Local barangays manage access to Kawasan; the falls and canyons have long been part of community subsistence and were later developed for tourism with formal guide training.
Conservation
Kawasan has scheduled monthly clean-ups and visitor fees that support maintenance—pack out what you bring, avoid non-biodegradable litter, and use reef-safe sunscreen.

Wear secure water shoes
Aqua or closed-toe water shoes with good tread prevent slips on wet volcanic and limestone rock—loaners are common but your fit matters.
Bring a small dry bag
Keep phone, ID and cash dry; expect repeated crossings and splashes even if the main swim is at the end.
Know your jump limits
Many cliff jumps are optional—communicate with the guide if you’re uncomfortable and choose lower exit options instead.
Start early to avoid crowds
Morning departures mean cooler conditions on the canyon approach and fewer people at Kawasan’s pools for photos and lunch.
Aqua shoes (if you have them)
Provides traction and foot protection on wet rock; provided shoes may not fit perfectly.
Quick-dry clothing / swimwear
Dries fast after repeated swims and keeps you comfortable through the day.
