Pagsanjan Falls e Hidden Valley Springs: um passeio combinado espetacular

The trip was absolutely amazing, and my guide Carlo was very considerate and friendly. I was a solo female traveler on this tour, and I felt completely safe and comfortable at all times. After around a 2-hour drive, you arrive at a station where you’re provided with a life vest and a helmet, and your 1-hour canoe trip up the Pagsanjan River begins. You can leave all your belongings in the car and wear clothes you’re happy to get completely soaking wet (I wore my swimsuit and sports shorts, which I didn’t mind getting wet). I only took my phone in a waterproof case, as there’s a high chance your phone will get very wet otherwise. I also kept some cash in the same case. About halfway up the river, there’s a short stop for snacks, where they ask you to buy lunch for the two canoe men. Chicken and soda for both of them cost 400 pesos. If you’d like chicken and a drink for yourself too, bring another 200 pesos. If you’re happy to tip, I’d also recommend bringing around another 400 pesos for the two guys operating the final barge to the waterfall (they’re different from the canoe men). After about 1 hour on the river—which is pretty strenuous for the canoe men—you arrive at a small landing, from where you take a barge underneath the waterfall. Up until then you might have stayed almost completely dry, but after going under the waterfall you’ll be absolutely soaking wet. The way back is easy. I tipped the canoe men well at the end because the journey upstream is really hard work. By the way, I saw some kids around 7 years old in other canoes, so this trip might be suitable for children of that age—but only if they’re relatively brave and very comfortable with water splashing over their faces. :) The hot springs were great and very relaxing, and lunch was good. I was told the walk to the Hidden Falls takes at least 10 minutes each way, so I decided not to go and instead preferred to soak in the warm pools. No towel is provided, so bring your own. There are also secure lockers in the hot spring complex.

Wow. What an amazing experience!! Carlo was my guide and driver and he was super cool, personable, funny, knowledgeable, and nice. He made sure I was well taken care of, the car was comfortable, and overall it was an amazing time. This is a must do experience when visiting Manila. The falls are absolutely beautiful and the canoeing experience to get there is unique and wild. So much fun. And then the hot springs after is the perfect way to unwind after a day at the falls and is a close drive from the falls. Bring a change of clothes, some water and snacks. Bring sunblock and a towel. You can leave your stuff in the car or in a locker once u get to the location. Bring cash for the falls as you can buy drinks and food on the way up. Carlo is a great driver and a good person. The hot springs are a site to see and very relaxing and one of a kind.

My private tour to Pagsanjan Falls and Hidden Valley Springs was one of the highlights of my trip to the Philippines. The canoe ride to Pagsanjan Falls was both thrilling and scenic, surrounded by lush jungle, and the waterfall itself was truly breathtaking. Hidden Valley Springs was the perfect place to relax afterward, with peaceful hot springs set in the middle of a tropical rainforest. A special mention to my guide, Carlo, who made the experience even better. He was professional, friendly, and made everything smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. A perfect mix of adventure and relaxation—highly recommended.

Carlo was a perfect guide for this amazing day trip in particular Hidden Springs was an oasis and a delight.

I sent this to YOLO email I never thought I’d ever book a private tour and when I did I never thought I’d really be the only person on the tour. In my experience booking a small group private tour meant myself and a handful of others would be on the tour but alas the tour was just me booked in viator but hosted by Carlo from yolo. This tour was for sure a splurge for me but “when in rome”… I just couldn’t find a join in tour and after my 17 hours flight from NYC I wanted to get out of Manila proper and explore the country side and that I did with an amazing and very well worth it guide named Carlo! If you book the Pagsanjan Falls & Hidden Valley Springs: A Spectacular Combo please request Carlo. He is a world traveler with a wealth of knowledge. He is engaging, very accommodating and funny. You will have no regrets and have felt you have gotten well worth your money! The experience at the falls is exhilarating and the springs are magical! A full day of not to be missed experiences!

What an amazing experience. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful place to be with great food and hospitality. Carlos our tour guide made sure our experience was everything and more.

We had an amazing trip with our guide John and driver Kyle. They had us try some local delicacies, which was cool. The waterfall and the hidden valley springs were SO much better than expected and very beautiful. The sailing route to the waterfall made us feel alive😆 that was a bit crazy, but the guides were very good at controlling the boat. And it was also very funny if you like a bit of adrenaline. We would highly recommend this trip

Great excursion! My tour guide Hanna was knowledgeable, kind and fun! The locations Pagsanjan Falls and Hidden Valley Springs were spectacular! Even though weather did not permit us to go all the way to the end, our guides help to make this a very memorable and amazing experience!!! I highly recommend signing up for it!

I was a solo traveller on this trip. The whole trip was very well organised right from the start. I loved the falls and the exotic pools in hidden valley. The tour guide Criz made sure that I was comfortable throughout the journey. The trip ended with a lunch at Hidden Valley. The dishes werr made to my preferences and very yummy indeed. I especially enjoyed the spring rolls.

-Pagsanjan Falls is a nice waterfall with good challengers to get down to many stairs and climbing 👍🏻 -Hidden Valley is very beautiful area with many beautiful flowers and trees fine pool and fight good food - The driver who drove me shouldn't keep the driver's license.
