The place was quite far. We were staying in Calbayog so going here, we had to go to the terminal for the jeepney. Travelled for almost an hour. You can just ask the driver to dtop you Tinaplacan for Tarangban Falls. When you get there, you'll see a hut and That is where you have to pay for the entrance fee, P20, then the guide (P300) and just if you need someone to take you there, you'll have to hire a motorcycle to drive you back and forth (P100). Yep, it is far from the main road. When you get to Bangon falls, you'll have to climb the unending steps going to heaven 😆 to get to Tarangban. It was worth it ❤️ tho. Next stop was Bangon falls. Bangon is where the water from Tarangban goes. The place is not ready for tourist yet tho. But it was really nice. We had to watch the waterfall from afar. The guide said the way was not paived and the basins from the falls are deep. We did not know how to swim so we stayed at the sides to be safe. The place was relaxing. Probinsya feels. The place is not crowded since it's not widely known. BTW, there are coconut trees EVERYWHERE because it is there source of income. I hope to be back here i the near...

Read moreOne of the nicest places we found on Samar. It was not terribly expensive as of October 2019. The guide was nice, he didn’t speak much English but he helped me when the rocks were slippery and he carried my bag down and kept an eye on our stuff. The habal habal Tripler was fun too! There’s nowhere to change clothes or use the bathroom so keep this in mind. It’s about 1.5 hour trip from calbayog. You can flag down a jeepney headed to Allen on the way for ~40 pesos pp. the path to get to the falls starts with Bangon and then goes to Tarangban. The walk is paved (slippery in spots!) and has stairs. It took us about 15 minutes to climb to it. Be prepared to tell the driver what time to come bring you back. The last jeepney back towards calbayog is at 3:30pm, if you miss it, you will have to pay a lot of money to a tricycle or habal habal driver and the roads are...
