Cambugahay Falls

Cambugahay Falls

Cambugahay Falls, located in the town of Lazi on Siquijor, is one of the island’s most iconic natural attractions. Surrounded by lush greenery and known for its vivid turquoise waters, this multi-level waterfall offers a refreshing escape and plenty of adventure.

Its growing popularity can be credited to viral travel videos and celebrity visits—most notably when Filipina actress Anne Curtis attempted the now-famous “fairy walk” rope suspended just above the water. Today, the site draws travelers looking for scenic beauty, a bit of thrill, and fun photo opportunities.

What to Expect

The falls cascade into three shallow pools, ideal for swimming and relaxing. Adventurous visitors can enjoy the Tarzan swing, rent a bamboo raft to drift beneath the falls, or unwind along the shaded riverbanks. The “fairy walk” rope adds a whimsical challenge for those up for balancing across the pool.

Entry is free, with a minimal fee for parking and use of the swings. It’s a favorite stop on most Siquijor tours and a highlight of many tour packages, often combined with other top destinations around the island. If you're staying in one of the many hotels in Siquijor, Cambugahay Falls is easily accessible as part of a day trip.

How to Go

The most convenient way to reach Siquijor is by booking a flight to Dumaguete City. From the airport, a short ride takes you to Dumaguete Port, where regular ferry transfers operate to Siquijor Island.

Once you arrive, you can get around by tricycle, motorcycle, or by joining a guided tour. Booking a Siquijor tour package is a stress-free way to visit Cambugahay Falls along with other scenic spots. If you have more time, you can also include some Dumaguete tours as part of your extended itineraries.

Best Time to Go

For the best experience, visit Cambugahay Falls in the early morning when the area is less crowded and the lighting is ideal for photos. The dry season from November to May offers the most pleasant weather for outdoor activities like swimming and trekking.
