After a deaf search, our group decided to drop by Danao Lake.

This lake in Albay is a beautiful and pristine lake, located in the municipality of Polangui.
‎
‎This is the only lake in Polangui, Albay.
‎
‎It is known for its lush vegetation and mountains, including Mt. Malinao and Mt. Masaraga.
‎
‎This is also the home of various species of fish, including the tabyos or sinarapan, which is considered one of the smallest fish in the world.
‎
‎Our plan is just to explore and take a few photos to capture wonderful memories together.

But as we arrived, the staff offered kayak rentals which cost around P100 or $1.75 for 40 minutes, which is a great value.
‎
‎He said we could explore the lake at our own pace and enjoy the stunning scenery while relaxing with our family and friends.
‎
‎He also assures us that if we're not a strong swimmer, they're providing life jackets.
‎
‎Hearing that offer, we quickly rented a duo kayak, eager to paddle our way across the serene lake.
‎
‎I was with my brother.
‎
‎We then wear the life jacket on and get the paddles.

With the warm sunshine sparkling on the calm water, we climbed into our kayak.

‎We were excited to try kayaking and explore Danao Lake's serene beauty.
‎
‎After a quick briefing from the staff, we start our adventure.
‎
‎I sat in the front, and my brother took place in the back, holding the paddle.
‎
‎With a gentle push, we glided into the lake.

As we paddled, the surrounding landscape and the lush greenery of the nearby mountains provided a stunning backdrop.
‎
‎The lake's tranquility calms our minds.
‎
‎I also try splashing my hands in the water,  rocking our kayak gently.
‎
‎As we paddled further, we spotted fish swimming beneath the surface.

It's the tabyos or sinarapan.
‎
‎Their scales shimmer in the sunlight.
‎
‎Midway out on the lake, we took a break, floating lazily. 
‎
‎We can hear the soft sound of water lapping against the kayak.
‎
‎But then, disaster struck!
‎
‎My brother accidentally dropped his paddle into the water.
‎
‎I tried to help him, but it was too late. The paddle had already floated away.
‎
‎We were left drifting helplessly, with the lake's gentle currents.
‎
‎We can't help but giggle uncontrollably.
‎
‎Just as we started to get worried, our friend on the other kayak helped us.
‎
‎We finally retrieved the paddle.
‎
‎Before we knew it, our 40 minutes were up.
‎
‎And we reluctantly paddled back.
‎
‎As we stepped out of the kayak, we couldn't help but smile at each other as we felt a sense of contentment, knowing that we had made wonderful memories together.

‎This Kayak adventure at Danao Lake helps us to experience both physical activity and the beauty of nature.
‎
‎The sounds of water and the gentle ripples of the lake make that experience perfect.
‎
‎Until our next day of exploration... Buh-bye. 👋🤸
