It was a great experience, beautiful nature and really nice people. Especially Mr. Nori who was my guide and the driver Mr. Oswald have been very nice and even picked me up at my hotel (which is not in Makati. but you have to pay for that). I did the tour alone, what was no problem at all. It is safe and Mr. Nori has a lot to explain about the Philippines history and culture. In my opinion the tour is a little bit overpriced, but that seems to be thing with all tours around. anyway it is definitely worth going.

Full description

"Shoot the Rapids" in dugout canoes and experience nature’s wonder. Drive two and a half hours south of Metro Manila through the countryside to beautiful town of Pagsanjan, Laguna. Be prepared to board a native banca (canoe) skillfully driven by two boatmen and maneuvered upstream through rocks and boulders amidst steep gorges and lush tropical vegetation. Your destination - Majestic Pagsanjan Falls. Take a swim or board a bamboo raft through the falls into a cave behind the veil of water. This is an exhilarating, spine-tingling, adrenaline-pumping, two hour boat ride from the Bumbungan River to Pagsanjan Falls whose booming water cascades down from high atop a cliff to the river 300 feet below. Your ride downstream is an exciting rush through the same rocks and boulders you passed on your way upriver.

Overall I enjoyed the experience. The drive was long but comfortable. The boat guys earned their tip! They worked hard. The waterfalls were beautiful. The boat ride was super fun. Lunch was great. Would have been more fun with other people. I was hoping to join a group but instead got a solo trip.
