Tinuy-an Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall in Bislig, Surigao del Sur in the southern island of Mindanao, Philippines.[1] Bislig is a city known as the Booming City by the Bay. The waterfall itself has been featured in various international travel magazines and TV shows.
The Tinuy-an falls are 95 m wide and 55 metres (180 ft) high, touted as the little Niagara Falls of the Philippines. Tinuy-an is a white water curtain that flows in three levels (with a fourth tier hidden from view) and is said to be the widest waterfall in the Philippines. Every morning, the area shows a rainbow between 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. One may also ride a raft to get close to its cascades and get a water “massage.”
Tinuy-an Falls is a co-management effort between the tourism office of Bislig and the Manobo Tribal Council.
In 2024, birder Peter Kaestner spotted an Orange-Tufted Spiderhunter at the falls in a heliconia thicket. This was Kaestner's 10,000th different bird species, a new world record.
