Escape to Lake Sebu in South Cotabato

View of the lake from the Punta Isla restaurant

After a short photo shoot in Surallah, I headed straight to the overland terminal to catch a van to Lake Sebu. The sign board showed that the van departs every 20 minutes But I waited for almost 30 minutes before it actually left the terminal since there were only few passengers. In fact, we were only six when it departed.

I arrived in Lake Sebu after almost an hour and immediately contracted a habal habal (tricycle) driver to take me to the seven falls and drop me back to Punta Isla Lake Resort..

I was stunned by the beauty that is of the waterfalls. The habal habal driver convinced me to take the zip line and so I did and it was such an amazing experience. The best zip line ride I had so far. I love it and would like to do it again!

After the zip line ride, I left the seven falls and went to Isla Punta to take my brunch. I ordered pinaputok na tilapia and rice. Unfortunately, they do not serve food for solo travelers so they serve me three pieces of big tilapia. I ended up eating two and brought home the other one.

The Lake

After brunch, I decided to roam around the resort and took photos of the magnificent view of the lake.
