Pagsanjan Falls and Canoe Ride
Justice06RR Says: Pagsanjan Falls is truly one of the best experiences you can have in the Philippines. Take a boat ride that takes about 30mins each way (about P750 per person). Ride the bamboo raft also that takes you directly to the waterfall and behind it where there is a cave. you can...
lilhermione08 Says: Some people just went the to see the falls. But that's just half of the cake. Please ride the balsa and dare not miss the rapids. It's really like a water therapeutic massage. The water is so heavy on your body and head but inside you , you will feel so light. The experience...
StefanosS Says: Views of Laguna de Bay, on the way from Pagsanjan to Santa Cruz.
StefanosS Says: This historic town gate was built in 1878-1880. It has three Roman style arches topped by two lions, guarding the royal Spanish emblem. Along Rizal st, near the gate, some old houses survived, holding memories of the past Filipino architecture.

DarleneCMF Says: Taking the raft to the center of the falls is optional. We were initially thinking if we will do it or just stay a safe distance away. Since we were there, we decided to pay the P90 per person fee and get closer to the falls.The water was cold. It was hard to see and breath...
The only restaurant in the middle of the river: Dont miss the fresh buco juice
lilhermione08 Says: To reach this restaurant, you will have to have a river ride that would be like one hour of nature fun. What I like about this place is that it is located in the middle of the river and the food are low cost considering that it is the only restaurant in the area, not to...
Emee's Binalot: Emee's Binalot
DarleneCMF Says: It was past 12 noon when we returned from the Pagsanjan Falls. We were all hungry so we settled for the closest restaurant we could find (recommended by our boatman). The place is called Emee's Binalot. It's close to the municipal hall. The place looks dark and drab from...
DarleneCMF Says: If you are planning to drive to Pagsanjan, make your way to SLEX and take the Calamba exit. Follow the directions in the map. :) You take the highway all the way, and stop at the municipal hall at Pagsanjan. The resorts/accredited providers would be close by. You can stop at...
ino_hsb Says: There's no other way to go to Pagsanjan falls but to use one of these "bancas". They are navigated upstream by the "bangkeros". I am sure the trip alone will leave you speechless. It costs 500 pesos at that time but considering the skills of the bangkeros, I think its well...

Prepare to be hounded, but stay calm :)
DarleneCMF Says: Before going on this trip to Pagsanjan, I searched the Internet to get more information about the place. There were serveral entries about boatmen fees. Apparently it's not uncommon for tourists to get cheated, having to pay more fees and without choice... So we were wary...
Boatmen charge exorbitant tips
lilhermione08 Says: Just where will you see a boat rental that costs 660 only per head then after the boat ride the boatmen will ask for a Php 2000 tip per head - oh my, it's even higher than the boat rental. Besides, it's just a tip therefore it should be lower that the actual expense for the...
asianbelle Says: A man along the highway introduced himself as an accredited tourist officer of Pagsanjan and showed us his ID, credentials. He brought us to the guesthouse and introduced us to a boat operator. The latter briefed us on the tour fees, amenities, travel time, etc. In all, we...
Extra clothes so you can get wet or miss the fun
lilhermione08 Says: A plastic container so as your things won't get wet should you decide to shoot the rapids Something rugged as the water can be really playful. Oh my, I even saw a tourist wearing stilleto (pointed heels) - that must have been a nightmare given the bumpy boat ride and...
DarleneCMF Says: Change of clothes because you will get wet. Waterproof disposable cameras/or waterproof bags to protect your digicam when shooting the rapids.
lilhermione08 Says: What people normally do when they reach the place is to ride a boat to bring them to the falls and after reaching the falls and having the exciting river ride they head off home. That's fine. That's the normal case. In my case, I did something different. After getting off...
udaykk09 Says: Well, this is my first time in Manila, and I have been advised by fellow colleagues who had been to Manila before that I should go to Pagsanjan to see the waterfalls. Today I understood why.An amazing ride through a river which is split between mountains of about 300 feet...

lilhermione08 Says: The serenity of the river and the eerie silence of the jungle...the next minute, the cool rush of the water and the deafening sways of the trees...then the relaxing ride again...alternating with the water currents.... finally, the sweet falls cascading down and embracing the...
