Then head to Cadlao Lagoon, a peaceful hidden gem surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and calm, emerald-green waters ideal for kayaking or floating the day away.
You’ll also visit Balinawood, a rustic and scenic beach area that once served as a film location, and snorkel over vibrant reefs at Pinagbuyatan Island, where marine life thrives just beneath the surface. Tour C is perfect for breathtaking views and snorkeling experience.
