Waterfalls in Cebu

Cebu is the most heavily covered province in our directory, with listings from the northern hills around Danao down to the canyoneering towns of Badian, Alegria and Samboan. Cebu City is the main gateway, and the south coast is the usual base for Aguinid, Dao, Inambakan, Kawasan and Tumalog. The terrain is limestone and karst, with river trekking, gorge walks and some steep descents. Many sites require a guide and charge an entrance fee, and access can close after heavy rain. The dry season from December to May is the safest window for the longer routes.
