Kawasan Falls is one of the most popular waterfalls in Cebu and is located in Barangay Matutinao, Badian at the southwest part of the province. It is also just an hour away from Moalboal, which makes it an ideal nature side-trip after a day at the beach. Kawasan has two main waterfalls that are both deep enough for swimming. The first set of falls has a height of over 40 meters, while the second set has a wider area with a height of 20 meters. There is a small third falls a few kilometers away from the second one but is rarely frequented by tourists.

The water from the Kawasan Falls comes from the Kabukalan Spring and passes through the Matutinao River and Tanon Strait (Wikipedia
Article). The Kawasan Falls is managed by the local government, they work hand-in-hand with the locals to make sure that waterfalls is regularly maintained and well-preserved.
