Nice, quiet, secluded beach with cute pebbles. Ideal for people who don't like crowded, busy places. For the best sunset massage look for Haidi

Love our stay, and it was so fantastic. The location was amazing and the facilities were great. I would recommend it.

Clean to swim. Perfect for family vacation.

Best for viewing sunsets, nice views and the locals are very accommodating probably go back to enjoy the experience again.

The place is very nice I highly recommend my family to come there to relaxing and enjoying ❤❤❤

Tucked away from the busy and loud vibe of the other spots like Sabang or White Beach, Talipanan is a tranquil version of Puerto Galera where you can take a swim or take a stroll along the beach. If you are all for relaxation in a serene and breathtaking scenery then this should be a destination for you.

Peaceful coastline with white sand & ocean views, plus waterfront hotels & restaurants.

We went out here a little bit late, so we couldn't follow anyone and were a little lost to begin with. But actually just follow the river to the left after the village and you'll find it. We wanted to take the Ox cart, but couldn't do it because the condition of the ox. They put a rope through the nose and control it that way. It's an extreme pain for the ox. So we walked. It took about half an hour and it was beautiful. We met the women that works in the regrestri, she was on the way home. But she walked back with us to show us what is dangerous.. And she was really nice. The place is just beautiful.

25min walkable. We choose by our feet than to ride with carabao. Its fun trekking its easy just too hot by the time we are scorching and we pass by 5-6 rivers so if u walk wear shoe or sandals for water and trekking used. 50 pesos for entrance fee. water is clear and clean also there is small souvenir shop but pricey and if u want to eat u can may eat snack there they are selling food to eat , drinks cola and buko fresh

+ The guide and carabao drivers here are friendly and have a lot of stories to share. + The actual place is quite nice; the water is quite cool, and you can see monkeys among the trees. - It is not advisable to have pregnant women join the journey here (note that the guides won't warn you about this). - The carabao cart ride is very rough due to the rocky and muddy terrain to traverse, and the cart has very small leg room and can only accommodate at most 4 passengers. Prepare to have your behind hurting. - The terrain to climb has a lot of slippery and badly angled spots, so you need to be extremely careful.

Great day out, well worth the trip. Went to Tameraw Falls first then here. If you have time, do both. If you can only do one, do Tukuran Falls. First you have to catch a Carabao cart (type of buffalo) to the falls which is fun. Then you get to talk to the falls and explore to rocks. The water is very fresh and fun to swim at the bottom of the falls. Take your own food and towels, nothing to buy there apart from small tourist gifts from the lovely ladies. Fun day out.

Table cost 200p. Can bring own food and drinks. Beer 150p. Meal sets on sight 1000p-2500p. Great place and locals.

Amazing view. Great place to relax for a whole day. Great food cooked open grill style.

Experience nature at its finest. Ride a water Buffalo to get you to Tukuran falls crossing rivers and muddy roads. At the end of your trip you can have picnic at the falls or swim at its catch basin. They also have local shops selling souvenir items. Overall a unique experience.

This was a nice surprise! The walk to the falls are through river beds, taking about 15-20m. My 7 year daughter had a blast walking there. The falls are really pretty, you can swim in the large pools. I am pleased to say they are very clean. Worth the visit. (Take sunscreen)

Gorgeous spot. Walked an easy, flat 2 km from where we parked our scooters to the falls. Took us about 45 minutes. We took a dip in the first pool and then climbed the rocks for more privacy and great pools. It wasn’t busy. We paid 25 pesos for parking a scooter, and 50 pesos per person to enter the falls.

Not worth it-tourist trap. Long way to go from “parking” in village (river crossing with motorbike on your own risk). Lazy tourists using Carabao to transport them. Again a fee at the end to see just a stream… ok, super small fall as well. There are other more impressive waterfalls to visit.

Awesome waterfall! Very cool waters on a hot sunny day! Had a blast swimming under the waterfall and enjoying free back massage from the rushing falling waters! Serene and beautiful environs! Big rocks with character! Charming people ready to assist visitors on foot climbing the rocks and on waters on the way to the waterfall. Enjoyable carabao ride, slowly traversing the river and the lush trees and vegetation along the way!

It’s a wonderful place. From the parking lot you can walk through rivers and forests to get there in 20 minutes or you can take a buffalo ride which is a bit faster (costs 500 php). We walked and it was amazing.

First off you will not have cell service at the falls so google maps wont work for the walking portion. Once you reach the entrance you'll know by the crowd of people. I had 4 ladies with umbrellas offer there guide service and I delcined as I wanted a peaceful experience to myself. The walk back to the falls is a long one, 45+ minutes. There are 3 river crossing you won't be able to cross with a motorbike. At the entrance they do offer an OX cart ride round trip for (500 peso). The cart ride was rough but enjoyable. The guide service walked behind the cart all the way to the falls even though I didn't want a guide. I think the guide service is mainly for those who are going to make the trek to the falls. Once at the end of the ox cart ride, you'll walk 500 meters to the face of the falls. The Ox cart ride guy will wait for your return. I climbed the falls to the top and picked a nice pool of water to swim in. The ladies still followed offering to take photos for me but I declined. I crossed a more difficult rock section of the falls, and I was on one side of the falls and the ladies were on the other. I set my belongings down in sight and took a refreshing cool swim. After spending 30 minutes swimming the ladies finally left the other side of the falls and went back down because they could not reach me. On departure the ladies asked for a (25 peso) entry fee. I took the cart ride back to the entrance and the entrance people asked for a (25 peso) parking fee. I paid the ox cart dude the (500 peso) after he took me back to the parking area.

I love this place! Especially the ride with the carabao up to the waterfalls is truly an amazing experience

Very accessible waterfalls in the Philippines. It's along the way to Puerto Galera from Calapan VV. Anyone can stop here to take photos and enjoy the views.

It is located along the highway and stands very tall. Its beauty is very impresive. The waterfall is very relaxing.

Nice place to stop by and take apicture. They also have a place at the lower part where uou can take a swim but its in the muddle of the road. Im not sure if there is parking

One of the best things about Tamaraw Falls is its accessibility. The falls is located just a few minutes away from the main road, and visitors can easily reach it by car or motorcycle. The falls has ample parking space and a small entrance fee, making it a budget-friendly destination for families, couples, and solo travelers. There are picnic huts, tables, and chairs available for visitors who want to have a picnic or a snack. There are also food and souvenir vendors located near the entrance, offering local delicacies and products. The falls offers a refreshing escape from the heat and the city, and its natural beauty is simply breathtaking. If you're looking for a budget-friendly destination for a day trip, then Tamaraw Falls is definitely worth a visit..

No remarkable waterfall, beautiful located right by the road, easy to park. now there is not so much water due to a little rain dry period.

Along the highway. Nice falls. If you want to enter and swim, you need to go down and pay 30 pesos for adults, 15 pesos for kids. But if you don't want, you can still see the falls and take good pictures.

Lovely falls must visit when u are in Puerto Galera. And don't forget to bring your swimwear u can have a cool sunny nice view facing the jungle and ocean view

Very beautiful spot. It is to enjoy a few minutes and then continue on your way. If you are in Puerto Galera rent a motorcycle and go see them! Not only will you enjoy them but also the jungle road.

environmental fee is 50 per head, you can swim and rent a cottage. with souvenier shops & food shop. very cold water and relaxing

Beautiful waterfalls just along the road from Calapan to Puerto Galera beach. Good to stop by and take some pics 📷🥰

One of the easiest accessible falls in the country. With a pristine falls coupled with the place marker and some tamaraw statue and info, this place surely is a nice choice for instagram photos.

Must go place! Water is really cold perfect for summer. Food is actually cheap. Entrance fee is reasonable 50 per person.

Great place to take photos. Also a nice place to have coffee at the nearby sari sari store as the background gush of the waterfalls is very relaxing. You can also pay 50 pp to swim downstream. There are plenty of tour guides who are great at taking photos and cinematic videos for you at no charge (but deserve a tip)

It was a pleasant visit. The place is having an ultimate natural resources to blow your mind. Do not miss to bring shorts to get into the natural swimming pool. We went there from ship and enjoyed the trip as well as its all about green island. Find me FB Page: Sailor Imran

Nice place to take a dip when on the road. enjoy the waterfall. they have made like a pool so people can enjoy. tickets of 50 peso per head

Nice stop if you’re passing around. They have a pools under the bridge for a small fee. Water goes from the waterfall

never let this beautiful scenery to pass by everytime we visited Puerto Galera. we took a picture before but unlucky that its summer time and no good flow of falls, so i suggest visit this during winter time or with rainy season ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great place. Beautiful ambiance and the connectivity thru the nature is the best.

Don't go in Puerto Galera if you don't dive. Aninuan Beach is ok but white beach is meeeeh (even restaurant there are superexpensive and not good). This area of Philippines is super expensive while there is nothing to do except diving, beaches are just meh. It really doesn't worst to spend time and money to go in Puerto Galera

Got lost finding the secret passage to this beach but definitely worth the trouble. This beach is perfect for relaxing because it's not crowded.

My heart was left here!!! I fell in love with this beach while we were here. It has less people and more peaceful. I couldn't help myself but stay longer and draw it. You must be careful if you want to swim here, especially if you are not experienced with swimming in huge waves. Also, getting here is a challenge if you don't know the secret passage. But I will give you a hint: pay attention to the bushy side of the road. You can find a small entrance, and that's it!

Fav beach in Puerto Galera.. nice sand few people and even good snorkeling

Among the other beaches in Puerto Galera, the one in Aninuan is the most serene and relaxing. The sand and water is better than the White Beach. It is not crowded, almost have no tourists. However, you cannot find stores and restaurants within the area aside from the cafeteria inside the resorts which offer expensive food choices. If you want to relax and chill, Aninuan is the place.

Awsome pace didn't know about it, I was planning to go to white beach in the evening but suddenly I got a thought why not try this beach and decided to go here. It did justice to my expectation. I say in the beach watching sun setting down making the whole horizon full of shades. If u like less crowded place then you must visit here.

A beautiful place to unwind and relax. Not crowded and the current was a bit strong. Watch your kids if you are bringing some. Have some sunscreen lotions as well. I will definitely go back in here next time.. #ariatravels #googlelocalguide #puertogalera

Genuine blue skies and a stunning seashores ready to be taken into the memoryof forever. Filled also with lavishing food and the convenience of your stay, adds up to you ever wanting to be back to this place again

My favorite beach in Puerto Galera. Nice and quiet. No sellers.

The place is good, reception ambiance is cozy, overall the place looks clean and tidy. Room and facilities are need and well maintained. Cons: Infinity pool is a little bit dirty from sand, children's full are also filled with sands and not being filtered. The low tide beach are full of ruffles and marble rocks. There are no staff beyond 7pm. Guests are able to do anything like drinking session, play loud music and smoke/vape all over the pool area. You are not able to relax when the night falls instead of enjoying quiet nights during your stay. There should be a personnel or staff to maintain peaceful ambience especially near guest rooms and apartment. We also asked the staff to fix something and they are not really responding right away and you need to follow up from time to time. Final verdict... If you want to go there for an experienced yes you may but for me it would only be a one-time experience, i would rather go to white beach lodging, rather than having a high expectation on this place.

Overall, my stay at the beach resort was pleasant, but there were some drawbacks, particularly at bedtime due to the thin walls that allowed noise from other rooms and the hallway to be heard easily. It's a very family-oriented place, so if you're looking for a quiet retreat, it might not be ideal unless you're with a family group. The food was decent and reasonably priced. The beach area was well-maintained, and the small pool served its purpose for cooling off. However, the facilities appeared quite worn, although efforts were made to keep them clean and functional. It's evident that the resort is an older structure in need of renovations and updates to enhance its appearance. Nonetheless, the scenery and tranquility, especially for a few relaxing days by the sea, were sufficient. They offer various excursion packages, including diving trips. There's a tricycle stop and a snack kiosk right outside the resort for convenience.

Nice white beach resort away from the crowd. Good service too!

Place is good. Rooms are clean. Staff seems to change on approaching guests. I am a returning guest for years and normally they are really nice and accomodating. Not sure if its because we were all Filipinos and no foreigners with us this time. We sat in the pool area hoping we could order something and none of the staff assisted us. They even tried to insist that we should pay as we order tho I normally have it charged in my room and pay everything upon check out. One of the staff said that it was the instruction of the management. It was kinda off in my side. In general, it is still a good place to stay and hopefully they will apply the better customer service they used to have.

The view from my room was majestic and spacious. My only concern was ants crawling around. The pool was great. I love the sunset! The foods were ok but a little pricy.

Bueatiful resort but the restaurant and food could use a big upgrade. Also should have handicapped accessible rooms. Over all still a very nice place will visit again.

I’ve stayed twice and really love it. Rooms are comfortable and the pool and pool deck are fantastic. Two concerns: The beach furniture is in disrepair, and the kitchen really overcooks meat, especially fish. But the Tamaraw rice is fantastic!

5 Stars! Why!? Because it's Tamaraw Beach Resort! Puerto Galera! One of the finest here in Puerto Galera! Beach + Pool + Diving! All-in-One Family or Romantic get away! Plus Function Hall for all occasions! Two Thumbs Up!

If you like snorkeling, there are 2 sea turtles at Tamaraw Resort lurking around at the beach. Rooms are nice and the location is quite near from the port. I would recommend if you'll rent a motorcycle for your stay to make it easy transport.

I last stayed here in 1989 and of course lots of things have changed, but the beautiful location and relaxed atmosphere are the same. The room was very large with private bathroom and a/c and very reasonably priced. I did walk to White Beach, which is very over-developed, and was really pleased to go back to Tamaraw.

Visited during off-peak. They're currently constructing new villas atm but the existing amenities are more than enough. Rooms aren't new but well maintained. White sand and peaceful place. Relaxing. The staff are friendly and the parking is good. Note: place is not well lit during the evening. It would be better if the management would install night lights/accent light/mood lights specially on the pool deck

Wanted to take a breather from toxic workplace. Went here and experienced a horrible customer service. And also Can't get a hold of people who can fix the dripping tap water. Though I just enjoyed the scenery of the ocean.

Great place if you are looking for that chill vibe, very nice quite and clean place. You have a swimming pool and just a few steps away from the sea ❤️

is very relaxing place, all the amenities are excellent from the entrance to the lobby, hallways and specially their rooms. The l staffs are very welcoming and accommodating you'll really feel at home. Perfect for you and your love ones. I'll be back again

Nice to stay here feels like your 2nd home! Spotless room and nice view sea from balcon
