Surigao City & Tinago Falls Cascade Tour

Surigao City, the gateway to the surf island of Siargao, hides lush inland scenery that most travelers rush straight past. This full-day tour pairs a city orientation with a trek to a hidden cascade tumbling through the green hills outside town, giving you a refreshing freshwater escape and a feel for everyday Surigaonon life.

You begin with the highlights of Surigao City before heading into the countryside, following forest paths and stone steps down to the falls. The reward is a cool plunge pool framed by mossy rock and dense foliage, perfect for a swim under the spray. Along the way your guide points out local flora, fishing villages and the rugged coastline that defines this corner of northeastern Mindanao.

It is an easy nature day for travelers transiting through Surigao on the way to or from the islands, or anyone who wants more than just a ferry terminal stopover. Bring a swimsuit, a sense of adventure and a camera for the cascade.
