Beautiful Hagimit Falls

I’ve been going to Samal Island for a few years now and even bought land there. I’ve been passing the area going to Del Monte and San Jose and been seeing the big sign for Hagimit Falls this way and never made it there until a few weeks ago. A reader asked his girlfriend to see the land that a friend of mine was selling and he saw it that I have been talking about our land in Samal.

Well his girlfriend contacted me and asked me if I could accompany her to see the land and I told her sure and to just let me know when she’s in Davao. Just less than a week she’s here in Davao already. So we set up time to go to Samal and see the land. I showed her all the land thats for sale that my friend is selling. I brought her to Kaputian a small town in Samal. A place where Pearl Farm located and  its near the property of my friend. I showed her the land and she really like it. The land was just 3 meters away from the water and you can even see Pearl Farm. The price that my friend is selling for is P3,000 pesos per square meter. He also had lots that are a bit further from the water and the price there is P2,800 per square meter. Its a white sand beach. The view is really awesome.

Just across the property you can see Davao City, Mt. Apo, if good weather Mt. Matutum in Polomok, South Cotabato. Nice sunrise and sunset.

Not far from Hagimit falls if you just follow the main road you will reach the small town of Del Monte. My friend also owned a property there. It’s more for farming. He already had coconut and some fruit tress on the land. He is selling P700,000 per hectare. It has view of mountains there. I’ve been to the place and its really nice. His caretaker planted in some area with corn. If any of you are interested on one of the property just email me and I can hook you up with the owner.

The lady that I showed my friends place was really so interested with the beach area. She told me that her boyfriend wants to live near the beach. She really liked the property. On our way out the family of the lady wanted to see Pearl Farm since on the land I showed her you can see Pearl Farm, and they’ve never been to the Pearl Farm they wanted to see it. So we decided to drive there. Well, it’s further than what the brother wants to drive and he got scared that we might get stuck on the mud.  The brother then decided to just go back to the paved road and go see some other property. On our way out of Kaputian the next town out was San Jose. When we reached to main highway from Kaputian and San Jose the big sign of Hagimit Falls was just right across the road where we went. As soon as the lady saw the sign she immediately asked me if its okay for all of us to go there? What can I say I’ve never been to the place myself, I told her sure. I’m glad I did. The place was just beautiful and you can tell not much tourist have gone there yet. It’s so green and just so clean. Wow the water was something to look at. Just watching the people swimming at the bottom of the falls makes it exciting. I saw some kids jumping from the top of the falls. I don’t think I would jump though.  I’m too chicken to jump.  Ha ha ha.

Really if you happen to be in that area, go see the Hagimit Falls you won’t be sorry you went. Whenever you go there try to bring a lot of food with you they don’t have a restaurant there yet. Just a small store was there. But the place is not that far from Penaplata (one of the main towns of Samal Island) I think later they will have restaurant there. They are still working on improving the place. They had cottages for just eating and they also had rooms there that you can rent for overnight. I didn’t asked how much the price for staying there. The entrance fee was just 10pesos. You can parked your vehicle there if you bring one. The road to go there from the main road is not that far and its not paved yet. I’m sure when they are done with the improvement they will paved the road to go there from the main highway.

Have a good visit in Hagimit Falls and let me know what you think of the place.

An Update: I think Hagimit Falls already have lots of cottages now and they already had place to eat and order: I think you can even stay overnight…
