Lake Danao


Located in Ormoc City, 125 kilometers from Tacloban City, it is 2,100 feet above sea level and 3 kilometers long.

The violin-shaped Lake Danao is hemmed by cloud-capped-mountain ranges of undetermined depth. Wild animals roam its surrounding forest, making it a hunter’s paradise. The lake is said to be the habitat of the giant eel.

Lake Danao has been identified as one of the two major eco-tourism destinations in Region 8, the other being the Sohoton Caves in Basey.

The lake remains a key tourist destination despite the absence of organized tour packages especially during hot summer days when its cool mountain climate becomes its allure.

On school days, students are seen visiting the place in busloads. On weekends, local nature lovers look forward to Lake Danao as a favorite getaway. (ormoc.gov)
