Trek through dense Subic jungle to reach the thundering El Kabayo Waterfalls — a hidden cascade plunging into a natural pool framed by rainforest. Few visitors make it here, making it one of the Freeport's most rewarding secret escapes.
What to expect
The trail follows a river valley through secondary jungle thick with ferns, butterflies, and the calls of unseen birds. The waterfall itself drops dramatically into a wide, clear pool — cool and irresistible after the hike. Your private guide shares the ecology and history of the former naval base lands now quietly rewilding. Pack a picnic from the port area and you have the makings of a perfect jungle afternoon.
Good to know
Wear sturdy hiking shoes and light, quick-dry clothing. The trail involves some river crossings — check conditions at the SBMA eco-tourism office on arrival. Allow 3–4 hours round trip. Arrange private transport from the pier and confirm your all-aboard time before departure.
