Tucked away in Iligan City in Northern Mindanao region, Dodiongan Falls is a hidden gem that captivates with its unspoiled beauty and serene surroundings. Standing at around 20 meters high, this waterfall cascades into a shallow turquoise basin, inviting visitors to cool off and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.
Reaching Dodiongan Falls is an adventure in itself. From the jump-off point in Barangay Bonbonon, it's a short habal-habal (motorbike) ride followed by an easy 15 to 20-minute trek through a scenic riverside trail.
Iligan City, often dubbed the "City of Majestic Waterfalls," is home to over 20 waterfalls, and Dodiongan Falls stands out for its accessibility and tranquil charm. While Tinago and Maria Cristina Falls are the more famous stops, Dodiongan Falls offers a quieter, less-crowded alternative.
Whether you're planning a nature-focused itinerary in Northern Mindanao region or pairing it with a visit to other top attractions in Mindanao region, like Cagayan de Oro City or Camiguin Island, Dodiongan Falls adds a serene yet adventurous touch to your journey.
