One of the best destinations in Mindanao is Siquijor. There are lots of places to visit and lots of things to do. Anyone who loves snorkeling should definitely visit Mantigue Island 🙂
Been there in lake sebu and it was awesome especially the 7 falls plus the zipline 🙂 Experience it yourself! Try to visit mindanao and you will love it 🙂
But it would be great if you rent something like ATV in lake sebu.
