Mambukal Resort boating lagoon
Being one of the top tourist destinations in Negros Occidental, Mambukal Resort offers various outdoor activities for its guests. If you’ve been countless times to this mountain resort and have already experienced being immersed in the steaming hot dipping pool, dropped by the Butterfly Garden, or trekked all the way up to the seventh waterfalls, then there are other activities that you might try for a change. For instance, boating at the lagoon can be your next target if you have an upcoming trip to Mambukal. Boat rental is Php50.00 for 15 minutes. However, if you’re not into boating and just want to have a relaxing stay in the resort and being with nature, the boating lagoon provides a peaceful and scenic view to enjoy.
The boating lagoon is one of Mambukal’s main attractions, whether resort guests are taking a stroll alongside the lagoon, sitting in their picnic huts, looking over from the cottage balcony or sitting at one of the benches nearby.
The calm and refreshing view the lagoon offers is one of the reasons why Mambukal Resort is one of the province’s cheap weekend breaks. Located in the municipality of Murcia, the resort is an ideal getaway with just about 45 minutes drive from Bacolod City.
The boating experience was an unforgettable one for our group as a sudden heavy downpour surprised us just as our boat was in the middle of the lagoon.
We were all soaked and laughing our hearts out as our boat moved around amidst the rain. We didn’t know how to use the oars and our boat kept moving to the shore so one of the resort staff jumped in to rescue us from the sides and helped maneuver the boat around.
Aside from boating, there are other resort activities for those who prefer some challenge – wall climbing (Php25.00), canopy walk (Php50.00) and Slide for Life (Php100.00/2 trips).
