I was born at Talim Island. I know personally the Beauty of Laguna Lake. I explores the whoke area. I was with my father fishing at the lake since I am a 6 yr. old boy now I am 45 years of age. I am totally amazed of God’s mystery inside the lake ” I could say, FULL OF LIFE ” I praise God who made Laguna Lake.

Hi Iris,

This is alas not a tourist spot and I have the impression that not many people explore the lake. The best is to go to one of the lakeshore barangays/villages and ask around for a fisherman willing to take you with him. Note that most of the boats are VERY small (you can fit two-three people). In my case they attached two small boats together for added stability (since my main purpose was taking pictures). Five people could fit in (including the boatman). There are bigger boats available but probably a bit harder to find.
I think you need a two step approach. First day try to find a fisherman and a boat. Then agree on a day when you actually do the trip. You might loose too much time finding a boat to do the trip the same day. I recommend an early start (6am).

Sorry about this. There is alas no booking office… But it is well worth the effort. It is very cheap. I paid P 1,500 for a whole day (two boats) everything included.
You might end getting a lot of fish for free (from fishermen or caretakers). Some of those caretakers have a lonely life and you know the Filipino hospitality… so I was always welcomed with a lot of smiles.
Note that you should bring along your own food & drinks, sun cream and sunglasses.
The sun is really burning.
It should also be no problem to rest on one of those cottages for a few hours and enjoy the sight and the peace of the place.

Let’s say in is an adventure close to Manila!

I was not able to return to Laguna de Bay after the typhoon “Milenyo” but I fear most of the houses and fishponds are destroyed now.
