A bit too short, but it was epic. It's a nice tour that takes your breath away. Prepare some cash to tip the people that work in this tour. It is very hard for them.

It was so cool! Trip from Manila is kind of long, i think its 2.5hrs away, but you see a lot and if you have a good tour guide for the ride, they educate you on things and its worth the drive. The actual trip to the waterfalls was really cool but mind blowing what these guys do to get you there. You start out in calm waters in a very skinny kayak. Youll have a guide in the front and back of you. They make their way up river paddling. But when you get to the rapids, these guys are nuts! they constantly half in and out of the kayak, Literally kicking on rocks and pulling you UP the rapids. It must have been so tiring. it was such an experience to see these guys do this. the falls itself was really cool once you get there, you get on a wooden raft and they just pull you into the small cave and then bring you back. My opinion is that the ride up was the experience, not the falls at the end. The surrounding rain forest on the way up is beautiful and never gets old to look at. You sort of just glide back down. We ended up tipping the two guides quite a bit, we just couldn't believe what they just did for us. I highly suggest this as something to check out, i would do it again for sure if I ever went back.
