventure, you can tackle the higher levels. There are <strong>four levels<\/strong> in total, with Levels 2 to 4 only reachable by canyoneering. For many visitors Level 1 is more than enough, as the atmosphere there is already dreamy and relaxing. Adventure seekers can go canyoneering; water shoes and safety gear are provided by the guides. However, expect the overall price to be higher in that case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"\ud83c\udf3f-sauber-ruhig-und-uberraschend-unberuhrt\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf3f Clean, Quiet and Surprisingly Untouched<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What strikes you right away: the surroundings are <strong>clean<\/strong>, well kept and feel almost untouched. And the best part: <strong>there are hardly any people around<\/strong>. You feel like you&#8217;ve discovered your own private waterfall \u2013 real luxury compared to the overcrowded <a href=\"https:\/\/cebu101.com\/en\/kawasan-falls-cebu\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9457\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kawasan Falls<\/a>.
