After visiting the Enchanted River of Hinatuan, we proceeded to Tinuy-an Falls, touted as Niagara Falls of the Philippines. This beauty is located in Burboanan, Bislig City, one hour ride from Mangagoy (where I was born) and a good 45 minutes if coming from Hinatuan. For those planning to do a DIY trip here, there are habal-habal available although be extra cautious because the road here is not yet paved. A minimal fee is required upon entrance. Life jackets are also being rented but is not required.
The site of cascading falls welcomed us although I noticed that the water is not as strong like on my first visit. This, however, did not stop us from exploring and enjoying the area.

Aside from the "main" falls, there are also mini falls at the top so if your feeling adventurous, this is also a great activity. However, one activity that you shouldn't miss (at least for me) when visiting Tinuy-an is riding the balsa (raft) and shower in the falls. The pressure is really strong and its like getting a hard massage. Again, be extra cautious, the water is somewhat murky and the rocks are slippery.
The day before our visit was the celebration of Adlaw ng Tinuy-an (Tinuy-an Day), that's why a stage was set up here. Of course, this spot is perfect for my barkada's jump shot :)
