| Lake Danao
Should you wish to tour the island, the cost of the habal-habal tour is P600.00 for 3-4 tourist spots. The tour is whole day. The farthest is the cave tour.
But I paid P250.00 for the tour of Lake Danao and the 3 resorts that I mentioned. The tour was good only for 2 hours.
My guide's name is "Zobel" - 0910-409-8550. He is very kind and accommodating.
