This was a side trip for us after visiting the Enchanted River at Hinatuan, Surigao province on the island of Mindanao, Philippines. This Pacific Ocean facing province of Mindanao is home to one of the largest - if not, the Largest pulp and paper factory in the Philippines. The forests are still rather lush, but you can see Albicia falcata trees planted in many places. This tree is used for the pulp and paper factory. Tinuy-an falls is around 30 km from the City of Bislig and is accessible by a concrete road all the way to the park. When we visited in September 2019, the park was not overrun by tourists - even on a weekend (Saturday). The grounds were regularly swept of leaves and people seemed to be mindful of where the disposed of their trash. Entrance fee was 50 pesos per person and parking was 20 pesos per vehicle (we had a Toyota pick-up. An official receipt was issued by the Office of the Treasurer - so I assume this place is run by the local government (as with the Enchanted Forest). All swimmers or raft riders were required to have floatation devices and enforcement of this regulation as ensured. There was a cell phone tower nearby so I was able to post photos of this place right from the site. Really convenient and tourist friendly. There were a few benches and tables for small groups. There was not much water at the falls as there has been an unseasonal drought spell. Ordinarily there would be much more water cascading down the falls. This is a truly wonderful place.

One of the most popular destinations in Surigao del Sur. It could get very crowded on weekends and holidays. If you would like to enjoy the river and the Hinatuan complex better get here early. Better get here before 7AM so that you could rent a hut and you can enjoy the cold waters of the Enchanted River. Enchanted River is at the mouth of the sea that's why there is a mixture of fresh and salt water. You could go island hopping here also if you are tired of swimming at the river. There's a fish cage, a cave and a small mangrove forest to explore. It's worth seeing if you are in Surigao del Sur.

We went yesterday 02/02/2020, The orientation personnel told us that It was a perfect time to visit because the Laswit/Splash is showing already. The laswit is seasonal depending on the weather, the direction of the wind for the waves, etc. The waves are perfect! some are big, and at times are small, only to cause a waterfall effect on the rocks. It was very fun, we waited for the big waves to make the big splash and if you are in the water, the color of the splash from your point of view is just magnificent! I really enjoyed my experience here and I would defenitely want to come back.
