Enchanted River

Enchanted River: A Journey to the Mystique

Hinatuan’s Enchanted River is a stunning natural attraction renowned for its pristine, sapphire-blue waters set amid lush tropical surroundings.

This deep spring flows into the Philippine Sea and is famous for its vibrant hues of blue and green that captivate visitors.

The river measures about 0.27 kilometers long and features depths reaching up to 80 feet in some spots.

Rich in local legends, it is believed to be sacred and inhabited by fairies and spirits, adding a mystical dimension to the site.

While swimming in the main pool is prohibited to protect the environment, designated areas nearby allow visitors to enjoy the cool waters with life vests, given the depth.

Daily fish feeding events attract crowds, offering a lively spectacle as fish rise from the depths.

Boat rentals enable trips to nearby attractions like Sibadan Fish Cage for marine exploration and island hopping.

The clear waters are also suitable for snorkeling, providing a chance to see marine life, though access to the deeper parts is restricted.

Visitors are advised to follow guidelines such as avoiding littering, refraining from alcohol, and respecting swimming regulations to preserve the river’s beauty.
