The Philippines is blessed with thousands of waterfalls hidden across its rainforest-covered mountains and river valleys. From the towering multi-tiered falls of Aliwagwag in Davao — one of the tallest in Southeast Asia — to the turquoise swimming holes of Kawasan Falls in Cebu and the jungle cascades of Palawan, our directory lists 199 waterfalls worth visiting.

The best time to visit most waterfalls is during or just after the rainy season from June to October when water flow is at its strongest. However some falls are best visited in the dry season when access trails are less slippery and water clarity is better for swimming. Always check local conditions before visiting remote falls.

Most waterfalls require a short hike ranging from 15 minutes to several hours. Entrance fees are typically ₱50–₱200 per person. Local guides are available at most trailheads and are recommended for unfamiliar areas. Always swim with caution — currents can be strong even in apparently calm pools.
