tinuy-an falls

Letsbedizzy

I'm really not a waterfalls fan but I couldn't help but be amazed with the scenic Tinuy-an Falls. It's the first one I've seen with several tiers/levels and I think it's one of the best in the country. It totally made the 1-hour habal-habal trip from Bislig so worth it.We were there early in the morning, which was a good idea because there weren't too many people. Entrance is P50, which is actually very cheap considering how well they are keeping the place very clean and waste-free.You must try the bamboo raft which takes you right under the falls!

The falls is there to be experienced! Do not scrimp on the P150 fee for the balsa (bamboo raft) that would take you right under the second-tier of the Tinuy-an Falls. And be generous with the tip to the trek guide that will take you to the top-tier and he would gladly take your pictures while you are traipsing in the water. Ian, our guide, also knew the best spots and angles for great pictures. He would even go back down and up again so he could take your pictures from different great vantage points.And yes, the water was grrrrrrrreat!

The natural wild growth, the serenity and the warm folks who take care of the clean surroundings, complete with waste segregation bins. First and second layers of the falls easily manageable but the 3rd layer not for seniors and the weak knees. Also be careful with the mossy rocks, can be very slippery.

A scenic falls! Great for pictures. One of the best in the Philippines. Best to go there in the morning.

We've been there a couple of times already during Christmas/New Year vacation, yet there is still so much to be excited for. The development of Tinuy-an Falls is apparent ever since my first visit and it's definitely improving. Entrance fee costs P50 each, raft riding costs P150 and the cottage costs around P300. Though the road going there is rocky, it is still worth the trip. One could also go to the higher level of the falls. Great view as always!

The 2 hrs rough road ride from Hinatuan to Tinuy-an is a tough ride indeed but its worth it. Tinuy-an Falls looks so surreal. Its majestic picturesque beauty is so refreshing to my eyes, it seems its just a postcard. You can bring food for lunch. The facilities are not well maintained and the toilet is dirty. They should improve this since they are already attracting a lot of tourists.

Its been awhile since I saw a falls. This place surely gives you the serenity and calm. Its one of mother earths greatest creation, The place is ok but then a gain I suggests that those who wanted to go there needs to bring food and water. Please don't used a sedan, used either SUV or a Van. The road is rough and muddy.

Cheap entrance fee for a memory that would last a long time. A 3 tier magnificent falls in varying levels but each accessible within 10 min walk. The second level is where most people flocked as it is the widest and where one can ride under the falls using a bamboo raft for 150 Php each. The highest level is also wide but small and those wanting to be away from the crowd. The waterfalls site is developed and even have lodging for those who want to stay overnight. There are also table and cottages available for the family or large groups and a restaurant nearby.

when we went there, i was lyk, "okay, just another falls" but when we went closer, it was so huge and was amazed more when we went up. the view at the top was one of a kind compared to the other falls that i had been to. the water was not too strong when we went there so we enjoyed the scene so much and we had great pictures. The view at the top was beautiful and looking down the falls makes it more exciting. What added to the fun was when we also rode a bamboo raft to get underneath the falls and swim. if you go there and dont swim, you will not enjoy but if you will and make the most out it, this surely will be one of your unforgettable experiences. the fees are expensive, facilities needs improvement, transportation to the place was a challenge, though its easy if you hav a private car, good thing we had a remarkable the experience.

It was definitely worth the long, winding, and bumpy trip! 1. Mesmerizing view of wide curtain of non-stop water.2. Entrance fee is very affordable, including the balsa ride.3. The trail going up the second level of the falls is not easy but the hand rail provided was very helpful.4. Better to wear aqua shoes than rubber slippers. 5. The "boatmen" can take good pictures, while you enjoy the place. 6. Not too far from another another beautiful place, Enchanted River.

A must-see in Surigao del Sur. Ride the balsa (P150 for 20mins) and hike up to see the rest of the falls. You can hire a guide, just give a tip. It's open as early as 6am.Entrance fee P50, vest for rent P30

You can easily include the falls in a day trip with te enchanted river from Butuan. The falls themselves are really nice and beautiful. Swimming in the rock pools and climbing to the top is good fun, too.

Passed by this beautiful falls on our way to Enchanted River. It is composed of 3 layers but have to climb up to see the top 2. The falls was pretty and one could go rafting in the lowest level. There was not so much water when we visited so the falls did not look as majestic as in some photos I have seen. During the rainy season, the falls would probably look more beautiful and more fitting of its claim as the "Niagara Falls" of the Philippines.

Travel time from Davao is 5 hours, accessible by car, van or suv. No need to hike on the way to falls. Bring insect repellent and sunscreen so you can explore and climb to the other tier levels. Perfect for aspiring photographers but no other activities to offer aside from swimming and having a picnic. Fresh seafood can be bought around the resort. Try the bamboo raft! It was long and bumpy ride but it was well worth it!

I am a native born in Bislig but since i leave my hometown on 2003. I had been noticed from social networking site, youtube, and even in tv that there is a wonderful place a must to visit and it is tinuy-an falls. I said wow when i saw it in the first time the wide waterfalls with very loudy but relaxing sound of large amount of water falling from the top. We spent time there with family and relatives.It is a cool place for relaxing.
