Estrella Falls
- Swimming
- Family-friendly
- Nature
A twin-tiered waterfall in mainland Palawan, far from the usual island-hopping routes.
Estrella Falls drops in two tiers into cool, green pools beside a resort-style park in Narra, southern Palawan. It is a refreshing inland break from Palawan's beaches and underground river tours, and is quiet on weekdays, though local crowds arrive at weekends. The site includes cottages and picnic grounds shaded by tall trees.
