For canyoneering tours in Cebu, local regulations require the canyoneering course to close for the day if water levels exceed the safety limit or the water becomes too murky.
In particular, after heavy rainfall, the course may remain closed for several days to allow authorities to inspect the underwater terrain and ensure that conditions are safe for visitors.
