And we are back again here in Lake Balanan, the last time we came it was raining heavily and we did not manage to have a walk around but this time we went up to the tree house, the zip line station and to the waterfall, it is about 30 minutes walk from the other side across the water using the floating raft, there are some areas that the footpath had collapse just be careful and do this adventure with your own risk. Also wear a proper walking shoes as you will be walking across a drive river and along the river bank if going up to see the waterfall, it is best to visit the waterfall days after it rain to see more water flowing and also water will be crystal clear. This place is an hour drive from Grandview only. Highly recommended to all adventurous people. Also you must try there fresh crayfish dish that can be order at the kitchen restaurant, We had some in our previous visit and it was so good I mean super good, very tasty with full of different kinds of spice. That was the best crayfish dish I tasted ❤️🇵🇭.

Balanan Lake was formed in 1925 when an earthquake with a 6.8 magnitude on the Richter scale caused massive landslides in both mountain ranges. The landslide created a natural dam right across the southern end of the Balanan River and the water rose to become a figure 8-shaped lake. I have to rate it 3 star cause it needs some renovation and staff. The Government should promote this place cause its so enchanted and natural.

Worst road I have ever driven, do NOT go here with your own scooter. Loads of rocks that really damage your vehicle, goes on for many kilometers. Hitchhike or get a tricycle, unless you have a 4 x 4 or an off-road motorbike. The place itself is nice though, 50 pesos entrance fee, has a pool, nice trail around the lake, raft you can use and some waterfall in the end. But Jesus Christ the road...

The place is so relaxing, good for people who likes to unwind and relax their mind away from their city life. You can go boating if you want, the water is so cold and air is unbelievably fresh. If you go there i recommend you bring your own car or motorcycle as the place is so far from the highway and be careful as the road is a little bit difficult to maneuver, almost all of the 12km road is all rough terrain. The people there are so...

Nous avons presque hésité d'y aller, mais je me méfie toujours des mauvais avis! Alors ce matin en bus aircon jusqu'au terminal de Siaton, excellent trèsvite en 1h30, puis proposition de nous amener en habal habal au lac et retour pour 600 Php, il faut demander Jandri au terminal de Siaton! Excellent conducteur, mais tout sans casque, à 3 sur la moto avec 2 sacs à dos. Déjà les paysages magnifiques, la route partiellement en béton autrement une piste caillouteuse, c'est vrai, mais avec un bon conducteur comme Jandri c'est l'aventure drole, puis l'arrivée dans un endroit calme, enregistrement fee 50 Php/pax, une nature, racines, arbres etc.splendides, tour du lac en bateau avec deux rameuses sympa, 10 minutes de marche pour arriver aux chutes, facile pour s'y baigner et se laisser frapper/masser le dos par la chute. Attention prendre de bonnes chaussures, car les tongues glissent un peu. Des enfants proposent des écrévisses fraiches du lac et le restaurant du ressort les cuisent adobo, un pur délice. A faire absolument, c'est si beau!! Celui qui cherche du repos, il est servi, pas de réseau téléphone, pas de Wifi, la nature pur! Pour voir plus regarder sur FB Balanan Lake Mountain Resort. On peut le faire en excursion de journée en partant de Dumaguete ou...
