A Perfect Place to Chill and Relax


Every time we went to Samal for beach outing with my friends, we usually have our last stop in Hagimit Falls. Yes! You heard it right, Samal Island is not just famous of its white sand beaches, it is also gifted with waterfalls. Hagimit Falls is just a small waterfall in the island that has natural swimming pools and rock formations. It is suitable for those who want to have relaxing moments and quick dip to fresh water since the water is very cold. This waterfall is definitely an excellent site for camping since there are some campsites available. It is well covered with full-grown trees and different varieties of vegetation that grows along the riverbank.

The experience set by the place was really remarkable. It is not just an excellent spot for tourists but to locals as well, that is why we never missed to visit here every time we are in Samal Island.

The Hagimit falls is two kilometers away from Penaplata proper. It is accessible by car or a motorcycle. To get there you need to hike more or less 5 minutes. The local community collects P20.00 each for developments. Most of the first timers, when they got to see this place got a jaw dropping experience. Just another breath-taking spot to visit when you are spending a vacation in Samal.
