The Province of Surigao del Sur has tons of surprises and The Enchanted River is one of them.



The Municipality of Hinatuan is a maximum of 8 hours travel from Davao City and 4 hours if from Butuan City passing through Municipalities of San Francisco, Barobo and Tagbina.

Enchanted River is hidden at Brgy. Talisay, from the National Highway of Hinatuan, Surigao Del Sur, you need to have a 30 - 45 minutes ride in the famous Philippine modified motorcycles called the "Habal-habal" or "Sky Love" motor.



A stunning blue lagoon nestled within a mountainside and protectively covered by a forest. Its dark tinge comes from the Pacific sea pouring in from a very deep and very clear underwater.



 Another exciting thing is that Enchanted River is very close to Hinatuan Sea; that explains its Blue color. From Enchanted river there is a small boat that you can rent for only 150 Php (rate as of January 2011)where you can enjoy the Island Hopping in some of the islands around found in Hinatuan Sea. You can visit and swim with the Pawikans in one of the houses floating there, buy a 15 pesos worth of foods for Pawikans and fishes.



You can not stay overnight at Enchanted River. However, you can stay overnight at the floating house with Pawikans while party.



Remember, Enchanted river is not the only place to be visit in Surigao so never miss other exciting places the province can offer also like Tinuy-an Falls in Bislig (the widest falls in the country), the surfing sites and beautiful places in Lanuza, cold springs in Cantilan, and the delicious sea foods in the floating restaurant of Carrascal.
