Dau Falls, Samboan Cebu Sept 2015



After our Aguinid adventure, we headed straight to Dau Falls.
There are a lot of waterfalls in Samboan actually, but due to time constraints we only got to see 2 ~oh well maybe next time!




How To Get Here:
1. From South Bus Terminal , ride a bus going to Bato via Barili or Samboan and tell the conductor to drop you off at the stop near Dau Falls. (travel time would be around 5 hours)
-sorry, not sure about the bus fee, we only took the habal-habal from Aguinid to come here :)

2. Then take the habal-habal to the entryway of Dau (10-15 minutes)

Entrance fee is P30 for foreigners and
P20 for locals




There are no intense rock climbing here like in Aguinid =P
Just a beautiful long pathway of about 30 minutes... but in our case, it took 40 lol =P




"baby" falls of Dau lol




Once you get to the top, you'll have a beautiful view of the pathway down.







All to ourselves! nyahaha



Such a refreshing dip after a looooong walk!




so serene and otherworldly <3
felt like there were fairies and nymphs around me haha =D

Aguinid Falls, Samboan Cebu Sept 2015


Right after our stay in Moalboal, we went straight to the town of Samboan to chase some waterfalls! ;)

HOW TO GET HERE:
1. From Moalboal, we rode a bus going to Samboan (P140, one way)
-travel time was an hour and 30 minutes
2. Tell the conductor to drop you off at Aguinid Falls
-the path going to Aguinid is just by the highway so it's very convenient
3. You will see a signage for Aguinid; just walk straight and you'll see the main entrance to the falls (pic above)

There's an entrance fee of P20 (Filipinos) and P40 (Foreigners)
A tip for the tour guide would be up to you 
~ps: pls don't be stingy lol :) 



What amazes me about Aguinid is that it contains 7 levels/tiers of  waterfalls.
So be prepared to do some rock climbing, hiking and trekking going to the top!




I can't remember well but I think it took us an hour to reach level 5. (The guide said level 6 & 7 are a bit dangerous to climb)
It really depends on how fast you walk/climb and how long you spend your time taking photos on each level lol




I highly recommend you come early though. The place is getting popular among tourists and it's not a good sight to see other people photobombing your beautiful pics with mother nature =P
In our case, we arrived at 8am on a weekday and we were the first ones to arrive! lucky us <3




Also, bring some waterproof cases for your gadgets or better yet, bring a waterproof camera so you could easily take some snaps! 
And don't rely too much on the guide with your photos.
In our experience, I gave my camera and phone to the guide so she could easily take our pics...
 but to my dismay, a lot were blurred and some were zoomed too much! =/
Ugh never again (!) so yea, just remember I warned you...




I think climbing this huge rock was the biggest challenge we had!



But all is well once you reach the top!



Taken at the 3rd level
Here's a video of the falls <3






wuhoo natural shower!






Our jacuzzi is better than yours lol =P



Finally, level 5!
Soooooo beautiful! and it's all to ourselves! nyahaha



 video of level 5 <3



even at the very end, you still need to do a lil bit of climbing lol



happy couple <3



One of the best falls ever!
