Select participants and date
You step off the pumpboat and the limestone cliffs close around you like the walls of a secret amphitheater. The water here is an impossible blue, and for a moment the world narrows to the sound of waves against hull and the hush that follows when a group of travelers takes in Kayangan Lake for the first time.

Adventure Tips
Book a pre-dawn pickup
An early departure reduces boat traffic at Kayangan Lake and Twin Lagoon and gives better light for photos.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
To protect coral gardens and wreck sites, choose biodegradable sunscreen and apply at least 20 minutes before entering the water.
Bring water shoes
Rocky entries and coral bottoms make footwear useful for entering and exiting the water safely.
Check tide timing
Some lagoons require a short swim through a gap at high tide—ask your guide about the best entry time.
