Pagsanjan Falls Tour Itinerary

• Hotel or Airport Pick-up

Your adventure begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel or the airport in Metro Manila. Settle in for a scenic 2.5-hour drive south to the historic town of Pagsanjan, Laguna, passing through local towns and countryside views.

• Arrival in Pagsanjan & Canoe Ride to the Falls

Upon arrival, you’ll board a traditional wooden canoe (banca) manned by two skilled boatmen. Your journey upstream begins, gliding through lush tropical vegetation, narrow river gorges, and towering cliffs.

Don’t forget your camera—the scenery is stunning and truly unforgettable.

• Arrival at the Falls & Bamboo Raft Experience

After about an hour on the river, you’ll reach the majestic Pagsanjan Falls—a hidden gem tucked deep within the forest. Hop on a bamboo raft to get up close and even go under the waterfall and into the mystical Devil’s Cave.

Note: The falls may not be accessible during periods of high water.
This experience is not recommended for small children or pregnant women due to the physical nature of the ride.

• Downstream Adventure: “Shooting the Rapids”

Hold on tight for the thrilling ride back! Your boatmen will expertly “shoot the rapids”, steering the canoe through boulders and fast-moving water until you return to the calmer part of the river.

In dry seasons, when water levels are low, boatmen may briefly carry the canoe over shallow points—adding to the adventure.

• Lunch Break

After the river adventure, enjoy a local lunch at a nearby restaurant (meals not included in the tour price). It’s a great opportunity to relax and savor the flavors of Laguna province.

• Return to Manila

Please be advised that the return trip from Pagsanjan to Manila may take around 3 hours or more due to heavy traffic conditions. We’re setting the right expectations to ensure a smooth journey.
