Philippine Traveler releases its review of Samal Island’s top inland attraction Hagimit Falls. The said falls is considered one of the most recommended attractions during off peak travel/rainy season in the Philippines. Samal island, famous for its pocket beaches and wide array of resorts, is little known for its inland attractions including Hagimit Falls.
As summer comes to an end in the Philippines and the weather gives way to more rain and gloom, Samal Island’s beaches become less attractive to visitors. The off-peak season opens opportunities for more visitor arrivals in the island’s lesser known attractions namely Hagimit Falls, Monfort Bat Sactuary and Magongawong Falls.
Hagimit Falls being one of the most accessible, welcomes more visitors who come for the gentle rush of its waters and the unspoiled surroundings. The waterfall clusters are located in Barangay Penaplata, less than an hour’s ride from Samal Island’s main port.
Visitors of Hagimit Falls enjoy cheap entrance and cottage rental fees. There is no corkage for food and beverage and guests are free to prepare their own picnic food by the water. Cottages are available for day trips as well as overnight stays.
The said falls is also popular among local trekkers. The surrounding terrain is ideal for jungle explorations and camping; in fact, Hagimit Falls is a bucket list item for newbie outdoor enthusiasts. The waters of the waterfall pools are rich with edible flora and fauna, making it perfect for an exciting outdoor adventure.
Samal Island is known as the fastest growing resort island in the Philippines, with both beach and inland resorts raking in more income via tourism in the past decade. Samal is a cluster of islands accessible from Davao City via boat and bus (ferry). The island’s annual tourism campaign, Visit Samal, offers exclusive deals and promo packages throughout the months of April and May.
Samal Island is home to the famous Pearl Farm Beach Resort, Paradise Island Beach Park and Resort and various coral gardens that give attribute to its official name: Island Garden City of Samal.
