点评:As mentioned in one of my reviews for Oslob Whale Shark watching experience by Island Trek Tours, as an add-on we included Tumalog falls in our itinerary which is also just closed by only 5 mins drive away from beach port. Getting there you need a car or motorbike because its very uphill meaning literally up in the mountains. So after around 5 mins driving uphill we arrived at the main entrance with motorbikes waiting. To get there we each must take 1 motorbike and it takes maybe 3 to 5 mins to get to the base of the falls which is another uphill. The road are paved and safe so its pretty catered to the safety of tourists and visitors. Entrance to the waterfalls is 200 PHP and motorbike costs 50 PHP. Tumalog falls is famous for its cascading waterfalls from a rugged cliff dropping into a pool of Turqoise Blue waters, scenic landscapes, stunning sceneries and the famous free Water Spa performed by its resident fishes - I could see some Tilapia and Gopis to name a few. Locally its also called "Toslob falls" or "Mag-ambak falls" and its inside a forest up on top of Oslob mountains.
Tumalog falls is a place of natural beauty, peace, nature and serenity. If you’re looking for a calming and relaxing experience then this is the place to be. For avid photographers and nature enthusiasts this is also another great place to take those picturesque shots and enjoy this magical waterfalls and the lush, lovely nature surrounding it. What’s more this is an added unique and wonderful activity after Diving with the whale sharks because of so much uniqueness and difference between the two. Our guide Ate Amalia, walked us through the Falls and carried our things, she also served as our devoted Photographers (Thank you so much Ate!!!). I loved its unique entrance saying Welcome to Tumalog falls on 2 Huge Wooden pillars. From where out motorbike stopped we could already see the mighty falls and hear its falling water sounds. Its not a long walk compared to other falls like the one in Laos where we visited last - Kuang Si falls. The falls is well suited for both tourists and hikers because its designed to keep you safe with a paved pathway and stairs, metal railings to support you and guided paths with benches along the way. You are also allowed to swim in the Torqoise Blue shallow waters of the falls but please wear a Water Shoe to protect you from slipping. The first and lowest part of the waterpool system is the shallow waters where you could get a free Water Spa provided by its resident fishes - I could see White tilapias and Gopis. While having your spa you could see the Falls to your left so what an amazing and relaxing experience it is. Next there is a natural rock platform where could you stand in front of the falls and take one of the most fantastic shot of your lifetime!! Surrounded by lush nature of Tropical trees and plants and moss covered limestone rocks with the Falls in between and having your free fish space for just 200 PHP nothing could get better than this!!!
To get near the falls itself, there is a paved pathway on your left side which is pretty safe and convenient. On your left are limestone rocks and on your right are the streaming, gentle Torqoise blue waters of the falls. The walk is uphill you will get onto a high platform with wooden barricades for your safety. Along the way there are many beauty and IG worthy spots to take your most memorable and picturesque photos and videos. And as you go near the falls and go higher the spots are even quite unique and scenic!!! We took a couple of lovely photos and videos with some help from Ate Amalia which we will definitely cherish and treasure forever. Since we went on rainy season the waters are full, abundant, strong and crystal clear Turqoise blue. Standing 100 m high the waters of Tumalog falls drop like a cascading curtain and layers in Harmony and Symphony against the limestone rock cliff formation. The waters are not too cold compared to other falls and the pools are shallow (just waist deep) but rocky and slippery so be careful when wading through the rocks and pool. The sound is not as loud as I expected and its just the perfect roaring gentle sound. Its music to our ears in short. If you go in Summer, the waters will be lesser so the perfect shot is really durign the Rainy season. There are many stand alone rock formations below the cascading waters of the main pool and a small cave where you could wade, walk and take your lovely photos and videos. Be careful because its wet and slippery out here so extra precaution but the views are amazing!!!! This is the best spot to take your memorable and astonishing photos and video below the cascading waters of the pools. We even saw a Rainbow against the backdrop of the mystical waters of the pool.
After spending some relaxing time and marvelling at the magical beauty of Tumalog falls main falls we decided to go back and along the pathway you would see the cascading waters downhill. The 2nd layer is quite rocky and waters flow strong and very shallow so its not suitable for swimming. And finally the last spot if the Fish spa pool where as mentioned earlier we had our free spa from the lovely resident fishes of the pool.
After more than an hour enjoying and relaxing at Tumalog falls its time to go back to the city. There is a toilet/changing area right after the entrance sign. The facility is not that modern but we could work with it. We changed our wet bathing suits here back to our casual dry clothes. Then we took another motorbike ride back to the main road which is even steeper so beware and extra cautious if your have heavy bags with you just like me. Ate Amalia bid us farewell upon arriving at our Sedan back to Cebu city and it was one of the best and happiest waterfall experience we had because of Ate Amalia and Island Trek tours. Together she and Kuya Jonathan organized, managed, guided, and took care of us in both Oslob Whale Watching and Tumalog Falls experience!!! And not to mention those Fantastic and Beautiful photos and videos she did which will be with our memories in hearts and minds forever!!! See you soon Tumalog Falls what a lovely and magical surprise you are!!! Thank you very much!!! Daghang Salamat!!! :=)
翻译:正如我在 Island Trek Tours 的奥斯洛布鲸鲨观赏体验评论中提到的那样,作为附加项目,我们将 Tumalog 瀑布加入了我们的行程,该瀑布也刚刚关闭,距离海滩港口仅 5 分钟车程。到达那里您需要汽车或摩托车,因为路程非常上坡,也就是说是在山上。因此,在大约 5 分钟的上坡行驶后,我们到达了正门,摩托车已等候在那里。要到达那里,我们每人必须乘坐一辆摩托车,大约需要 3 到 5 分钟才能到达瀑布底部,这又是一段上坡路。道路是铺好的,很安全,因此非常注重游客和访客的安全。瀑布门票 200 菲律宾比索,摩托车 50 菲律宾比索。图马洛格瀑布以其从崎岖悬崖倾泻而下的瀑布而闻名,瀑布直泻而下,落入碧绿的海水中,景色优美,景色壮丽,还有当地鱼类——比如罗非鱼和牧牛鱼——的著名免费水疗。当地人也称之为“托斯洛布瀑布”或“马格安巴克瀑布”,它位于奥斯洛布山顶的一片森林中。
图马洛格瀑布自然风光秀丽,宁静祥和,充满自然气息。如果您正在寻找一种平静放松的体验,那么这里就是您的理想之选。对于摄影爱好者和自然爱好者来说,这里也是拍摄风景如画的照片、欣赏神奇瀑布和周围郁郁葱葱、美丽的自然风光的绝佳去处。更重要的是,与鲸鲨一起潜水,这将成为继与鲸鲨一起潜水之后一项独特而精彩的活动,因为两者之间有着如此多的独特之处和差异。我们的导游 Ate Amalia 带我们穿过瀑布并帮我们拿行李,她还是我们忠实的摄影师(非常感谢 Ate!!!)。我喜欢它独特的入口,两根巨大的木柱上写着“欢迎来到图马洛格瀑布”。从我们的摩托车停下的地方,我们已经可以看到雄伟的瀑布并听到落水的声音。与我们上次参观的老挝瀑布—— Kuang Si 瀑布相比,这段路程并不长。这个瀑布非常适合游客和徒步旅行者,因为它的设计旨在确保您的安全,有铺砌的道路和楼梯、支撑您的金属栏杆以及沿途带长椅的导游路径。您还可以在瀑布的绿松石蓝色浅水中游泳,但请穿上水鞋以防滑倒。水池系统的第一部分也是最低的部分是浅水区,在那里您可以享受由当地鱼类提供的免费水疗——我可以看到白罗非鱼和牧牛鱼。泡温泉的时候,左边的瀑布映入眼帘,真是一次令人惊叹又放松的体验。旁边有一个天然的岩石平台,您可以站在瀑布前,拍下一生中最美的照片之一!!周围环绕着郁郁葱葱的热带树木和植物,以及长满青苔的石灰岩,瀑布就在中间,而且只需200菲律宾比索就可以免费钓鱼,没有什么比这更棒的了!!!
要靠近瀑布,左侧有一条铺好的小路,非常安全便捷。左侧是石灰岩,右侧是潺潺流淌、碧绿柔和的瀑布水流。沿着上坡路走,您会登上一个高高的平台,平台上有木制路障,以确保您的安全。沿途有许多美景,值得在Instagram上分享,拍摄出最难忘、最美的照片和视频。靠近瀑布,爬到更高的地方,景色更是独一无二,美不胜收!!!在 Ate Amalia 的帮助下,我们拍了一些可爱的照片和视频,我们会永远珍惜它们。因为我们去的时候是雨季,所以水量充足、水流湍急、清澈见底,呈现出碧绿的蓝色。图马洛格瀑布高 100 米,水流如层叠的帘幕,与石灰岩峭壁形成和谐交响的景象。与其他瀑布相比,这里的水温不算太冷,水潭很浅(仅齐腰深),但多岩石且湿滑,所以在岩石和水潭中涉水时要小心。水声没有我想象的那么大,只是完美的咆哮和轻柔的声音。简而言之,这在我们听来就像音乐。如果你在夏天去,水位会小一些,所以雨季是拍摄完美照片的最佳时间。主水潭的瀑布下方有许多独立的岩层,还有一个小洞穴,你可以在那里涉水、散步并拍摄可爱的照片和视频。这里湿滑,所以要格外小心,但景色真的美极了!!!这里是拍摄瀑布水潭下令人难忘的精彩照片和视频的最佳地点。我们甚至在神秘的瀑布水景背景下看到了彩虹。
在放松身心,惊叹于图马洛格瀑布主瀑布的神奇之美后,我们决定返回,沿着小路往下走,可以看到瀑布水流倾泻而下。第二层岩石较多,水流湍急,而且很浅,不适合游泳。最后,我们来到了最后一个景点——鱼疗池,正如之前提到的,我们在那里享受了池中可爱的鱼儿带来的免费水疗。
在图马洛格瀑布享受放松一个多小时后,是时候返回市区了。入口标志后面就是洗手间/更衣区。设施虽然不是很现代化,但我们可以自行使用。我们在这里把湿泳衣换回了干爽的休闲服。然后,我们又骑摩托车回到了主干道,这条路更加陡峭,所以如果你像我一样带着沉重的行李,一定要格外小心。当我们回到宿务市的轿车时,阿泰·阿玛利亚(Ate Amalia)和我们道别。由于阿泰·阿玛利亚和Island Trek旅行团的帮助,这是我们最棒、最快乐的瀑布体验之一。她和库亚·乔纳森(Kuya Jonathan)一起组织、管理、指导并照顾我们奥斯洛布观鲸和图马洛格瀑布之旅!!!更不用说她拍摄的那些精彩绝伦、美不胜收的照片和视频了,它们将永远铭刻在我们的心中!!!很快再见,Tumalog Falls,你真是一个可爱又神奇的惊喜!!!非常感谢!!!Daghang Salamat!!!:=)
