Experience two outdoor sites near Dumaguete and Sibulan in one private day. Begin with a challenging hike to Casaroro Falls, a single column that drops 30 meters into a pool surrounded by rocks and thick indigenous forest. Be ready for an hour of river trekking and some 350 steps down a concrete pathway and a steep steel stairway. Return via the same route./p>
Continue to the Balinsasayaw Twin Lakes, tucked 850 m above sea level northwest of Dumaguete, for scenic views and nature walks. The partly hilly drive from Dumaguete to Sibulan is an hour and 30 minutes with panoramic views of the Tanon Strait and Cebu. Cross Lake Balinsasayaw by local banca or take a 30-minute rock trail to reach Lake Danao, then enjoy a local lunch at the community restaurant and view deck. Bring a windbreaker or jacket as the air is cooler at elevation and light rain is common.
