actual falls you traverse down some old but strong stone
stairs, just keep going towards the gurgling sound of water
that is the Bolinao Falls.
The pristine clear blue green water of the falls’ basin
presented a very nice opportunity for us to freshen up a bit
and get rid of some of the sweat and dust.
Hundreds
of the more
adventurous
visitors actually
jump from the
top of the twenty
plus foot falls.
The water is shallow
around the perimeter
but gets quite deep
quickly as you start to
meander towards its
center. Hundreds of
the more adventurous

twenty plus foot falls;
Richelle Galvan who
was photographing the
falls for the magazine
was fortunate enough to see and photograph some jumpers
when we went there, and was able to capture these
excitement seeking individuals as they headed to the water
twenty feet below. Since the water runoff is pretty moderate,
there is hardly any current. Bolinao Falls’ basin is quite huge,
spanning around twenty-two meters at its widest point.
After leaving the falls, the next stop on your itinerary which is
a must stop is lunch at the Sungayan Grill, Bolinaos’ famous
floating restaurant, for a meal to remember. Everything
