Tinagong Dagat means “hidden sea”. The body of water there is literally secluded by limestone walls. In the middle of the secret bay, there’s an islet which can be accessed via footbridge. And since the place is enclosed, the water there is calm.

One of the highlights of the resort is its 150-meter footbridge/hanging bridge which connects the islet to Latasan or Tinagong Dagat Extension. From there, there are boats available for island hopping. You can also relax and swim to the resort’s fresh and saltwater pools. Read More: http://www.tupanggala.com/tinagong-dagat/

Tinagong Dagat is located in Mt. Mandalagan of Negros Occidental. It is a flat terrain on top of a mountain and was said to be an old crater. The best season to traverse the mountains is during summer between March to May.

It is famously known as “Tinagong Dagat” which means “hidden sea.” Also, originally called and is known by the locals as “Danao” which means “the puddle.” When rainy season comes, the plateau which is also the camp site area becomes a lagoon. The water level reaches knee-deep and can rise to 6-feet high when it rains heavily. When this happens, campers have to move their tents on higher ground. 

Our jump off point is at Sitio Campuestohan, Brgy. Cabatangan, Talisay City, Negros Occidental. Taking the shorter route can take you 4-5 hours of climbing– you need to gear up for a very tiring trek. Another alternative route is in Brgy. Patag, Silay City, Negros Occidental which will take you about 6-8 hours to reach Tinagong Dagat.   Read More: https://www.choosephilippines.com/do/adventures-and-sports/2772/tinagong-dagat-danao
