Escape to the enchanting Tumalog Falls, often described as the most mystical waterfall in Cebu. Unlike powerful plunging falls, Tumalog features a delicate, curtain-like cascade that covers an entire cliff face in moss and ferns, creating a unique 'rain shower' effect. Located just minutes from the famous Oslob whale shark watching area, this natural wonder offers a refreshing turquoise pool perfect for swimming and cooling off after a morning of adventure. The journey itself is part of the charm, often involving a thrilling motorbike ride down a steep hill surrounded by lush bamboo forests.

Real experiences from real travelers
The waterfall is absolutely stunning! It looks like something out of Avatar. The water was cold but refreshing after the whale shark swim. Highly recommend booking the combo tour to save time.
The falls are beautiful, very different from others in Japan. It was a bit crowded at 10 AM, but we still got good photos. The motorbike ride down was fun!
We booked the private tour with the whale shark add-on. Our guide was fantastic and took great photos of us at Tumalog. The water color is unreal.
Well organized. Picked up from Cebu City on time. The drive is long but comfortable van made it easy. Tumalog is a must-see if you are in Oslob.
Very nice waterfall. The walk back up is steep so take the motorbike (habal-habal) for a small fee. It's included in most tours anyway.
I've seen many waterfalls but this one is unique. The water falls like rain. Make sure to bring a waterproof case for your phone.
The waterfall is 5 stars, but the drive from Cebu City is very long (4 hours one way). Plan accordingly and maybe stay in Oslob overnight.
Did the Whale Shark + Tumalog + Sumilon tour. Exhausting day but totally worth it. Everything was taken care of perfectly.
