Our tour began with a visit to this lagoon, which served as the perfect start. Accessible only by kayak for a rental fee of 300 pesos for two, it proved to be an excellent location for kayaking. The crystal-clear waters, striking rock formations, and panoramic views made for a captivating scene. We snapped tons of pics, as the scenery was undeniably Instagram-worthy. Undoubtedly an unforgettable and highly recommended experience.
