If you signed up for a private tour with land transfer, your driver will pick you up at the pre-agreed location and time before taking you to the trail jump-off in Brgy. Salvador, Luisiana, Laguna. A quick stop along the expressway lets you grab food and water for the day. If you’re doing a DIY, make sure you arrive at the jump-off early — your call time will be indicated in the confirmation email sent to you.
At the site, you’ll meet your local guide. Bring only what’s essential for the hike-and-swim adventure. Please refer to the list of things to bring or the FAQ section for guidance. Your warm-up starts with a 15-minute walk leading into the forest trail — watch out for uneven paths and loose rocks. First up is Talay Falls, a gentle introduction to your adventure, followed by Hidden Falls, a great spot for a short snack break. From there, retrace your steps and hike another 20–30 minutes to reach the main attraction — Hulugan Falls. The path can be slippery, so hold on to the bamboo railings or use a trek pole. A small backpack keeps your hands free for balance. Once at Hulugan, find your perfect spot, take a dip, and enjoy your packed lunch surrounded by lush greenery. Before heading back to Manila, freshen up and treat yourself to Luisiana’s local bibingka — the perfect reward after a full day outdoors.
FAQ
When’s the best time to go to Hulugan?
The waterfalls is at its most spectacular from November to February, when the water flow is strong and the weather cooler. During the Philippine summer, the falls are smaller but still worth the visit.
How difficult is the hike?
The trail to Hulugan Falls is moderately easy — expect muddy paths, a few stream crossings, and some rocky or mossy sections. You’ll be walking through a tropical forest, so it can get humid. Good footwear with traction and ankle support is a must (no slippers, please!).
Where is Hulugan Falls and how do I get there?
Hulugan Falls is located in Brgy. San Salvador, Luisiana, Laguna — about three hours from Metro Manila. You can get there by private land transfer through SLEX and Calamba, then continue toward Pagsanjan before reaching Luisiana. If you booked a TRIPinas private tour, your driver will pick you up at a pre-agreed location and time. If you’re on a DIY tour, detailed directions will be included in your confirmation email.
Can I visit independently without a guide?
No, that is strictly prohibited (like for most tourist attractions in the country)
What does your package include?
For private tours with land transfer, your package covers private round-trip transportation, registration fees, and a dedicated local guide. If you prefer to drive yourself, choose the DIY option — we’ll still arrange your guide and permits so your trip goes smoothly.
Can anyone go or is there any restriction?
For safety reasons, we won't recommend this tour for pregnant travelers, kids under 8 years old, or those with knee or ankle issues. The trail can get slippery and uneven. If you’re unsure whether this activity is right for you, send us a quick message — we’ll be happy to guide you.
What should I bring and wear?
Dress light and stay comfortable. Wear moisture-wicking tops, hiking pants or shorts, and proper hiking sandals or shoes with good grip. Bring a swimsuit, rash guard, and a small dry bag (10L) for your essentials. Don’t forget trail snacks, at least 1L of water, insect repellent, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a rain jacket. A hiking stick helps with balance, and a change of clothes with a towel will come in handy after your swim.
How long does the trek take?
The trek takes roughly half a day — just enough time to enjoy the hike, take a refreshing swim, and have a relaxed picnic by the falls before heading back.
