    I could not able to swim in the lake since it's too deep! But being able to eat while traversing the lake is very relaxing.

    The restroom (before you enter the lake) desperately needs to be upgraded. You pay 5 pesos to use a very basic toilet with a broken door (and you are not allowed to shower). The lunch on the raft, and the swimming experience in the lake makes up for the dismal bathroom, though! Vests are provided for each swimmer/passenger. Bring your own goggles and snorkels if you wish.

    Went here over the weekend. Parking is spacious but you have to pay 50, no time limit as the parking area is privately owned. Its safer compared before that you will park at the roadside. Locals will look after your car. You have to trek a little to reach lake pandin. Its just sad that you have to pay 60 pesos on top of the environmental fee. They said that the 60 pesos is for the right of way as the trail going to Lake Pandin is privately owned. The Lake experience though is lovely. The water is clean the water underneath gets colder. Bangkeros wont allow you to swim w/o lifevests otherwise they will be suspended. If your not good in swimming at least you wont get tired easily as you have lifevest to support you floating. Maximize your stay as they only allow 2hrs. Per boat to stay. CR is not well maintained. There is no shower cubicles here. You may wash up in the water filled in the palangganas. I did not wash up after our swim in the Lake, i just changed clothes but I did not feel any itch after. Two thumbs up for that! πŸ˜‰

    We were welcomed by a local tour guide and an enterprising house owner across the street who rents his lot for parking to go to the lake. About half or 1 km and due to rain it's wet and muddy. Reasonable price P360 per person so we thought but that's for a group of over 4. So we ended up paying P400 per person. The lake was serene, greenery all around and the crew were helpful and accomodating. The food though simple as it is were delish. Investing on proper signage-directions, prices and improving amenities will make this place a great place for locals and tourists.

    Parking fee nearby highway is 50 pesos. While walk passed thru the private road is 60. Lalakarin mo about approx 500 meters rough road. Fresh water lake. ok naman ang foods at reasonable price.

    A place where you can relax and just enjoy nature while you eat your lunch on a balsa ride. Perfect get away from the busy city life. Expenses wise... Its cheap. Its just perfect for the adventurous you. Perfect for taking pictures. Just be ready for a short hike over a few kilometers of road and trails.

    Although the parking area is only along the highway. I say its a bit unsafe. But the place is very nice. Locals are very hospitable.

    We had to wait for about more than an hour before we were able to ride a balsa. Food is just fair. Still a good experience

    Pandin Lake Experience for only 350 pesos is ❀. Sumptuous meal ( the ensaladang Pako is to die for! My favorite inihaw na Bangus and oh so delicious rice wrapped in banana leaf) plus 2 hours stay at the lake is very affordable. Perfect place to spend with family, friends and loved ones. I will definitely go back here!
