Some details on this page have not yet been independently confirmed. Please confirm them directly with Pagsanjan Falls (Cavinti Falls) before you go.
Why it ranks
Multi-drop waterfall at the head of the Pagsanjan Gorge, traditionally reached by boatmen poling dugout canoes upriver and 'shooting the rapids' back down.
Don't miss: Take the dugout boat upriver, raft under the falls, then shoot the rapids back.
Best for: Day-trippers from Manila who want a river adventure rather than a beach.
Good to know: Boat fees are set per canoe and boatmen expect a tip; water levels and trips can be suspended after heavy rain, so go in the morning and check conditions on the day.
