WARNING: We got on a habal-habal accident on our way to Tinuy-an Falls. Habal-habal drivers will offer their services upon your arrival in Mangagoy. Please rent a van instead. The van option may be expensive, but safer. The road to Tinuy-an Falls is hilly and not paved, in short, dangerous to take a habal-habal.

  3. Re: Warning - You know, I never trusted those habal-habal drivers for 1 second. It's just good that our group didn't experience any serious injury. Kring's temporary amnesia was scary though.

  4. Yup, scary and she still hasn't fully recovered from the accident yet. Hope she'll be better before the year ends.

  8. Hi! We didn't rent a van so I don't have a number. However, this is the number of the Tinuyan Falls Management, maybe they can recommend a van for rent - +63939.9399441. Good Luck!

  9. Hi, you think it's possible to tour Hinautan Falls, Enchanted River and Bucas Grande Island in 4 days? What's the best route if coming from Butuan?

  10. Hi! it will be difficult and you won't be able to savor each place if you are always on the run to catch the bus to go somewhere. We took the route Manila-Butuan- Manila. I think the better route is Manila-Surigao-Butuan-Manila or the other way around. At the time we made this trip, not much has been written about the place so we took Butuan round trip tickets. Good luck & enjoy!
