Last week, Danish couples Mikkel and Jeannete Pedersen, Ole and Joy-len Sorensen, Filipino couple Evan and Cecilia Jamero and sweathearts Helle Sorensen (Ole’s sister) and Soares Goncalo (Portuguese) were the very first guests to visit this new excursion tour that Coco beach. Activity Guides Jojo and May brought them to the Agbalala Falls which boasts of three waterfalls but the first two falls are accessible as the third fall is yet to be reached.

Taking a dip in Kaligaton Falls

At 9:30 in the morning, their adventure started with a 1 ½ hour boat ride to Agbalala in Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro. The waves were quite big that time and outrigger boat was not able to dock on the shore. This posed a challenge to the adventures but with Activity Guide Jojo assisting the group, they were able to reach shore. Jojo decided to borrow a flat boat (baruto) from “bantay dagat” just to reach the beach. From the beach, they took a 5-minute trek to the first waterfall - Kaligaton Falls which stands approximately 30 meters high. Here our guests enjoyed the crystal clear and cold water of the falls.

Trekking to Lumantad Falls

After an hour of swimming, the group decided to trek to the second waterfall- Lumantad which stands at approximately 60 meters high. To get to the falls, the group trekked for another 25 minutes and upon reaching Lumantad Falls, took another swim in the natural pool before going back to the beach for the barbeque lunch.

According to the group, the big waves and trekking made their adventure more thrilling and exciting.
