Ready for another #summer get away? A trip that you could do with family or friends that would leave you with epic memories and amazing moments or a date with your love one at this wonderful place, taking in the beauty of mother nature. This place has been one of those MUST be visited places when you get your feet on this Island. Its lake has a shape of a guitar whose park is the entry point in accessing the lake itself. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island.
Lake Danao Park, Is also known for its legend where the locals would tell you about. According to the story there was a married couple Isyong and Isyang. Basing on the stories that the locals told, I could imagine that It wasn’t a healthy and happy marriage as they argued with each other constantly. Due to the arguments and fights that they had fate or Mother Nature cursed them to be separated from each other – water then started to appear encircling and separating them both which has made the Crocodile Islet and Snake Islet that you’d be able to see in Lake Danao.
However, regardless of the tragic story, the lake is still popularly known as Lovers Lake because of its ambiance. The entrance of Lake Danao Park is tad bit far from the lake, There’s an entrance fee of ** 15.00 PHP ** to help keep maintain the lake and its park. The ride will cost around ** Php50 to Php100 ** in going to Lake Danao Park if you're staying in Pacijan. The park as well opens as early as 6AM and closes at 6PM in the evening.

Since we were quite a big group we were able to rent out the boat exclusively for us. We were around 10 people, and paid ** 20 PHP ** each for the boat tour.
