About Ulan-Ulan Falls
Ulan-Ulan Falls in Almeria, Biliran, is a breathtaking natural wonder surrounded by lush greenery. Its strong, misty cascade resembles pouring rain—hence the name “Ulan-Ulan,” meaning rain in Filipino. This hidden gem offers a serene escape for adventurers and nature lovers seeking an unspoiled paradise.
We rarely hear about the province of Biliran; without using Google, you won't see the beauty hidden in this island province. Ulan-Ulan Falls is one of the majestic waterfalls hidden in the wide forested areas of the province. There are cool, crystal-clear waters, while the area is surrounded by lush greenery, which preserves the relaxing ambiance.
The falling water created a circular pool that serves as a catch basin for the cool water. By the pool, there are gigantic rock formations that are picture-perfect. Ulan-ulan Falls is definitely one of the top tourist spots and destinations in Biliran. Then, we headed to Tinago Falls.
How to Get to Ulan-Ulan Falls
- By Air: Book a flight with Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines to Tacloban City. From the airport, ride a taxi or jeepney to Grandtours (near SM) or Duptours Terminal. The terminals are well-known, so if you're lost, ask the locals, drivers, or guards. The people in this region are really accommodating.

Where to Stay near Ulan-Ulan Falls
I stayed at TJ Pensione, one of the cheapest hotels in Biliran, located in the center of Naval, just in front of Jollibee and a few meters from Grand Tours, Van Van’s, UV Express, and other transport terminals. TJ Pensione is not like your five-star hotels, but they have organized, clean rooms, toilets, and baths. I spent 475 pesos for an overnight stay in an ordinary room, with a king-size bed, cable TV, and a fan.
Summary
With its refreshing waters and tranquil setting, Ulan-Ulan Falls is a must-visit destination in Biliran. It perfectly captures the province’s raw beauty and the soothing charm of nature at its finest.
