Lake Balinsasayao in Sibulan Negros Oriental

Lake Balinsasayao is located in the western part of Sibulan Negros Oriental. It is approximately 8 kilometers from Sibulan port. If you are looking for a perfect place for relaxation in Negros, then the Lake Balinsasayao is the place. This became the habitat of the Balinsasayao bird which is distinguishable with its blue color feather. Things you can do in Lake Balinsasayao includes, kayaking, swimming, trekking, fishing, fish spa and many more. When we reached the place, all we can see is just one lake. So we are looking for the twin. We learned that the other lake which is called Lake Danao is located on the other side of the mountain. There is two option to get there, its either you do the trekking or rent a paddle boat for 250 for one hour. Of course, we chose the latter. We do not want to do the trek since the trail looks too tough for us. Kayak is also available and the rate is 100 per hour.

The Lake Danao is much smaller than the Lake Balinsasayao; however, according to the Manong whom we rented the boat, the lake is 200 feet deep. This is not a perfect place for non-swimmer but life jackets are available. A viewing deck is built between the two lakes.
