We tried the highest zipline in Southeast Asia! This 1.1 km zipline divided into two segments starting from Falls Number 1 to Falls Number 5, and from Falls Number 5 to Falls Number 2.

The photogenic Falls number 2 or Hikong Bente, the tallest among the seven falls

We trekked down here to see the waterfall up close. The rock wall is just as pretty, too!

The lush greenery gives every visitor a relaxing feeling.

LAKE CRUISE AT PUNTA ISLA RESORT

After a thrilling zip line adventure at the highest zipline in Southeast Asia at Seven Falls, Lake Sebu, we took our lunch at the Lake Cruise of Punta Isla Resort. It was a complete experience -- gastronomic, environmental, and cultural immersion.
Going down to the lake side for the cruise.

We were served the famous chicharon tilapia

Another tilapia dish called Pinaputok -- tilapia wrapped in banana leaves with all the spices inside

Pinakbet

Locals who belong to the Tboli ethnoliguistic group provide entertainment with their traditional music and dances.

The tour guide is entertaining. His jokes are really funny.
