Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Land tour of Puerto Galera included this site. It is along the highway and it’s fun to watch and do a photo op. It has a Tamaraw statue - which is interesting since there’s no way to see it any other way. I think it’s on the brink of extinction.
Public toilet available- P5/P10/ P20 Shower.
P30/ person to take a swim at the pool on the bottom of the falls. Sandy uneven pool floor…
Restaurant on site P220/ meal.

Tamaraw falls is located alongside the road going to Puerto Galera proper. It is nice to stop by and take some photos. Though the falls looks nice, the water at the basin is not clear, it is even brownish but I believe it is because it's rainy season when we visit.
There is an entrance fee of Php30 when you want to go downstream where they have picnic areas and better space for swimming.

Those saying that the waterfall was boring most probably did not explore the area in its entirety.
Entrance is only PhP 30 and you can get access to the man-made waterfall and pool (which are both a little mossy, skip those) as well as the waterfall at the lower level.
You would have to go down steep stairs, but it's all worth it. The place is very quiet as not everyone ventures to the lower waterfalls. The place is great for pictures and for a little swimming.
Going to the lower waterfalls is not ideal for kids or people who have difficulty going down/up steep stairs.
The food is ok, but examine your bill carefully before paying.

While staying and diving in Puerto Galera, we were able to take some time off to visit this waterfall. It is located about 30 minute ride from the town and best go there by jeepy ride. The waterfall is scenic and there is pool below the bridge allowing travelers to cool down and relax in. There is a small entry fee to the pool area. Due to our diving schedules, we were not able to actually use the pools but the scenery is well worth the ride. Lots of photographic opportunity here and opportunity to recharge your soul.

It wasnt that great. Stopped for about 15 minutes just to snap a few pics. No swimming allowed at the bottom of where the water falls but you are allowed to swim at the other side where there is a pool kinda water fall. The view to the water falls was amazing!

If you´ve never seen a waterfall before, you will probably get excited, but for most of us it is not a first encounter. As with other excursions it is the whole trip itself that makes it worthwhile. For that reason you should rent a scooter and enjoy the breathtaking views along the road, but try to avoid the weekends which are overcrowded at not a pleasant time to visit the falls.

if you get tired lazing on the beach or the water sports then take a tour of Puerto Galera's other attractions. One of which is Tamaraw waterfalls. Just don't expect too much. They are neither high, have huge amounts of water crashing down nor particularly beautiful.
The upper and lower parts of the falls are separated by the main road. Were it not for the signs and the ubiquitous vendor stalls, you could drive right past. The lower part of the falls have a couple of small pools in which swimming is permitted. There is naturally an onsite restaurant and gift shop.
Literally 5 minutes at the place and you will have seen all there is to see. Worth a look but don't expect to be wowed !

If you are looking for beautiful Jungle scene with waterfalls nearby then Tamaraw Falls is just your ticket. The Falls is just under an hour if you are putzing along with your rented motorbike or ATV. When you arrive ther was a little snack stand at the top of the stairs leading down to the Falls and the natural pools under the bridge. Those pools are quite inviting and compelling for the warm climate. Don't let that fool you though They are very cold if you are not used to it. When you reach the bottom of the stairs there are sitting areas and also a small vendor there as well. There they sell snacks and T-Shirts and a few other souveniers. A pleasant afternoon had by all in my party.

The tour packages offered at hotels and guest houses are outrageously expensive so we decided to hire a car to do the day tour independently, and Tamaraw Waterfalls was the first attraction we visited. The waterfalls is located along the road. There are shops nearby where you can purchase souvenir items like t-shirts, bags, hats, scarves, etc.

Very dissapointed. Water is no longer clear and very poor compared to tukuran falls. Food's cost is cheaper though. Dinning area is not maintained well.
