Cambais Falls

Beautiful spit and a sweet motorbike ride towards it. Since there is no network there you will jot easily find the entrance to the trail towards the falls. Stop at this new dam for the entrance (see photo). It will then take you a 15 min walk to get there. My son and I enjoyed a lot jumping from the rocks and playing with the local kids. Fun!

There are an abundance of waterfalls in Cebu, I only had the pleasure of visiting two. This was the most grand! The first waterfall is a great swimming hole and place where many local ohana park it, picnic, and have a dip. Some brave souls will do some jumps. Some more adventurous will go up and to the second waterfall which is a lot bigger! There are less people here so you have more room to swim and jump, or just admire the beauty of a tall waterfall. I had a little bit of a hard time finding the waterfall. I mainly relied on finding marked trails. Don't give up, it's not too hard to find! I didn't have to pay to enter btw!

Maybe it is bad luck... but not a great experience in general. People were not very welcoming. Children asked to watch our bikes and to guide us. We said no to not encourage child labor. The adults were asleep, didn't even say hi or helped with the directions. There was not enough water running down the river so the falls were very very tiny with no currents (maybe because of the dry season of December?). As a result: stagnant waters, algae and mosquitoes. There was also a lot of trash on the track, in the water and around the falls. We didn't swim because we didn't felt comfortable. Highly recommend Hidden falls instead.

This waterfall was quite tough to find! It was really far in without any signs and the roads were very bumpy. Nonetheless, when we arrived there was a group of kids that offered to take care of our bikes and guide us. We decided to allow them to guide us and I think it was good to have them. They showed us the jump points and they didn't speak much, although they were young they were very concerned with our safety. They helped carry our items when needed and they were a joy to be around. The walk in was likely around 15-20mins, surreal nature, untouched and just natural (unlike other falls) The kids were nice enough to say that it's up to us to pay them/tip them. Very thankful for their time! Very beautiful well hidden waterfalls, do visit it if you get a chance! And the kids were trustworthy.
