Caliraya Mountain Lake Resort formerly known as
Caliraya Springs is located in Brgy. East Talaongan,
Cavinti, Laguna.
You won't see much from the outside...
but you'll be amazed at how big the area it covers upon entry.
You can see that there are
Twin Bicycles (Php 500) and
Mountain Bikes (Php 200) for rent on its drive way. We went pass it because we were excited to try the other activities.
We noticed that the resort is very Korean-friendly. They even have their own registration area.
There are Korean banners everywhere and the restaurants serve Korean dishes.
After our breakfast, we decided to go and try golf.
Golf
As a novice, I really can't tell the difference of one hole from another.
But, that didn't seem to matter since the first step is to learn how to swing. My friend Resley did a pretty good job. I had many attempts before I managed to swing a good one.

Lakeview Swimming Pool
We had our lunch at
La Cucina De Caliraya which is their dining place right beside the pool. We watched the kids swim while we ate.
It's a scenic view to see both the pool and the
Caliraya Lake.
Bonfire
There's a bonfire area near a mini forest and the lake. It was really windy and cool during our visit although it was still noon. So, the bonfire at night would really be a nice warming activity for any group.
Bonfire rate is Php 700. I'm told you can also set up a tent here for functions and sleepovers for a fee.
Pasyal Boat
My friend Clarissa and I headed over to the boat house to wear our life vest and wait for the boat.
The
Pasyal Boat (Small) is for 2,500 php.
Of course, we didn't want just an ordinary pasyal along the
Caliraya Lake. So my friends Martin and Althea, showcased their flexibility.
And,our boatman is their number 1 fan...
Marina
 |
| 40 meter Slide & Drop |
The
Marina is a fun-filled area. It has several courses such as
Slide & Drop,
Cobweb,
Wall Climb Slide,
Tire Challenge,
Cable Balance,
Karate Kid,
Military Crawl,
Tarzan Swing,
Log Crossing and
Palo Sebo. I think all of them are cool especially the
Military Crawl because you have to swim underwater.
Zipline and Hanging Bridge
The
Zipline and Hanging Bridge (Php 150) are packaged together because you have to go back by the bridge.
Paddle Boat
On a fair day, who can resist going on a
Paddle Boat? The
Paddle Boat is available for Php 300/hr.
Kayak
If you prefer Kayaking, it is also available for Php 300/hr.
Animal Caring
A whole new experience for my Clarrisa and I is the
Duck Feeding. The very friendly staff taught us how to call them. It was really fun, funny and yet, very effective. As you can see, the ducks came swimming towards us!
We got 6 bowls of duck feed priced at Php 500. To our amazement, the ducks peck gentle so it tickles.
Amihan Villa
You can stay at the
Amihan Villa that's close to the lake for a great outdoor experience.
As we were trying to find a parking slot, I couldn't help but be surprised that the parking was full and there were so many cars parked. 
The Japanese Garden is a memorial park built by the Japanese government in the 1970s in
order to commemorate the Japanese soldiers who died during the Second
World War which is why you can find the Yamashita Shrine there.
Passing through the convenience stores, we headed on towards the bridge and a huge staircase. When we got up, we were all amazed at how big the area was! It is roughly 11 hectares in total!
Everything was so green. Family, lover and friends can easily find a picnic spot.
