About Kawasan Falls

When you set out to explore Kawasan Falls, be prepared to pick your jaw up off the floor once you set eyes upon the first of three magnificent waterfalls. Each tier of the falls feed into clear turquoise-coloured pools that are perfect for a refreshing swim in the peaceful jungle setting. While the first two falls are easier to reach, if you’re up for the adventure, book a canyoning trip to explore the third tier of Kawasan Falls and experience an area less frequently witnessed by tourists.
