Enchanted River was located in Mindanao at Talisay, Hinatuan Davao del Sur Philippiness. It was an eight hour drive from Davao City and nine kilometers away from the road. Though the place is a remote, far off away from civilization and transportation is a problem but behind those lies beneath a captivating Enchanted River. It was the alluring blue majestic water that fascinated the visitors who endure the long travel just to be in this place. And I could think that the river was taken care of by elemental being because of its crystal clear water coming from a hundred feet underwater cave. 
The only activity of this place was a fish feeding during twelve in the afternoon when all visitor were advise by caretakers to stay away from the river because fishes out of nowhere will come out to feed with a background music of the Enchanted River .
There are also some urban stories speculating that spirits guard the river that is why swimming beyond six in the afternoon is greatly discouraged. There were also reported sightings of two women sporting long blonde hair and a green-skinned man who walked on the water’s surface who all vanished out of thin air.
Whether these stories are true or just figments of imagination of people who have been awe-struck by the beauty of the river, it could not be denied the Enchanted River in Hinatuan is indeed one of the must-visit spots in the Philippines
