Lake Pandin is one of the lakes in the city of San Pablo that is only separated by a narrow strip of land from the it's twin crater lake which is Lake Yambo. They are part of the Seven Lakes system and are bounded by a nearby Mt. Mabilog and surrounded by Mt. Malauban. According to the tourism officer, Pandin is said to be "the most pristine" among the seven lakes with an approximate area of 20.5 hectares and a maximum depth of 63 meters.
For only 360pesos (not sure if it is still the rate after 2 years), you can ride the bamboo raft with a hefty serving of dishes (Tilapia, Shrimp, Buko Juice, Banana etc.).
Lake Pandin reminds me of the movie Lake Placid which was filmed in South America.
How to Get There:
1.) Take a bus bound to Lucena (DLTB or Jac Liner), they have terminals in Cubao and LRT Buendia
2.) Tell the conductor to drop you off in San Pablo City (since, bus were not allowed inside the city you will be drop off at Mahalarlika hiway in San Pablo, you can either ride a trike or take a San Pablo bound jeepneys.
3.) Once in San Pablo, ride a jeep bound for Liliw/Nagcarlan tell the driver to drop you off in Lake Pandin (there's a big signage, and you will be required to walk 300meters to reach the lake)
