A really nice place where you can go with your family or friends and spend a nice time in the shade of trees with the sound of water in the background, barbecuing and enjoying moments in natural pools Here you don't have to worry about parking. Toilet or drinks and snacks if you didn't bring anything for barbecue. A clean place with many places to sit. Easy access.

the surroundings are beautiful because it is surrounded by trees, that's why the air is cool. the cold water was too cold for what I thought, or maybe it was just a coincidence that it was overcast at that time. I think the cottages will be far away for privacy and I hope they add more comfort rooms and wash rooms because the queue of people is so long.

Very nice park operated by the municipality of Nara. The park itself is located 2 hours south of Puerto Princessa and about 15 km off the main highway, so securing your own transportation is a must. The seasoned traveler or the adventurous could take a
Bus or Jeepneey from Pourto Princessa to the turn-off and then a Jeepney to the park.

The park is well maintained, As a matter of fact, the day we were there, they were painting and sprucing everything up, getting the park ready for the winter high season.

The plunge pool directly under the twin falls is closed to swimming due to dangerous conditions created by undercurrents in the deep water. However, there is still over 100m of.
mountain river with several small Rapids and the falls wash basin available for soaking and swimming.

According to the park manager, there are several other falls. where you can sit under a waterfall and the plunge pools are available for soaking and swimming,
they are just up the trail from the main twin falls.

The main wildlife attraction here is the troop of Palawan long tail macaque. We spotted four heading towards the river crossing the main walkway. However, a group of at least fifteen were at the edge of the parking lot, having a grand old time in the tree line.

Overall, this place is a quaint relaxing place to commune with nature in a forest environment with a US State Park vibe.

Rating this place for its value and environmental beauty. The only downside is its accessibility, it’s quite a long way from the city, - and the place could have lots of visitors depending on the time or day. Late hours means more people but holidays may also make it a busy place. There are parking spaces and few local stores selling stuff and affordable entrance fee. The falls isn’t big but the stream down the falls is very refreshing with its crystal clear water you could see small fishes. Well maintained and very clean. Some of the pools are deep but they are safely marked and you may rent floaters. There are cottages and it seems there are overnight cottages too but not sure if they are functional.

A good place to experience nature. The water is really cold as it was apparently from the mountains. It's also entertaining to see the monkeys roaming around the waters but also quite scary because they definitely will steal your food if you leave it unattended.

Aka the Twin Falls (separated by a large boulder), but during rainy season the separating rock is sometimes inundated. The drop point is deep and we were advised never to go there. The water flows from the mountain, so expect it to be cold (very cold). According to Ms Desa, the tourism officer assigned here, there are 64 other waterfalls but you need to climb the mountains for four days to see them all. The trek is open to those interested and a guide will be assigned.
The flowing waters are cascading to the natural pools which have varying depths. At the bottom of the waterfalls is a large pool which can be bathed. Hanging ropes were also installed where anyone can hang and swing like Tarzan. There is a sign forbidding the drunk from rope hanging as someone said to have drowned because of it. There are cottages, shower room, picnic area and guest houses to those who want to stay overnight. The development of this resort is great as it gives a feeling that you’re still in a forest. The environment is clean, refreshing and (always, we’re told) there are troop of monkeys seen playing here.

Small falls, but really beautiful. The main fall is surrounded by tall and black rocky walls covered in plans and trees, it felt like a classic Disneyland “jungle area”.
It falls into a deep pond of very clear and chilly water, with slipper pebbles all around and beneath it. There’s also a little park nearby where you can have a picnic.

The entrance fee for foreigners is 50₱

Theres also the possibility to hike up the river and see all the falls, but this takes 3 days and you’ll need to arrange a guide at Narra’s tourism office or municipality (this is what the guardian told me)

Amazing place, been there last March 4, 2017. It is 83 kilometers (highway only) from the City proper of Puerto Princesa and 7 kilometers from highway to the falls. Its a perfect place to go with your family and loved ones, but the temperature of the water was too cold for my upper body portion since I get cold easily, maybe because I have weak lungs :D
However, overall it is good, my boyfriend enjoyed it much since he can endure the cold water. The place is neat and the management seems taking good care of the place.
Also they give discount to their first customer of the day's entrance fee but only 5pesos less I think per person, but if you are going there with a group of 10+ its a big thing already. We were the first customer the day we went there. The cottage fee in the lower area or near the water is 100 pesos and 75 pesos on the upper area (not good for small group and for old people).

This under-rated attraction is popular among locals as a great place to picnic and swim due to its ease of access. The water is sparkling clean. You can avoid the picnic family crowd by being here early and leaving before noon. Possible on a day trip from Puerto Princessa, but best done by doing an overnight trip to Narra and staying in a local inn to a get a feel of the local vibe and culture. While here, visit the Narra towns other attractions, including Arena Island turtle sanctuary, beautiful Atom Lake, Rassa Island bird sanctuary, and Mt. Victoria (3-days to the summit), or any of the 60 other waterfalls (if you are fit enough).
