Seven connected cascades in the Lake Sebu highlands, seen on foot or from one of Asia's highest ziplines.
The Seven Falls are a chain of cascades fed by the outflow of Lake Sebu, which passes through Lake Seloton before reaching the falls. Each fall has a T'boli name. Hikong Alu (Passage) is the first and widest at about 11 m. Hikong Bente (Immeasurable) is the tallest at about 21 m and is reached by a 774-step stairway. The remaining five, Hikong B'lebed, Hikong Lowig, Hikong K'foi, Hikong Ukol and Hikong Tonok, need a longer guided trek. The two-leg zipline passes about 180 m above the gorge and crosses four of the falls.
