Once you are done interacting with the whales, the tour will take you to the exciting Tumalog Falls, one of the prettiest and tallest falls in Cebu.

The Tumalog falls, like other scenic falls in Cebu, is tucked away in the mountains. It will take you a considerable amount of time and numerous transfers before you can get to the falls. Traditionally, you will have to take the bus, the jeep, habal-habal before you reach the little trail where you have to walk on foot just to get to the base of the falls. But once you are there, all the effort is worth it with the beauty of the cascading water that you will behold.

Tumalong is an example of horsehair falls wherein the water appears to fall down in fine strands with constant contact with the sides of the mountain. Visually it appears like the fine hairs of a horse’s tail. It is a wonderful visual of nature that you will appreciate. The water falls into a knee-deep basin which is not suitable for swimming but enough to dip your toes in and get a cool massage from the waterfalls.

Some tips while you are travelling to these locations. Though they are in the same town, it takes at least a few hours before you can get to the provincial town of Oslob from Cebu City. If you are doing your trip Lonely Planet style, be prepared to bring a lot of cash to pay for the multiple transfers in your transportation. There is a bus in the city that leaves every hour going to Oslob. When you get to the town proper you have to take a habal-habal or a motorcycle for hire to the site of the waterfalls. The drivers have a way of knowing if you are a visitor in town so do not go beyond paying the usual fare of 50 pesos to get to the falls. The driver will drop you off at the end of a narrow road that leads to the falls. There is a 20 peso entrance fee to the falls.
