How to get to Kawasan Falls,
Cebu
Getting ready
Kawasan Falls is located at
Matutinao Badian, Cebu. Getting to
the Water Falls is a 1+ kilometers
hike from the main road. There are
no vehicles that would take you
there, as the local government is
trying to protect the area from
things that could destroy it's
natural beauty.
Badian Town is also known for it's
beautiful white beaches, so you
might want to check out it's
beaches as well.
* As always, iTravelskiks
recommends to pack your things
light as you'll have to hike to get
there.
How to get there
Best starting part is Cebu City Area
1. From any part of Cebu City
First step is to get to the Cebu
South Bus Terminal (CSBT).
- If you are not familiar with the
city and doesn't know where it is
located, you can always take a taxi
for convenience in travel.
- If you know the place, hid down to
the Cebu south Bus Terminal
(CSBT) via jeepney.

Jeepney

2. Arrival at Cebu South Bus
Terminal (CSBT)
- Upon arriving at the Cebu South
Bus Terminal (CSBT), you can
always choose from the three Bus
Companies plying for the Badian
route where the falls is situated.
The CERES BUS, LIBRANDO BUS,
and the ROUGH RIDERS BUS. I
personally recommend taking the
CERES Bus Lines, but you can take
any of the three.
Note: Ceres Bus and Rough Riders
Bus can be found inside the Cebu
South Bus Terminal, while Librando
Bus can be found at it's own
terminal located right across the
Cebu South Bus Terminal.

3. On the road
- The trip usually takes 2 hours
or more depending on the
traffic and how fast the
bus goes. So while you are on the
road, relax and take time to enjoy
the scenic mountain and seaside
views. You might also want to try
out some of those delicacies from
the towns you pass your way.

Some delicacies you might want to
try :
Car-Car Chicharon
Barili's Otap - Shamrock
Mantalungon's Bibingka
4. Where to stop
- You will have to stop at
Matutinao Badian Church. Just
to give you more specifics on the
church's location, you will have to
pass the Badian Public Market for
about 10-15 mins. Passing through
the road going to Green Island.
- If you really are a bit unsure of it's
location, no need to worry as the
Bus Conductor and Drivers are very
accommodating and would be
happy to drop you off at the exact
location. Just ask and tell them with
a smile.
( Tell Bus Conductor to drop
you off at the Matutinao
Church Badian for KAWASAN
FALLS )
5. Arrival at Matutinao Church
- You will be met by tour guides
who would offer to walk you
through the water falls or help you
in carrying your things. If you
packed yourself light, there is no
need for one, as you would never
get lost just by yourself if you'll just
follow the super easy trail. - If you
need one, just give him a little tip
later.
6. Get walking
- Follow the trail and enjoy the
Fresh, Cool, Rejuvenating
sound of the fresh cold
flowing water while the birds
sing their things at the
background.
Entrance Fee : Php 10.00 ( + - )
7. Arrival at the falls
KAWASAN has two ideal water
falls to check out. The best one
is the first falls which has a wider
swimming area. The second water
falls can be found a climb up the
first one and is a little smaller and
a little more developed than the
first one. Sad to say, that due to it's
development, the area's natural
beauty has been compromised.
8.Get crazy!
- Get crazy and enjoy the super
cold fresh water of the
KAWASAN FALLS.
*iTravelskiks recommends : That
if you don't know how to swim, rent
a life Jacket. If you do know how to
swim, rent a life jacket as well for
safety. The cold water can easily
cause you leg cramps while
swimming.
