Our recent trip to one of Biliran’s hidden gems led us to an extraordinary discovery: the breathtaking Kasabangan Falls in Cabucgayan.

Going to the site can be breathtaking! We had to stop at the roadside on our way back to savor the panoramic view of the fields, islands, and the sea.

Upon reaching the place, the waterfall offered us a brand-new experience.

We were able to get close to the plunge, and the boys performed some tricks behind the water curtain.

Juicy Bits

• It is easily accessible via concrete roads.
• Concrete and steel pathways with handrail.
• Kasabangan Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall.
• Saob Falls is the 7th layer of falls before Kasabangan Falls.

Kasabangan Falls Location

Kasabangan Falls located in Brgy. Balaquid, Cabucgayan, Biliran. It’s not exactly in Brgy. Balaquid proper, but it is 1.6 km. from Biliran Circumferential Road. 

If you are in doubt, you can ask some of the locals there.

Although the road was fully concrete, the terrain was on steep slopes with tight turns. Be a defensive driver, and always use your horn.

You will meet the end of the concrete road and walk towards the falls on foot for about 8 to 10 minutes. 

Getting to know Kasabangan Falls

Kasabangan Falls is a multitiered waterfall all in one place from the highest point of the mountain.

It has been said that this waterfall is just only one of the 13 waterfalls along the stream.

Kasabangan has been transformed into a semi-resort featuring concrete benches along the stream, sheltered by roofing for weather protection.

Some local guides offered the opportunity to explore further, promising to discover even more breathtaking sights. 

A Walk to the Waterfall

Before reaching the falls, the excitement starts as we walk on a concrete road to a man-made steel bridge going to the falls.

We passed by an abandoned facility, maybe that is the changing room and comfort room before the typhoon ruined the man-made steel bridge.

As we go deeper, we hear the refreshing sound of the cascading water of Kasabangan Falls.
