The Kawasan falls are arguable the most beautiful series of waterfalls in the Philippines and are the most visited of all the waterfalls. The are on the island of Cebu and can be reached from anywhere on the island but the closest place to visit them from is from Moalboal in the south west of Cebu. The waterfalls are famous of their gatorade blue colour and for the canyoneering you can do from the various cliffs into the pool beneath. Every corner or hostel in Moalboal will have signs for canyoneering tours and full day tours to the Kawasan falls which if you’re tight on money, tight ton time and hate tours like me you will want to dodge. The tours start from 1500 peso upwards and can be as much as 3000 peso from Moalboal.

This includes you transport, entrance fee, tour guide, lunch and equipment. The tours usually pick you up at 9 am and return somewhere about 3-4pm in the afternoon. I prefer having the freedom…

I didn’t spend any time in Manila itself but from what I saw moving between airport terminals, the traffic is crazy. Most people try get out of Manila ASAP and get to the islands. Airport terminals are up to a 30 minute drive from each other. Leave plenty of time to get between terminals. The domestic and international terminals and terminals 1,2 and 3 are all a drive or bus away from each other and with the horrendous traffic, it can take 30 minutes in a taxi or by bus to get between terminals. Bare this in mind when planning your flights. Currency is Philippine Peso ₱ (€1= ₱ 55/ USD $1= ₱ 50/ AUD $1= ₱ 34). Things in the Philippines run on islands time. The timetables and…
