The crown jewel of Badian is undoubtedly Kawasan Falls, a multi-tiered cascade famous for its vivid Gatorade-blue water. The journey to the falls via a canyoneering tour from Alegria to Badian involves cliff jumping, natural water slides, swimming through canyons, and trekking through jungle trails.
While located near the border with Dalaguete, Osmeña Peak is easily accessible from Badian. It stands as the highest point on Cebu Island, offering jagged, pointed hill formations reminiscent of the Chocolate Hills, combined with sweeping views of the coastline.
For those seeking relaxation after an adrenaline-fueled day, Lambug Beach provides soft white sands, swaying coconut palms, and peaceful, clear waters perfect for swimming and watching sunset views.

Famous for its electric turquoise water created by natural limestone deposits, this multi-layered waterfall system offers a perfect mix of serene nature and exhilarating adventure.The main cascade, often referred to as the first tier, drops into a spacious, deep natural pool where visitors can take a refreshing swim in the cool spring water. Beyond the primary fall, adventurous travelers can hike further upstream to discover second and third tiers, which are typically less crowded and surrounded by dense rainforest foliage.For thrill-seekers, Kawasan is globally recognized as the climax of the famous Badian Canyoneering tour. This adventure involves river trekking, cliff jumping from heights ranging from 3 to 15 meters, sliding down natural water chutes, and swimming through scenic river canyons before reaching the main falls.
