Kawa Falls: A Hidden Paradise in Cebu City

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from Cebu City and head south on the Cebu South Road (S Nacional Hwy). Continue driving for about 2 hours until you reach the town of Malabuyoc. Look for signs pointing towards Kawa Falls, which is located in Antuwanga. Turn right onto a smaller road that leads towards the falls. Be prepared for some rough roads; a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. Once you get closer, you may need to park your car and walk a short distance to the falls.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  For those using public transportation, go to the Cebu South Bus Terminal located at N. Bacalso Ave, Cebu City. Take a bus heading to Bato or Malabuyoc. The bus fare is approximately 150-200 PHP depending on your destination. Inform the bus conductor that you wish to get off at Malabuyoc. Once you arrive, you may need to hire a local tricycle for around 50-100 PHP to take you to Kawa Falls. The tricycle ride will take about 15-20 minutes.

• Motorbike Rental

  If you prefer a more adventurous option, consider renting a motorbike in Cebu City. Rental services are available for around 300-500 PHP per day. Head south on the Cebu South Road (S Nacional Hwy), following the same route as cars. Once in Malabuyoc, ask locals for directions to Kawa Falls. This option allows you to enjoy the scenic views along the way at your own pace.

• Tour Package

  Another convenient option is to book a tour package that includes transportation to Kawa Falls. Many local travel agencies in Cebu City offer packages that typically range from 1,500 to 3,000 PHP per person. These tours often include a guide, entrance fees, and sometimes meals, making it a hassle-free way to visit the falls.
