Olangoan Falls
Olangoan Falls sits at the foot of Mt. Cleopatra in Barangay Binduyan, about 70 km north of Puerto Princesa city, with its entrance close to the national highway at Km 72. The Binduyan Community Tourism Association runs it as part of the city's Northeast Circuit.
From the registration hut it is a 30 to 45 minute walk through forest, with a few steep climbs, to a pool about seven metres deep. The water is cold, small fish nibble at your feet, and there is a rock ledge for a five-metre jump.
The falls reopened in 2022 after typhoon Odette destroyed the hanging bridge and cottages. It makes an easy break on the drive to Port Barton, Roxas or El Nido.
