The Lambingan waterfall, as a spur of Mount Guiting-Guiting, runs in a series of beautiful Cascades and is located northeast of the town of Magdiwang.

The natural pools are filled with clear and cool mountain water and suitable for swimming. In the green surroundings there are some ideal picnic areas as also a nearby forest, which evokes the spirit of adventure.

Lambingan Falls in Magdiwang got its name as it is a famous dating spot by the locals. A short hike from the main road will lead to a two-storey high waterfall. There are two shorter falls creating natural pools filled with clear and chilled spring water from the high mountains of Mt. Guiting-guiting. Low rocks surrounding the stream are used by locals as diving platforms. The forest is teeming with endangered trees such as dog-an, narra, and apitong as well as shrubs such as rattan.

Lambingan Falls is probably the most commonly visited waterfall by tourists on Sibuyan Island. It is right near Magdiwang town and only takes a 10-15 minutes to reach by car or motorbike from the town. We visited Lambingan Falls on the same day as Cataja Falls. You won’t need a guide for this one it is signposted and there is no trekking involved.

The falls are quite small but still very peaceful. It was a great place to hang out and chill for a while on the bamboo platform. There was a disappointing factor at Lambingan, which was the diversion pipes sticking straight out of the waterfall. I think these kinds of diversions should be done upstream if they are necessary for the local community.

There is a little cliff jump at the bottom falls, which is also a great spot to sit in the huts and have some lunch, as we did. Read More: https://www.journeyera.com/sibuyan-island-waterfalls/
