11 Places to Visit in Lake Sebu + Things To Do

Take a breather from the hustle of city life and travel to Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, a charming town where the T’boli and Ubo tribes thrive. A culture trip to this municipality lets you in on the local lifestyle, particularly their bead making, brass casting, and wood carving heritage. More than those, Lake Sebu is also one of the Philippines’ prime eco-tourism destinations.

The center of attraction in Lake Sebu is, of course, the lake. It’s a great place to cruise around in a canoe early morning to catch the sunrise and enjoy the mood-enhancing views of the surrounding mountains and rainforests. Beyond the lake, including its little islets, you must not miss the Seven Waterfalls, a magnificent network of waterfalls, each with a character of its own. You can only have the best view of these waterfalls via the Seven Falls zipline, the highest in Southeast Asia. It’s the most popular attraction for those who can brave getting suspended 180 meters from the ground.

Lake Sebu may be a far-flung town, but it’s a destination worthy of squeezing in when you travel to General Santos City or Davao City. It will make your trip even more meaningful.

Lake Sebu Travel Guide: Experience the Culture of T’Boli Tribe

Welcome to Lake Sebu

Perched in the highlands of South Cotabato is the town of Lake Sebu , home to the indigenous T’boli and Ubo tribes and an emerging eco-tourism and adventure destination in Southern Mindanao.

Known for its majestic waterfalls, lakes, rivers and springs, and with its rich biodiversity and culture, Lake Sebu is starting to hit big in the tourism landscape of the region. Its main attractions include Lake Sebu, the biggest of the three lakes that dot the town and an important watershed in the region being the source of water of the provinces of South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat.

Aside from the lake, tourists also troop to this part of Mindanao to see the waterfalls in Barangay Siloton. A total of seven majestic waterfalls with the water coming from the outflows of the Lakes Sebu and Siloton. The first two waterfalls are easily accessible to tourists while the others require trekking. But the best way to see these waterfalls is by riding a zipline that passes above five of them!

Lake Sebu and the T’boli Dream Weavers

• Post author By Project Gora
• Post date January 8, 2024

Lake Sebu was the last stop of our visit to South Cotabato for the Sustainable Community-Based Tourism Recognition (SCBTR) by the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), the marketing arm of the Department of Tourism (DoT). Together with the TPB people and sustainable tourism assessors, we set out to Lake Sebu to get to know the T’boli People .

Table of Contents

Lake Sebu School of Living Traditions (SLT)

Lang dulay weaving center, punta isla lake resort, overall experience, lake sebu and t’boli people.

The T’boli are an Indigenous People (IPs) native to South Cotabato, living around the mystical Lake Sebu. Located in Southern Mindanao in the Philippines, the T’boli are recognised for their remarkable T’nalak weaves. Their distinctive weaving technique is characterized by tribal designs and patterns passed through their dreams, earning them the title “ Dream Weavers .” This sacred weaving practice represents not just Mindanao’s rich cultural heritage, but all of the Philippines.

Fun fact: Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray wore various T’nalak outfits during the competition.

See photos here: PH culture, textiles take spotlight in Catriona Gray’s Miss Universe outfits

The Lake Sebu School of Living Traditions (SLT) is a humble cultural center that promotes eco-tourism and T’boli traditions. Established by  Maria “Oyog” Todi , the informal learning center, which is also a humble homestay, helps to preserve the T’boli culture and tradition. Here children and adults get to immerse and learn about T’boli’s rich cultural heritage by being introduced to various T’boli musical instruments (you can also learn how to play!), T’nalak, the T’boli sacred cloth, intricately designed T’boli accessories and ornaments, and so much more.

As a first time visitor in Lake Sebu, I feel like going to SLT is the very first thing any tourist should do. It’s a great introduction to Lake Sebu and of course, the T’boli.

If you ever find yourself in Lake Sebu, find Maria “Oyog” Todi.  I did not expect that I would meet such an empowering and inspirational woman in a tribe where there is a strong male dominance. Besides being a mother of four, she devoted her life to preserving T’boli culture and making sure it will be carried on by the next generation. She is an advocate of T’boli women and children’s rights, and at a time where speaking out as a feminist in a public position could be dangerous, she she stood up and became an inspiration to her fellow T’boli. Maria “Oyog” Todi truly embodies what it means to be a strong and empowered woman. 

The second stop of our visit to Lake Sebu was the Lang Dulay Weaving Center , a weaving center established by Lang Dulay , a recipient of National Living Treasures Award, alternatively known as the Gawad sa Manlilikha ng Bayan, given by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). Known as “The Dream Weaver,” Lang Dulay showed outstanding craftsmanship and excellence that are unparalleled even after her death in 2015. Through her passion and dedication in passing down this rich cultural heritage to the youth, hundreds of her T’nalak designs were preserved and intellectual-property patented. 

Charlie Dulay, the grandson of Lang Dulat, told us that T’nalk weaving is a very tedious process and requires much dedication, patience, creativity and a good memory. Their designs and patterns are inspired by their dreams, which is said to be passed on by their ancestors, and are transferred onto abaca fabric using the Ikat weaving method ; which refers to the dyeing technique used before weaving takes place on the fabric. According to him, it takes approximately three to six months to finish a roll of T’nalak, depending on the complexity of the design.

The last stop of our Lake Sebu tour was Punta Isla Lake Resort, where we had an awesome view of the lake and a sumptuous lunch aboard a floating restaurant. Here we got to try out unique Tilapia dishes like Chicharon Tilapia, Sinanglay na Tilapia and Sisig na Tilapia. I enjoyed the 45-minute cruise especially because the T’boli host gave us interesting facts about the lake and different perspective since we are right in the middle of it. 

Visiting Lake Sebu, meeting Maria “Oyog” Todi and getting a closer look to the T’nalak weaving process at the Lang Dulay Weaving Center were some of the best experiences I had in South Cotabato. The fact that so many Filipino and foreign tourists were afraid to go due to security concerns and the onslaught of commercialism and modern culture are real threat to the T’boli. Being nominated as a Sustainable Tourism Destination during the Sustainable Community-Based Tourism Recognition (SCBTR) by the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), hopefully will help the tribe’s cultural and economic survival. 

If you ask me if I ever felt unsafe at any point on my visit to Lake Sebu, NO I did not. Would I go there as a solo female traveler? YES. Especially now that I know just how many amazing sights I will see in this region. I would probably stay at the homestay (Lake Sebu School of Living Traditions) and spend time with Maria “Oyog” Todi and her family. I would also like to see the majestic Lake Sebu 7 falls and of course, to eat Chicharon Tilapia again!

The lake spans an area of around 354 hectares, with its waters fed by natural springs and a complex river system that contributes to its rich aquatic ecosystem. The surrounding landscape is marked by its volcanic soil, courtesy of the ancient eruptions of the nearby Mt. Parker, which has contributed to the fertility of the land and the lushness of the surrounding vegetation. This fertile land supports a diverse array of flora, from towering hardwood trees to rare and exotic orchids, creating a verdant paradise that surrounds the lake.

Beyond its natural beauty, Lake Sebu’s geographical setting plays a crucial role in the culture and livelihood of the indigenous communities that inhabit the area. The lake and its surrounding forests are not just a source of inspiration for the T’boli tribe’s art and traditions but also provide essential resources for their sustenance and craft.

The T’boli have a profound respect for the natural world, which is reflected in their sustainable practices and the reverence with which they treat their surroundings.

T’nalak Weaving: A Symbol of Cultural Identity

The art of T’nalak weaving, practiced exclusively by the women of the tribe, is a defining element of T’boli culture. This intricate process involves transforming the abaca fiber into a tapestry of meaningful patterns, each telling stories of dreams, traditions, and the weavers’ connections to their ancestral lands. The T’nalak cloth is not merely a material object but a sacred emblem of the T’boli’s cultural identity, embodying the spirit of Lake Sebu and its people.

The Role of Lake Sebu in T’boli Mythology and Spirituality

The spiritual connection of the T’boli to Lake Sebu is profound, with the lake and its surrounding natural features playing pivotal roles in their mythology and spiritual practices. The T’boli believe in a harmonious coexistence with the natural world, guided by respect for the spirits that dwell in the forests, mountains, and waters of Lake Sebu. This spiritual relationship underscores the importance of the lake not just as a physical location but as a sacred space that nurtures the tribe’s spiritual wellbeing.

Modern Challenges and Cultural Resilience

In the face of modernization and environmental challenges, the cultural significance of Lake Sebu is more important than ever. The T’boli community, with support from various sectors, is engaged in efforts to preserve their cultural heritage while navigating the complexities of the modern world.

Supporting Local and Cultural Sustainability

Sustainable tourism in Lake Sebu also means supporting initiatives that ensure the cultural sustainability of the T’boli community. This includes promoting and preserving traditional crafts, such as T’nalak weaving, and supporting cultural festivals and events that showcase the T’boli heritage. By valuing and protecting these cultural expressions, sustainable tourism contributes to the resilience of the T’boli culture, allowing it to thrive and be appreciated by future generations.

Building Awareness and Advocacy

LAKE SEBU TRAVEL GUIDE: “The Land of the Dreamweavers” (2022 Budget & Itineray)

Lake Sebu in South Cotabato shelters a number of the best majestic waterfalls and stunning lakes in the country. Dubbed as the Land of the Dreamweavers , the rich culture and impressive traditions of the T’boli tribe can be found in the foot of the mountains. A Lake Sebu trip will invite you to a day of chasing waterfalls, diving into the T’boli culture and learning the traditions in this beautiful province. Above all, you will specially fall in love with the locals itself. Let’s get to know more about South Cotabato’s gems through this Lake Sebu Travel Guide!

In my 3 years continuous journey of trying to explore all the 81 provinces in the Philippines, so far, Lake Sebu of South Cotabato left me a huge mark in my heart. To explore the nooks and crannies with my own eyes surely validated Catriona Gray’s impression to this province. As to her, South Cotabato is her favorite destination in the Philippines and I cannot see why it won’t be.

About Lake Sebu in South Cotabato

To give you a bit of information, Lake Sebu in the province of South Cotabato is surrounded by huge mountains and vast lakes. As a result, Lake Sebu lies in a land of serene atmosphere brought by the healthy nature surrounding it and the locals maintaining a clean atmosphere as well. Getting around Lake Sebu is my favorite part during our SOCCSKSARGEN trip in Mindanao last March 2020. Honestly, it did me a huge favor of indulging myself once again with the beauty of nature in our country.

A 7-waterfall zipline experience, neighboring waterfalls, the T’boli tribe and their culture, impressive South Cotabato delicacies and the wonderful locals to complete the package. These are just some of the prominent list of things to do and see here. And yes! I couldn’t agree more that this is one of the most serene places I’ve been to in the country!

Fun Fact: Did you know that South Cotabato is Philippines’ Ms. Universe 2018 Catriona Gray’s favorite destination in the country?

Land of the Dreamweavers

T’nalak fabric is a traditional craft that can be found in the T’boli tribe of South Cotabato. This fabric features unique designs of 2 main colors (red and black) which are inspired from the dreams of women weavers. Hence, the brand “Land of the Dreamweavers” .

In addition, the province celebrates the T’nalak Festival every month of July to pay tribute of its foundation and anniversary.

When in Lake Sebu, don’t forget to include Lang Dulay Weaving Center in your trip to learn more about T’nalak and witness how it is manually created by the locals.

The T’boli Tribe in Lake Sebu

The T’boli tribe is my personal interest before coming to this beautiful place. Just like the ethnic group of Igorots in Ifugao, the Tausug in Tawi-Tawi and the Ati People in Aklan, I have developed a personal interest in diving to different ethnic cultures in our country.

Learning about the different ethnic groups in our country and getting the chance to experience their culture and traditions gives me genuine happiness. As a result, I make it to a point to include exploring these ethnic groups. Probably the best way to do this is to attend their festivals!

Furthermore, did you know that you can rent T’Boli costumes when you go to Lake Sebu? Yes! It’s possible and it’s also the best way to get to know more about the ethnic group.

The T’boli costume for men is made out of T’nalak fabric while the costume for women is made out of 2 colors (red and black) paired with a malong and partnered with the colorful beads for the accessories.

How to get there

The closest airport to get to South Cotabato is in General Santos City (GES). Book a flight from Manila to General Santos, from the airport ride a taxi going to the van terminal. Subsequently, ride a van headed straight to Lake Sebu. The last trip of the van going straight to Lake Sebu is 4 :00 PM and sometimes 5:00 PM.

Alternatively, if there are no vans available that will take you directly to Lake Sebu, ride a van going to Marbel. The travel time is 1 hour and the fare is PHP90.00. From Marbel, transfer to another van going to Lake Sebu. The travel time is roughly an hour and the fare is PHP80.00.

Tip : If you will stay in SLT Homestay, advise the van driver to drop you off in SLT Homestay.

The 7-Waterfall Zipline

A must-try activity when in Lake Sebu! The 7-waterfall zipline in South Cotabato is regarded to as South-East Asia’s highest zipline . The amazing sights includes the 7 waterfalls and it will be the best 40 seconds zipline of your life! With the breath-taking view of the forests and the waterfalls, this zipline is truly worth it!

To share our experience with you, we were lucky enough to see a rainbow on top of the first waterfalls during our zipline experience. It was surreal! The experience in totality gave me goosebumps and I can still remember the breath-taking view from above. It was like flying with a bird’s eye view.

Visit Lang Dulay Weaving Center

Lang Dulay weaving center in South Cotabato is like the Apo Wang Od Buscalan Village in Kalinga. Lang Dulay is famously known for making the T’nalak – a traditional fabric made by the T’boli tribe. To give you a bit of information, T’nalak is the main fabric used and made in South Cotabato. There are 32 steps to create a T’nalak and takes about 3-4 months for the whole process to finish. Moreover, there are 120 total designs made by the weavers and the 2 main colors are red and black. You may buy T’nalak here for souvenir.

Check out the Lotus Flower in the Morning

One of the most special part of our trip is the Lotus Flower. Remember that the best time to go here is as early as 7:00 in the morning until 9:00 AM. The Lostus flowers bloom at this time of the day and closes when the sun is up or beyond 9:00 in the morning. Hence, this should be the first part of your itinerary for the day.

Bathe in T’Daan Kini Falls

If you want a re-freshening bath during the whole day tour, you can bathe in T’Daan Kini Falls. This small falls with a stream is a perfect place to chill and relax. Make sure to bring extra clothes with you if you’re planning to dip in the stream which I highly recommend.

Entrance Fee: PHP20.00/pax

See the breathtaking view from the Divine Mercy Shrine

An overlooking view of the mountains is what you can expect at the Divine Mercy Shrine. There is no entrance fee here but you have to observe proper attire in the area. Sleeveless or short skirts are not allowed. Alternatively, there are shawls available to borrow if you are not in a proper attire.

Watch the sunset in an overlooking view at Evelandia Resort

Watching the skies change from blue to pinkish orange is the perfect way to end a whole day trip in Lake Sebu. And the best place to do this is in Evelandia Resort. This includes a magnificent view of Lake Sebu from up in the mountains.

Entrance Fee: PHP30.00/pax

Must try food in Lake Sebu

This Lake Sebu Travel Guide will not be complete without a must-try food in the tourist destination. Since this place is surrounded by lakes, the main dish is tilapia fish. Don’t forget to try chicharong tilapia here! This is honestly so good and tasty.

Where to find this? In our experience, we were able to see this in the menu in almost all restaurants we came to. But, we were able to try it in the restaurant located in Divine Mercy where we had our lunch. It’s about PHP250.00 – PHP350.00 per serving which is good for 3 – 5 people.

How did you manage to have time to visit all these places? Hmmm... but it's a nice feat man.

Are there public transports from the nearby Maitum, Sarangani to Lake Sebu? Or the mountainous area doesn't allow it? I'll be visiting the Pawikan Sanctuary first in Maitum before going to Lake Sebu. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info!

Travel Guide: Why Lake Sebu Should Be On Your Bucket List

by carrentaldavao | Jun 11, 2020 | Blog - Car Rental Davao | 0 comments

A place fringed by forests and mountains overlooking the placid lakes is the town of Lake Sebu, a rising eco-tourism, cultural tourism and adventure destination in Southern Mindanao. It is home to the indigenous T’boli and Ubo tribes — which make up 55 percent of its population — and is also known as the “Land of Dream Weavers,” simply because of its proud and celebrated T’nalak tapestry.

Lake Sebu offers bounteous and ravishing landscapes that are all sights to behold — a place worthy to be added on your bucket list. From its lush, virgin forests, abundant biodiversity, rich and diverse culture of its native tribes, the kindness of its people also makes Lake Sebu a fairytale-like experience. It offers not only its peace and beauty, but also the thrill that will satisfy our adventurous self.

How to get to Lake Sebu:

Car Rental Davao will make everything seamless for you as you can get there by renting a vehicle from us . We offer everything from sedan to SUV to vans, all high-quality but cheap rental cars. For tourists, we can arrange an airport car rental for you. Meaning, you’d have the unit picked up or delivered at the city airport. If you are already in Davao, we can also have it dropped off at your preferred location — just make sure to let us know in advance.

Now, to get to Lake Sebu, you have to drive for an estimated time of 4 hours — that is from Davao city proper to the municipality of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato. But worry not because while on the road, you will be passing beautiful sceneries and experience peaceful travel away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Once you enter the municipality of Surallah, South Cotabato, you will be greeted by the Tri-People Monument, Surallah’s cultural landmark, which pays tribute to the tri-people living in the area namely the T’bolis, Muslims, and the Christian settlers.

From Surallah, it will just take you few minutes to arrive at the municipality of Lake Sebu wherein the smell of fresh air, birds chirping and beautiful forests will welcome you.

Things to do in Lake Sebu

Lake Sebu offers numerous exciting and thrilling adventures to its visitors. And for a hassle-free and comfortable experience, reserve a unit from Car Rental Davao , either in a short or long term car rental.

Now, let’s get started with the must-visit attractions and must-try activities in Lake Sebu. First, you should visit the seven majestic falls namely Hikong Alo, Hikong Bente, Hikong B’Lebel, Hikong Lowig, Hikong Ukol, Hikong K’Fo-I and Hikong Tonok. You can ride a zip-line here to get a birds-eye view of the entire region.

Trust me, your whole Lake Sebu trip will be a total waste of time and money if you will not try zip-lining. Consider this a must-try and one of the highlights of your trip. While on it, you will surely feel a surge of emotions — and that is normal.

At first, you will be anxious when the staff dangles you. But once you are already up there, you’ll feel relieved, excited and euphoric at the same time. The feeling that you are above the gorgeous scenic view of Lake Sebu will eliminate all your doubts, hesitations and fears.

Scream when it’s necessary.  That will definitely help you get through your emotions. Or cry if you see the need to. Others who went zip-lining with me chose to do that, not because they were afraid, but because they were overjoyed with the entire adrenaline-fueled experience. No words can describe the emotions you’ll feel while zip-lining. It’s a 60-second bliss. If given the chance to try it again, without any hesitation I will do it.

If you want more adventures, you can also do trekking and wander around the virgin forests following the trail to see up close the diverse beauty of fauna and flora and some of the majestic seven falls. Hear the sounds of nature — the macaques laughing, insects buzzing, and the bubbling streams and crumbling of waters from near waterfalls. A rather bizarre orchestra, I know, but these sounds create a symphony that will not just uplift your spirits but will also make you rediscover your purpose in life.

What’s more, you can also experience the Wooden Canoe Lake Cruise by paying a very affordable price of P500. A single canoe can fit at least three people, so if you’re with a group of friends, you can share a ride with them.

And, of course, you should never leave the region without experiencing the rich culture of the T’boli and Ubo tribes. Be delighted by the delicacies, dances, rituals, and practices unique to each tribe. One of the famous weaving techniques in the Philippines originated from T’boli tribe – the T’nalak weaving. See the process of weaving with your very own eyes and be amazed by how they weave the T’nalak.
