Kayangan Lake
Kayangan lake is said to be the cleanest lake in Asia and it's is often  mistaken for PARADISE!

 - Calauit Game Preserve and WIldlife Sanctuary is located on Calauit Island on the North side of Busuanga. This reserve created by Presidential decree in 1976 houses various African species wandering in the wild.It declared as a wildlife sanctuary and game preserve in 1877.

 
The wild animals were imported from Africa in 1970s so as to be saved from extintion. These animals were giraffes, zebras and antelopes






Today, the African animals are wandering around the island and they are increasing.


What to do in Busuanga:
Besides wreck diving you should do some "island hoping". Busuanga has smaller islands in close range, where you can go by boat. If you love to swim you must go to Siete Pecados, where you'll swim in aquariums among fish. Last but not least, you can go horseback riding, mountain biking or even jungle treks.
