Having said some description with the place, our day 3 in Cebu will be at Kawasan Falls, we left Robe’s Pension House around 5 o’clock in the morning. We had our breakfast on wheels to save time and after that, we took the opportunity to sleep and rest for a while.
Along the way Kuya Dudong (our driver) shared to us that the near island seen from a far is Negros Oriental and the noticeable eminent mountain is Mount Kanlaon, the highest Peak in Visayas. We’ve stopped for a while and took some pictures.
We've continued our journey and reached the registration area in time. 10 pesos each was our entrance fee and hired a local tour guide for 150 pesos.

The clean and refreshing environment welcomes us all, the river is crystal clear, the trees are dancing in the wind and people are accommodating to us. Wow
In less than 20 minutes we’ve arrived at the baseline of Kawasan Falls. We captured photographs of the famous falls with the distinct bamboo boat on the side as well as for our group pictures.
A local there offers us to try the bamboo rafting for 300 pesos. 8 out of 11 agreed to experience the activity but before anything else we had our early lunch.
After eating we’ve tried the said activity. We’ve ride the balsa and cross the falls. As if an automatic massage caresses our upper body against the running water of the said falls. Great experience!!! We did it twice!
