Getting from Eskapo Verde to Kawasan Falls?

It’s very easy! If you want to go canyoneering then we can arrange a tour with our local partner which includes pickup and return to Eskapo. It is no longer possible to just visit the Falls due to damage caused by Typhoon Odette in 2021. If you want to arrange your own canyoneering trip then the easiest way is to hop on any of the Ceres or Metrolink buses passing our entrance and get a ticket to Kawasan. The bus will drop you at the church in Matutinao which is right by the entrance to the falls, there will be many people offering you canyoneering trips. Note that the prices are fixed by local government, anyone offering less than the standard P1500 per head will be giving you less . . . !

To come back just wave down any bus heading north in the direction of Cebu. Fare is P20-25 per head.

What time does Kawasan Falls open?

The Falls open at 7am and close at 5 or 6pm (depending on the time of year), you can visit the falls at any time during opening hours. Cut-off time for starting *canyoneering* is around 1pm but please check with us or your guide for exact times. Last pickup from Eskapo Verde for a canyoneering tour is around 12.30pm.
