Enchanted River

Surigao del Sur's jewel, the Enchanted River in Hinatuan is a startlingly deep, sapphire-and-jade spring river that flows straight to the sea — so blue it looks unreal. Visitors swim in the cool, clear water and gather for the daily fish-feeding ritual around noon. It's a beloved natural wonder wrapped in local legend. Best for: nature-lovers after one of Mindanao's most famous and photogenic swimming spots.
