This little known town is blessed with a hidden treasure --a stunning blue lagoon nestled within a mountainside and protectively covered by a forest. Its dark tinge comes from the Pacific sea pouring in from a deep underwater crevice. To local folks, it is said to be enchanted. Full of rich marine fishes swimming in the deep blue, no one is said to have ever caught one. Once you take a dip in the cool, clear waters, you don't want to come out.
Hinatuan can be reached by land from Davao in an estimated 7 hours, or via Bislig City in less than 2 hours. Buses ply the routes too. We thank Surigao del Sur’s Provincial Administrator Johnny Pimentel and wife Liles for the invitation again, Provincial Tourism Officer Ms. Lala Ambray and staff for the marvelous accommodation, and our tour guide/designated driver Jun Tumbokon for the amazing road trip we had over Surigao del Sur’s coastal areas and magnificent places.
