How To Get There?

Location: Brgy. Basak, Badian, Cebu, Philippines

By Car: From Cebu City, take the Cebu South Road toward Barili and Badian. About 3–4 hours drive, you’ll reach the turnoff to Brgy. Basak near Badian town proper. Park near the barangay road, then follow a short 15–20 minute trek downhill to the falls. The road is mostly paved, but a 4×4 or high-clearance vehicle is recommended for comfort.

By Commute: If commuting, ride a bus or van bound for Badian from Cebu South Bus Terminal. Ask the driver to drop you off near Brgy. Basak. From there, local habal-habal drivers can take you closer to the trailhead. The final walk to Basak Falls is an easy trek of 10–15 minutes, weaving through lush greenery and small streams.
