Tuael Bird Sanctuary Hill
This beautiful nature spot is found in Barangay Tuael, which is just 3 kilometers from the centre of the municipality. The hill is the habitat of thousands of birds of different species, including the well-known black crown heron or Nytocorax. The site is full of nests that are drooping from the branches of trees, shrubs, grass and fledglings of different ages. There are even birds here that are continuing to increase in number, which are believed to have migrated from the neighboring countries in Asia. One of the distinct characteristics they are showing is flying in cadence and gracefully spreading and swinging their wings as if they are dancing on the air.
Barangay Poblacion Hot Spring
A piece of nature that is looking like a big well, the Barangay Poblacion Hot Spring exudes heat even if it is being surrounded by fresh water.
The Winding River of Kabacan
Also located in Barangay Poblacion, the winding river of Kabacan is ideal for tubing and rafting, with its water stemming from the foot of Mt. Apo and cascading, rushing and running down all the way to the Liguasan Marsh.
