How do I get to Valencia and Casaroro Falls from Dumaguete?

Only about 10 km west, a 20 to 30 minute drive. The Casaroro Falls trailhead is a little further on a narrow road, and from there it is roughly 335 steps down plus a 20 to 30 minute river walk over boulders to reach the falls - budget about two hours for the stop.

Yes, both are in the uplands near Dumaguete and make a good combined day. Tell us your plan and we will quote a private car with waiting time.

The arithmetic works for an afternoon or evening flight, and the same car can finish at the airport with your luggage on board rather than returning you to a hotel you have checked out of. Be back at the Casaroro trailhead car about three hours before the departure time, which means starting the walk about five hours before it, since the gorge runs an hour and a half to two hours. Worth knowing what that start time costs, though: it puts you in the gorge in the afternoon, which is the flat, dim half of the day down there and the hot half for the roughly 335 steps back up. Nothing closes to stop you, because no opening or closing time is published for the falls at all, so this is a question of what the walk is like rather than whether you can get in. If the falls are the part of the trip you care about, they are better on their own morning earlier in the stay. A morning flight does not leave room for the walk either way, though the roadside stops at Pulangbato and the Red Rock spring still can.

Yes. The same private car and driver, Valencia back to Dumaguete over the same ~10 km. Ask for both legs in one quote request and we price the round trip together. If the way back ends somewhere other than where you started, say where in the Anything else? box on the quote form and we quote that leg instead of the reverse of this one.

Usually yes. There is no minimum notice on this route and no cut-off hour, so a request for tomorrow, or for later today, is worth sending rather than writing off. What settles it is whether a vetted driver is free for the time you need, and you will have the answer and the price by email the same day, usually within a few hours. An early start is routine here rather than a complication. The part that gets harder with less notice is choice - holding a particular vehicle size or an exact pickup hour - not whether the journey can happen, so send the date and, if the timing is tight, the hour you need to be moving.

Nothing to ask for a quote. Once you are happy with the price it is two steps, not a choice between two: a booking fee paid online (card, bank transfer or GCash) confirms the trip and is what gets you your written confirmation, then the balance goes directly to your driver at the end of the journey. The fee is part of the all-in figure you agreed rather than an extra on top of it, and your quote states it before you pay. Free cancellation more than 72 hours before pickup refunds the fee in full.
