Welcomed by the green pastures and chirping birds, Lake Danao indeed offers the nature's finest that gives you the feeling of serenity and relaxation. The calm and mysterious waters of this guitar-shaped lake gives you both the feeling of tranquility and thrill. It's a joy that the Ormoc City's tourism department preserved the natural park in such way that nature can really reconnect with people in this modern world. Truly one of Ormoc's best prides.

Highly recommend that you go early 5:00am, join a group to make the boat ride cheaper and secure one of the better situated 500p (group) or 240p (if going solo) cottages facing the Atol, which are raised off the ground and will protect from rain. I don't think the tents are worth it. They are hot, the ground is rough and uneven. Bring a pad and sleep in the cottage. I believe a 500p cottage can sleep 6-comfortably. Snorkeling! Rent yourself a traditional mask and snorkle for 150p. You should negotiate. The best area to s orkle is on the Rocky side where you'll see buoys tied between the shore and barrier reef. We saw giant clams, eels, puffer, angel, clown, parrot fish and even a sea snake! Swim in your flip-flops (slippers) or water shoes. Most sea urchins are tucked away in the coral. Rocks are super slippery when wet, take your time. At sunrise you can find loads of common periwinkles (edible sea snails). You can boil or stir fry these tasty critters! Pro tip: Bring a needle to eat the snails.

Mahaba was my favourite of the four islands, but that was in no small part due to the fact that I spent the most time there. Digyo is recommended for people who want to camp, but we sought special permission to camp on Mahaba. We were told we’d be doing so at our own risk because, unlike at Digyo, there are no people here to look out for your welfare once the boat leaves. It’s a beautiful island with a very nice beach and some nice bird life, but it was the snorkelling here that I most enjoyed. There’s a very steep drop-off a short distance out from the beach which would require diving equipment to explore properly, but everywhere else was perfect for snorkelling. For me the highlights included seeing; a yellow-lipped sea krait, a moray eel, mantis shrimp and a lion fish. I’ve wrote separate reviews on the other islands in the group but if you only have the option to visit just one of these islands this is the one I’d recommend above the others.
