About About the place

Caluangan Lake, located in Barangay Wawa, Calapan City, is a natural treasure characterized by its tranquil waters and lush mangrove forests. The lake supports a diverse ecosystem of birds, fish, and other wildlife. While local livelihoods depend on the lake's resources, increasing fish pens and pollution pose a threat to its ecological balance. Efforts are underway by civic organizations to restore the mangroves and promote sustainable tourism. The lake offers a genuine rural tourism experience, with opportunities for boat tours and birdwatching, and views of the majestic Mt. Halcon.

Best for

Caluangan Lake is best suited for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and those seeking a peaceful escape from the city. It's also appealing to travelers interested in experiencing rural tourism and supporting local communities.

Best season

The dry season (November to May) offers the most pleasant weather conditions.

Best time to visit

Weekdays are less crowded than weekends. Early morning or late afternoon (sunset) are ideal for birdwatching and enjoying the scenic views.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

We were planning for this vacation for a long time and it was really wonderful. Visiting these amazing places was a unique experience and we could make a day out of it enjoying and having interesting conversations with the locals. The people were really hospitable and warm and made sure we don't feel left out.
