Lake Danao National Park is located northeast of Ormoc City, sitting among the mountain ranges. It is a popular tourist destination that both locals and tourists go back to. It has a distinct violin shape covering 148 hectares, and has a volcanic origin. Staying in Lake Danao feels cooler than normal because it sits 700 meters above sea level.

Lake Danao is popular for kayaking, swimming, and fishing. It is a habitat for catfish, carp, Indian milk fish, tilapia and giant eels. There are locals around the park who offer a ‘paluto’ service using fresh produce from the lake.

The lake might be the main attraction, but the park offers a whole lot of other fun activities you can do!

This bird-shaped island in Palompon, Leyte is called Kalanggaman – derived from the local word for bird “langgam.” It boasts a sandbar of pure white sand stretching at both sides of the island. Currently, one side is shorter than the other due to the different typhoons that passed the region but its pristine beauty is still regal.

Kalanggaman is occupied by palm trees, creamy white sand, and a perfectly clear blue sea. It can get crowded on the holidays and summer season, but everyone can still get their own private spots within the island.

Aside from the sandbar, Kalanggaman houses a marine sanctuary of diverse ocean life and corals. Nearby are famous dive spots you can negotiate with locals to visit.

It is preferably wise to visit this area during the summer season of March to May to avoid the rainy season.
