It was my first time, was good place, and to get there you have to walk for 30 minutes, the first waterfall was very good for relaxing ( cold water) the second one so difficult to get there but it’s good for contemplation.

Its fun to hike up to the waterfalls. There are 3 stages that you can go to and take a swim or shower. Make sure you use shoes and not sandals, it can get very slippery. A very common tour is to go to the waterfalls first and then continue to nacpan beach. You need a guide to go up to the Waterfalls, the price is not regulated. If you are not sure you might ask in a booking office in El Nido how much is the average price, The owner of Seasphere Dive Center was very helpful for me.
You MUST have a guide, which is just so locals can be employed, and the hike itself is about 25-30 minutes only to reach a marginally impressive couple of waterfalls. You can "swim" at the first one in a tiny pool there, and then continue on behind it to the second one. After you've taken your photos, you have to trek it back the same way.
Great hike! Didn't get to go to the top shower waterfall but did swim in the deep pool.
Great walk to waterfalls, the walk is just as good as the waterfall. You will walk through a number of streams ankle deep. We just wore things / Sandler's and it was fine. We had to pay a 20php gate fee and a tour guide (200php) each, although plenty of people go themselves just watch where you park. Although if you go by yourself keep aware as there are a just a couple of different paths that could lead you astray. Once you get to the falls there is a second waterfall (although you cannot swim in it) just above these falls.
Great place to visit. You have to pay 20php as entrance fee to a family living on the way. It takes 40 minutes waking in a suggestive scenario. Better go with flip flops or water shoes since you have to cross several rivers: not that deep. The waterfalls have a natural pool: right side is deep, left side is shallow.
After Nacpan, we ate lunch at the waterfalls village and followed a local guide. Someone at Nacpan told us there wasnt any water, so I was going to skip it, but while we finished lunch, a traveler had just returned and said the water was refreshing. Its a nice walk, 45 min. My daughter and I had the whole falks/pool to ourselves for 20 minutes before others came. Tadpoles, butterflies, the sounds of water. It was lovely and peaceful.
I love hiking and I love waterfalls! This is not really a must visit area because there's nothing to see there aside from trees, fish and carabao in the river and the waterfalls itself. BUT if you want to cool down, dipping in the waterfalls is really great. So refreshing! It was just an easy hike going to the top but they required us to have a guide who asked for Php 300.00 as payment for the tour afterwards. I was shocked because she didn't even talk to my foreigner friend and she let me translate everything she said because she was shy to speak in English. Glad I was able to haggle at Php 150.00.
