Tinago Falls is just one of the waterfalls found in Biliran and is the most famous of all in the province.

The falls is accessible via a 30-minute habal-habal ride from Naval. An entrance fee of Php10 per head is collected at the viewing deck. Don’t forget to bring your own water and food. TIP: The fastest way to get to Biliran is to fly to Tacloban,Leyte. Take a van (Php150-Php190 per head, one way), the trip will just take about 2 hours.

This is by far the most accessible and the easiest to get to. It takes 30 minutes of scenic motorcycle ride along a concrete highway passing by local houses and vast rice fields to get to Tinago Falls from the town proper of Naval.

Tinago Falls is gorgeous. Its cascading water falling from 30-50ft to a spacious basin is relentless and strong. Another thing that made it so stunning are the rock formations surrounding the main pool. This falls was named such because prior to developing it, it was literally tucked safely beneath the lush forest and huge rocks limiting access from the outside world. I guess beauty such as this one are never meant to be hidden forever much like the other Tinago Falls I know from Iligan.

Tinago Falls isn’t hidden as its name suggests. Maybe at some point it was, but today “tinago” is a misnomer. Of the waterfalls we’d visited that day, it’s the most developed. But not in a bad way. Thankfully, the LGU has spared the main drop from any developments. There’s a proper set of stairs to Tinago Falls and a shed has been constructed beside the bottom pools.

There were other groups of tourists when we arrived, but few actually swam in the main basin of Tinago Falls because of the strong current and huge boulders. It’s easy to get swept away. All in all, it’s one of the better-managed waterfalls in the country. Read More: https://www.taraletsanywhere.com/waterfalls-in-biliran/
