Lots of activities, including trekking, swimming, having a picnic, or simply relaxing, can be done at the place; plus, El Kabayo is an easily accessible spot, so there is no need to worry about getting lost when visiting it.

A natural attraction seated in the heart of Subic Bay is home to two waterfalls of different heights. The first waterfall is about 3 meters high, and the second one is 5 meters high. The two falls are almost thirty meters away, meaning one must go trekking to see both waterfalls. While hiking, you can enjoy sightseeing and even a lovely picnic, as the El Kabayo Waterfalls have a very relaxing ambiance. Nothing is more enjoyable than enjoying your favorite food while observing the forest's flora and fauna. You can bring raw food and have the caretakers cook it for you or get meals already cooked so you can start eating when you reach El Kabayo Falls.




Walking along El Kabayo Subic trails also means that you can get a chance to learn about jungle survival and make medicine from herbs. The MAD Travel and Trek program aims to teach trekkers about the country's natural riches and preserve Subic's indigenous tribes' land.
