Embark on an unforgettable adventure to Pamuayan Falls, a stunning oasis nestled in the lush landscapes of Palawan. The journey begins with a scenic hike that lasts just over an hour from the village center, offering breathtaking views along the way. As you approach the falls, you'll traverse pristine jungle paths and cross charming stepping stones while following the river's gentle flow. This hidden gem is perfect for nature lovers seeking tranquility away from city life.
Fun experience at this falls, First you need to register at their head center. The staff doesn't guide you so you need to do a 15 min hike by yourself. The trail is quite the adventure, crossing small rivers, climbing rocks and walk a path of man-made stairs. The falls is about 30 feet or more in height, not sure about the exact depth length of the water. Leeches can be found according to their signs and the locals. The water is slightly foggy with a mix of brown sand and mossy rocks. Overall I recommend going to this place, 8/10

A truly beautiful waterfall. However, in August 2025 the road leading to it was under construction, so the way there was quite rough. We managed it on a motorbike, but it wasn’t easy — for inexperienced drivers I would recommend taking a tuk-tuk or simply walking. From the spot where Google Maps directed us, it took about 30 minutes on foot. The path is well maintained, and they really take good care of the area. You walk through the forest along a trail, so I would recommend wearing sturdy shoes, though if you’re careful you can also manage in flip-flops. The waterfall itself was really nice, and you can swim there, which felt like a great reward. There is a voluntary entrance fee; I gave 150 pesos. Considering how well the place is maintained, I think it’s money well deserved. The way back is along the same path.

I walked from Port Barton which was just over 1 hour and very hot but perfect for me. I gave a donation, the amount is up to you. There was no pressure. The last 15 minutes to the falls were super nice and then the falls were perfect. Not huge, not impressive but the cool water was a delight. I was there at about 9:30 and there were not many people. I would recommend it for a refreshing swim if you have time during your visit to Port Barton.

There is a lady called Rose at the first shop that sells cold drinks and beer. She is a guide as well and escorted me to the Falls. Rocky pathway, and you go through water streams so plan accordingly. I went bare feet but little rocks quite sensitive. About 20 minutes slow walk, then a very refreshing swim. You can swim to right under the waterfall and have a water massage. Donation box on entrance to pathway. 50 to 100 is the norm.

The walk to the waterfalls is an incredible experience, first, you’ll need to arrange transportation to the waterfalls area. From there, it’s about 15 minute walk through the forest and small streams. It’s an unforgettable adventure! At the end, you can swim right under the waterfall itself. The whole trip takes maximum 2 hours - getting there, walking , swimming, and enjoying the breathtaking views. Make sure to bring special water shoe, as you will need them to cross the streams and navigate the rocky area around the waterfall, don’t forget water and a towel too. Thai activity is free but accept donation - 50PHP will do

When we arrived at local started walking with us. When we registered we put in a donation. Got to the falls and the local told us no swimming. When we left the local then asked for payment as he guided us. The falls were nice but that did put a little sour taste on them.
Raylene P — Google review
It's about a 15-minute hike to the falls from the main road, although people do this in sandals and even flip flops, I wouldn't recommend it, wear proper shoes and maybe even pick up a hiking stick from the side of the road, there's plenty of bamboo around.
Wesley S — Google review
Awesome little spot! A short pretty hike into an amazing spot with decent sized waterfall. Magical spot. Great place for a cool swim. Bring some food for a couple of starving little dogs too if you can. They were so super sweet but were absolute skin and bones and starving 😥 Especially couple just before the turn off and stream crossing to start of the hike.

Bigaho Falls, located in Barangay Bigaho, Port Barton, is a hidden gem in San Vincente. It's a small waterfall that offers a refreshing dip after a leisurely 15-minute walk from the beautiful Bigaho Beach. The surrounding lush rainforests provide shade and the sound of birds accompanies you on your trek. Visitors have described it as an enchanting place to visit and highly recommend it for its non-touristy charm.
A really wonderful waterfall with beautiful adjacent village and the 10-minute walking path to the waterfall itself. It’s really well maintained. You need to donate if but it’s well worth it as people here obviously take a really good care of the place. You can get there by tuktuk or motorbike but don’t go when it’s rainy and the dirt road gets really muddy.
Adam S — Google review
A lovely little waterfall tucked away in the jungle! The surroundings are beautiful, and the short walk to the falls is pleasant and well-maintained. The entrance fee (40 pesos) is totally fair since the locals provide nice amenities and keep the path in good condition. Getting here from Port Barton is still a bit tricky—the road is mostly unpaved, and I wouldn’t recommend using a scooter in the rainy season. The main pool under the waterfall can get crowded, but there are plenty of smaller pools downstream where you can relax in peace. Definitely worth a visit!
André M — Google review
Really beautiful and calm place! Much prettier than that tourist trap waterfall. We were here only ones. Path to waterfall was easy to go even with kids. Entrance fee was cheap.

A good experience here at this waterfall. About 10 or less kilometers away from Port Barton beach. Firstly you need to do a small hike of trail to get to the main area. The falls is slightly tight and can be crowded, it's common to see alot of locals and foreigners swimming here. Not sure about the depth of the water, mostly because the water can be foggy because of the mix of brown sand. The "resort" also comes with a comfort room and a changing room which is a huge thumbs up for me. Overall I recommend trying this place, and also try the other falls which is Pamuayan falls, (check my profile) which is also at Port Barton, San Vicente. 8/10

A little bit far from poblacion San Vicente. You have to walk around 5-10 mins from the parking lot to the falls. It was a bit hard but it was worth it since the falls were beautiful. You can also swim there and there is a changing room near the parking area.

We loved it here🩵 It’s a short walk from the car park and easy to find😃 Very beautiful 😍 Small entry fee 💵 We drove here from Port Barton, you don’t need to do the 2 hour route that google maps says, we went to Pamuayan Falls and followed the road from there. Took about 25 minutes. Just ask the locals if you aren’t sure!
Emilie P — Google review
A very cold respite from the hot days among the other travels. It is a short hike from the main road. The waterfall is easy to get to, well-marked, and easy footing up the steps. We took this trip from an Island hopping tour, but if you want to see this as a side-stop on the main road, that is easy also.

Nice little beach of the beaten path. There’s some monkeys and pigs there roaming around that are funny. It’s a bit strange you have to pay an entry fee to the beach… a public beach but it’s only 50pp. If you want to walk there form port Barton be prepared to walk for about hour to an hour 30 and it’s very hilly and rough terrain but with all that the scenery is beautiful. ALSO BE CAREFUL OF THE JELLY FISH!

Pretty little beach with limited facilities and they charge 50pesos per person to enter. A nice little place to hangout all day and go swimming. If you're sneaky and adventurous, you could hike along the beach to get to White Beach..

50 peso (cash) charge to enter, beers and water to buy. 45/50 mins walk (steep hills) from Port Barton- but can get tuktuk. Don’t drive there unless a confident driver as the roads are steep and rocky (and muddy after rain). Gorgeous beach, but water is not deep because loads of rocks. Worth the walk/drive!
Grace M — Google review
Heaven on earth!! So beautiful with all those palm trees. Seems like a farm with pigs, chicken, dogs, cats, crabs and much more who live together in peace. The locals ask for 50 pesos entrance fee but that‘s totally legit as they clean the whole area every day! Can‘t understand why there are so many people complaining about this..

Very nice beach. Not crowded. Just a relaxing vibe. You can go here with motorbike but the way is not paved. Kinda hard especially if it rains. So muddy. Some people we met came here using kayak from Port Barton. You can choose which pain you prefer but it is all worth it.

This beach is stunning and so relaxed 🏝️ You have to pay 50 pesos per person to enter. The road to the beach itself is very bad, I wouldn’t recommend driving yourself. Also make sure if you are getting a tuk tuk to state that you want to be dropped directly to the beach, as our driver abandoned us (luckily it was only a 10 min walk), however when we asked for a tuk tuk home, our new driver dropped us directly to town after stating that we were only going with him if he took us to town.

Scenic spot
Twin Reef, situated in San Vicente, is a stunning destination renowned for its magnificent underwater scenery and rich marine biodiversity. This hidden treasure allows visitors to explore two spectacular coral reefs teeming with a variety of fish and other sea creatures. The clear waters make it ideal for snorkeling and diving, providing adventurers with an opportunity to closely observe the colorful corals and unique aquatic life.
Highly recommend doing the 5 island hop from Port Barton beach, cost is 1500 php which includes an amazing lunch on one of the islands. The boats leave at 9am and come back at 4pm.

Very very crowded! People do not respect the coral at all! Even the local people don't respect it, not just tourists. You can see it was absolutely astonishing a while ago, now most of it is sadly dead 😢

First time snorkeling. So amazing, so many nice corals and fish. I enjoyed it. Sad I don't have underwater camera.

This was the highlight of our island hopping tour, since the coral was some of the most magnificent I have ever seen! Truly like an underwater jungle. It has no significant fish life, and the water goes from murky to clear, but certainly a spot worth stopping at.
Norm Y — Google review
Amazing place to visit, absolutely gorgeous and healthy reef. This was our 5th stop of our tour. Please be sure to either be a good enough swimmer or wear a life jacket so that you do not step on the reef because there are plenty of spots one can reach the coral.

This was my first time seeing huge corals, corals are full of life, i would love to come back here again someday.
Edwin T — Google review
Google maps location is accurate, in case you want to kayak here. Ask some boat to tie your kayak (you need to ask for a rope in the kayak rental shop) or tie it to the boey (a big white box floating in the right side of the Reef). This is a pretty big area of corals, very diverse, beautiful, plenty of fish. It's a healthy one, it doesn't look damaged at all. This reef is way more beautiful than the Fantastic Reef, so if you are kayaking I don't think it's worth going the the Fantastic one unless you want to rest on the beach afterwards. I'd say is one of the best I've snorkeled so far in my trip around Panglao-Coron-El Nido. Wasn't expecting such a beauty.

The menu also includes focaccia sandwiches, bruschetta, and power breakfasts. Visitors can expect affordable prices ranging from PHP 150 to 250 per dish.
Awesome place. Well designed, the perfect vibes and great music. Besides that, the menu is amazing, the staff are kind and the food...ohhhh the FOOD! Huge dishes with really great prices. Thank you for that spot, really good management👌🏽. Definitely 5 stars ⭐️ place. We ate there twice, first time we didn’t even realize the sizes of the dishes (Huge Pizza 🍕), second time we ate a delicious breakfast ! Big Love from Israel!!!

Prices are fair - paid about $11 for a calzone and salad and I’m saving part of the calzone for dinner tonight! They serve by the slice but you can’t choose the toppings and the one they had today had eggplant and onion... I have gotten it if it was basic cheese. Only complaints are: 1. I wish they had meat and the dough in both the pizza and 2. calzone were doughy (not cooked enough)- don’t be afraid to let the crust or dough char/brown a bit!! That’s what’s supposed to happen :) and it’s amazing. Portions for the salad was amazing. It’s so hard getting a decent salad in Asia but they’ve got it down!! Would definitely recommend a visit here.

We Visited here on 3 occasions whilst we were in Port Barton, this place serves delicious food. The pizza is unbelievable and is made with super fresh ingredients (easily one of the best pizza's you'll have whilst travelling South East Asia) The salads are super tasty and the pasta is full of flavour (get the fresh pasta) This place will not disappoint
Thomas C — Google review
The food here is really good and It's nice to see some vegetarian options (in fact, all of them are). However, it is quite pricey and my girlfriend got her food a good 10 minutes before I got mine. Also, I find it to be a real shame that the pizzas only come in size XXL. I get that It's their 'thing', but seing almost every single company leaving a substantial amount of their pizza behind feels like an unecessairy waste. Despite this, our food was real good and definetly deserves a solid 4/5
Max — Google review
The largest pizza I have ever seen! Enough for 2-3 people. You can completely configure the pizza according your own wishes. Various toppings have different prizes. The pizza has a very thin crust and is really delicious. I would recommend to go with a vegetarian option or even to try the vegan version!
Mathias J — Google review
Interesting place serving a mixture of pizzas, pastas and salads. Pizza is obviously their main seller. They come in ginormous portion and the price reflects a pizza feeds two people. I was not blown away by the texture of the base as it was bit soggy and I do miss my meat on a pizza but having to pay normal price for a vegetarian pizza. Generally missing the herbs like oregano good marinara sauce you expect in a good pizza. Salads are good though and the parmesan portion is generous.
Robby R — Google review
Great vegetarian and vegan options. Everything is home made. Pizza is freshly cooked on the spot in a real pizza oven! It's one of the only places in town with freshly brewed coffee and real salads. They have healthy options for breakfast as well. Must try the vegan tiramisu.

Over-priced and bland. Vegetarian pizzas with very little flavour, some herbs and a tomato base with a bit of zing would improve things. Okay if you're stuck but really not worth the high reviews given here.

Gacayan Restaurant is a popular dining spot in Port Barton, Palawan, known for its affordable and delicious food. It has received positive reviews from both locals and tourists. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including Philippine, Asian, and vegetarian-friendly options. Located about 4 km away from Port Barton, the journey to Gacayan Restaurant provides scenic views of the bay but requires careful navigation due to the rough road through the jungle.
Nice Filipino food that's not too expensive and very tasty. We got chicken with vegetables that was decent, and the lumpia (spring rolls) were good too. Had a chicken sandwich the next day and that was basic bit tasty as well.

Very slow service!!! We waited for about 45min!!!! We ordered DriedSiLog (dried fish, egg, and garlic rice) and Vegetable Burger. The dried fish in the silog actually had big portion, 3 pieces of dried fish (bisugo). Tasted nice but a bit salty. They could have placed it first on a bowl with water before frying to lessen the saltiness. The Vegetable Burger tasted good. Bun was a bit too soft but we liked it. Total of 235 pesos. 145 for the silog and 90 for the burger.

It's fine if you want a quick meal. Nothing extraordinary or good. The dishes are arranged uncharitably and the ingredients taste more like MSG than natural ingredients. The prices are cheap, which is reflected in the quality. Breakfast was okay but the rice dish was not particularly tasty. A recommendation, there is definitely not from my side. There are better things to enjoy.

A lot of different choices. Additional 2-3 soups and 3 - 4 dishes every day ready to eat. Great vegetable curry, fish soup, bean soup, pumpkin & crab in coconut and massive pancake. Prices are really fair. Service was slow and one of them was very grumpy. If you are hungry eat whatever is on display !

We ordered two burger 1. Chicken 1. Pork with fries and “chicken strips” Let’s start with the burger, they both had 3 pieces of bread excessive and 2 patties that tasted like spam that was put in a bear batter and then called chicken and pork. It was not good at all. The chicken strips and you can see were more like strings, they were ok, but for 85pesos I think it could be much better. The waitress was either having a really bad day or she just hates her job and tourists. All together I wouldn’t go back. Sorry, but places like this either need to be really cheap or actually kind of good...this was neither. Sorry for the bad review, but you need to be better.

Took a slight while for the food to arrive but not too long. The chicken adobo was not bad and very reasonably priced so okay for a quick lunch. However, my girlfriend had a pizza and it is probably the worst pizza we've ever had! But if you avoid the pizza and stick to Filipino food then it is an okay cheap restaurant for some food.

The best restaurant that offers the most affordable Filipino food! Price were very reasonable, staff are friendly and helpful. Accepts custom order like tomato and onion omelette with cheese. The accommodation was worthy of the money too, perfect location, not noisy and has a balcony where you can enjoy the fresh air at night and have a view of the elementary school across. Also, nice dogs! Doesn't beg for food and just stay under the tables.

With bamboo accents and coconut shell embellishments adorning the walls, it offers an inviting atmosphere where guests can even opt for floor seating on cozy cushions in the back. The menu is a delightful mix of local favorites and international dishes, all reasonably priced.
The place has a lovely atmosphere with artsy and stylish decorations. The food is diverse, we went there a few times and each time we were satisfied. The staff are friendly and attentive. They have fresh fruits and you can tell they always use good fresh products for the food. They also have a few hammocks where you can chill. Thank you, definitely recommend!

We had a great meal at Kusinero del Barrio in Port Barton. The corn soup was smooth and naturally sweet, while the lomi was hearty, flavorful, and full of fresh ingredients. The highlight was the adobo chicken with pineapple — tender meat in a perfectly balanced sweet-savory sauce with a tropical twist. Cozy place, friendly service, and truly tasty Filipino food!

On one hand, an extremely beautiful and nicely decorated place with quite a surprising choice of vegan options. On the other hand, I didn’t like the food much. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. The sauce tasted too generic, the vegetables in the dish turned out to be only potatoes, and the rice was unevenly overcooked and dry.

An incredibly authentic and good restaurant. With much love the food is prepared here and the friendliness of the staff is overwhelming! Rarely in the Philippines get such a good meal, the ingredients are fresh and the preparation sensationally good. Was here several times for breakfast as well as dinner. Always excellent taste. The prices are more than good for Port Barton. Probably one of the cheapest restaurants in this area. Didn’t pay more than 300peso for a dish and tea. What I definitely recommend is anything with fish! Simply outstanding. Otherwise, the cheese garlic baguette stands out as well as the pancakes and the fresh mangos. A big thank you goes out to the owners who are so friendly and accommodating and advise you on all your needs! Will miss this place as soon as I have to leave Port Barton.

We walked in and the whole place was so real with a wonderful atmosphere that made you think 'oh yes!'. Food was a great taste medley and well executed. The tuna tagaliog sauce was rich and delicious. We made one small mistake in forgetting ask for the tuna red in the middle. Filipino standard is cooked all through which loses flavour - our mistake not theirs ! The service is fabulous and looks like a happy family. Saw them all from grandparents to infant grandchildren. The menu, our bill and lots of photos attached. Very highly recommended. Loved the place!!

The name itself means 'good' in Tagalog, and this establishment truly embodies that spirit by promoting eco-friendly practices. With an inviting atmosphere adorned with informative posters on ocean conservation, Mabuti serves up delicious vegetarian and vegan meals made without artificial additives.
My favourite place I've eaten at in the Philippines so far!!! Didn't try the coffee but will definitely be back to taste. Menu is small but so many tempting options. Really relaxed vibe with friendly staff. Big area out the back we didnt even realise was there and a top porch with a small bar area, lots of comfy seating and a hammock. They offer books and games too. We had the creamy broccoli pasta and thr mozarella panini and shared both, were were contently full afterwards.

Very nice hostel! The staff, especially Jason, were very helpful and kind. The beds are very comfortable. It’s not that bad that its 18 bed rooms. Its clean too! The food is also nice.

Gorgeous service, even in the rain Lan ran to the neighbours to get me chillies. Antonio in the kitchen delivers exceptional food and baby Jay delivers them with a smile. Every time I visit port Barton I only ever want to stay here 🥰

The place has potential, but several things don’t justify the price. There was never any hot water during my stay, and the music stayed quite loud even after 11 p.m., which made it hard to rest. I canceled one night but they refused to refund the remaining one, which was disappointing. Motorbike rentals are also way too expensive compared to other places nearby. On the bright side, the red curry was really good.👍

What an amazing Location to enjoy drinks, and wonderful food. Rico, and all the staff from the bar were perfect. The atmosphere is lovely to enjoy the evening in Port Barton. Come !! Free Shot !!
