Maasin River (Coconut Tree Swing)
Maasin River
A coconut palm leaning over the river carries a diving swing; emerald water, a church and a stone bridge make it a viral Siargao scene.
The Maasin River flows through Maasin village in Pilar and lies beside the north-bound ring road from GL. A coconut palm growing at an angle over the water has become a popular jumping spot. Visitors climb the trunk and leap into the emerald river, with a church and a stone bridge nearby in the frame. You can rent bamboo rafts or stand-up paddleboards to paddle upriver into the mangroves. Entry is very cheap (exact fee posted on site). It is often scheduled together with the Coconut Road Viewpoint and the Magpupungko Rock Pools on a motorbike ring-road day. Check the water depth before jumping, and there are basic changing areas by the river.
