My friend and I came for lunch but did not realize that this was also a shell museum. They have a fantastic collection of seashells, all sorted out and arranged by type ... Gastropods, bivalves, chitons, nautilus, cowries, etc. Lunch on the patio was delightful. The adobo and garlic rice was yummy. Great value!

Cambugahay Falls

Reviewed By _Zsuz_123 - Cape Town, South Africa

We spent a fun couple of hours at the waterfalls. Beautiful blue water. We arrived with our scooter, there is parking for them just at the entrance to the falls, parking fee is going by donations, so you pick how much you want to pay, and those guys really watch over the scooters. The entrance fee is normally 10 php, but we got there early so no one was there, we got in for free. There are 3 Tarzan swings, different heights, 50 php for unlimited swings. They are really fun, I was scared before the first swing but you just have to go and after that it was just all fun. Then you can stand under the smaller falls to get a nice shoulder / back massage and just lounge in the water. There are some vendors there, I think they open around 9 to buy some food. We got there around 7:30/8:00 and it wasn't crowded at all, so I would suggest to go early. It's definitely worth a visit!

Great reef and plenty to see. It’s clearly signed path is in between the 2 x coco grove entrances and has motorbike parking. It’s 50/60 peso to snorkel and free to use the beach only. Great snorkelling at 0800 or later in the afternoon. Turtles are about.

La-gaan Falls

Reviewed By Ladey

I wouldn't say you come here to look at massive waterfalls but in my opinion it is better! You pay about 50peso to get in, the guide runs down the path and next thing you know you see this paradise swimming hole with hardly any people! It has a swing, natural water slide, rock jump, and little cave. Water is the perfect temperature. Glad we found this place on our search for Cambugahay falls! Guide asks for a tip at the end but is worth it.

Salagdoong Forest Reserve

Reviewed By johanesbangao

If you're going to Salagdoong beach, you'll pass here. The molave trees are refreshing to see and a bit reminiscent to that of Bohol's man-made forest.
