Tumalog Falls: A Majestic Curtain
I
didn't know Tumalog falls existed until the locals told us that it is
another one of Oslob's attractions. when you get here you will be
awestruck at how picturesque one place could be. the water from the top
comes from small springs making their way to a pristine tub of cold and
calm water. the greenery surrounding the falls adds up to its beauty.
Groups of bamboos highlight its landscape. There are tables for
rent provided by locals. You can have lunch there with your family while
enjoying the view of a wonderful natural liquid curtain.
The journey to the falls is not so easy because you get to walk for 500 meters on descending and ascending cemented and rough roads. But despite the path, the view at the end is indeed rewarding. You can get to Tumalog falls by simply hiring a multicab (120 php per head) or motorcycles (120php per head) to the mountain. Only motorcycles are allowed to drive all the way to the fall's. You can choose to pay 30php for a one way trip or have an adventurous 500 meter trek.
How did we get there? (from Dumaguete)
- Go to Sibulan Ferry Port. Fast craft leaves every hour starting at 5 am. Fee is just 62 Php going to Lilo-an port.
- when you reach Lilo-an port ride there is an air conditioned Cebu City route bus waiting. Tell the driver to drop you to Oslob whale shark watching briefing area. Bus fare is around 33 Php.
- when you reach the whale shark briefing area you can ask around for a multicab or habal-habal for hire.
*typically it is ideal to go to the falls after whale shark watching.
Summary of fees:
Multicab fee - 120 Php
Falls Entrance fee - 20 Php
------------------
140 Php
