Practical Info

[FACT NEEDED: entrance fee, operating hours, guide requirement, swimming permitted or viewing only]

[FACT NEEDED: water depth and clarity; swimming safety conditions]

What to Expect

Tibaw Cave Pool is a semi-open karst depression — shallower and more forest-enclosed than the adjacent Banilad Spring Cave Pool, and suitable for swimming. It is one of three stations on the Bacong Trekking Tour route through Barangay Bacong’s uplifted limestone terrain (see the Bacong Trekking Tour entity for the full circuit). Outside that trekking-route documentation the pool has little independent coverage, unlike Anda’s better-known named cave pools such as Cabagnow or Combento — treat the details below as provisional until confirmed with a local guide.

Notes

• Corroborated as a real, distinct site by the Bacong Trekking Tour entity, which describes it as a station on that route (see trekking-tour.md) — this resolves the earlier doubt about whether “Tibaw Cave Pool” exists, though independent web sourcing beyond that internal cross-reference was not found.
• The Trekking Tour route in Barangay Bacong passes cave pools with tilapia fish in surrounding swampy water — Tibaw Cave Pool may be part of or adjacent to this route
• Anda’s other attractions include Anda Falls, Anda Lagoon, and Talisay Long Beach
