​A nice day trip to do

Grab a pedicab to Sibulan from the wet market in Dumaguete. Fare PHP 12 per person. Get off at Sibulan near the port. From there take a Habal Habal to the drop off point for Puncak Tanawan. Expect to pay the driver of the Habal Habal around PHP 30-50 per person. Total travel time from Dumaguete to the drop off point is around 40-60 minutes depending on the traffic. From the drop off point you will hike for around 90 minutes before you reach the Puncak Tanawan.

Rewarded with an astonishing view

It's relatively steep uphill but nothing special if you are relatively fit. Height over the sea level is around 750 m. Once at the summit, you will in clear weather be rewarded with an astonishing view over the sea and the nearby islands. There is like a little café where you can buy water, coffee and biscuits if you need to refuel some energy. With some coffee and bisquits you can then enjoy the quietness and beauty of the nature.
