Camotes Islands Philippines

It took me minutes before I jumped because I was really nervous. Like I did the sign of the cross and prayed for my safety.

Awesome view

We were the only people so we felt like we own the place.

Please enjoy the beauty of our experience. It was fantastic and I just could not believe that I was able to make it. I am in love with Mother Nature.

My feelings was a mixed of catching my breath and nervousness. Just imagine that the French girls I was with were tall and I have short legs. It wasn’t easy to swim and keep up with them. I kept on saying, “Please wait for me!”

Just relax, enjoy the scenery and don’t be in a hurry. It was not a race.

Just make sure that you will go there on a sunny day. It is always the best time to go canyoneering.

I forgot how many levels we have to pass going downstream. I believe it was eight but correct me if I’m wrong.

We had these ‘oooh’ and ‘aaah’ moments every time we finished on jumping from one fall to the other.

This one is 10 feet high that I decided not jump because I was afraid. So brave with this French girl for trying out.

We’re almost there!

Peaceful

Massage please!

This is Kawasan falls already!

Yes, you’ll end up in Kawasan falls! It’s time to take off your wet suit, helmet and change in your swim wear.

Before I engaged the canyoning activity, I thank my solo backpacking experience for bringing a heavy backpack with a laptop on it which I am now used of walking or hiking everywhere I go. I also had this cliff jumping activity in Camotes Island which I already had the experience of jumping. I know to swim a little bit and is always fond of snorkeling. You must be physically fit and has the sense of adventure.

The activities related to canyoning are mountaineering, bouldering and snorkeling.

For safety, it is a must to wear a helmet, a wet suit and a PFD (personal flotation device) or life jacket.

Always listen to your guide and don’t get stray away from the group. Fortunately, we were just three during the tour so it was easy for our guide to accommodate us.

Be careful during cliff jumping to avoid bruises, scrapes and cuts. We were fortunate that we never had this kind of incident as we were not in a hurry. Just keep your pace and enjoy the scenery.
