Where are Inambakan Falls?
The Inambakan Falls are about an hour from Moalboal, the tourist hub of South Cebu. Those coming from Cebu City should expect at least a five-hour drive, while Oslob trips take approximately one and a half to two hours.
The Google Map Pins are clearly marked and correct. To make it easier, I pinned the location of the waterfall below.
The best way to get to Inambakan Falls is by motorbike. Follow the road along the coast and through the lush hills of South Cebu. You'll have to drive up and down several hills, so make sure you fill up before leaving the coast.
Along the way, you'll enjoy palm tree-lined mountain roads and small villages.
The PIN takes you directly to the checkout. This is nothing more than a local's house at the end of the dirt road. There are some kids there who want to take you to the waterfall and show you the levels. If you have some spare change, I would recommend letting them take you to Inambakan Falls.
Entrance fee:
The entrance fee per person is 50 pesos. If you want to pay a local guide, it's up to you to decide how much you want to give.

What to Expect at Inambakan Falls
Once you enter the dirt path from the ticket booth, it will take you approximately 15 minutes to reach the waterfall. Right from the start of the hike, you will see the milky blue water that Cebu is famous for, flowing in small streams.
Inambakan Falls itself is a large, wide waterfall that is about 30 meters high. It flows much more powerfully than some of the other waterfalls in South Cebu, sometimes rivaling the famous Kawasan Falls.
The first level has a deep blue swimming hole and a cave where you can swim to relax behind the powerful waterfall.
There are five levels in total, so I would definitely recommend taking the route to the higher levels. Although Inambakan Falls is relatively quiet, with only a few groups at a time, you will most likely have the upper levels all to yourself.

What to do about the Inambakan Falls?
If you're out exploring, there's plenty to see at Inambakan Falls. Even the first level has caves, limestone walls, jungle vines and some sneaky jumping spots.
The upper levels, while slightly smaller than the main waterfall, have some decent cliff jumps. Remember that if you don't have a guide, you will have to check the depths yourself and avoid submerged rocks.
