CALIRAYA RECREATION CENTER

After a long month of preparation, at last we had a chance to spend our long weekend vacation on this place, my friends from work including their families went to the Asia’s First and Finest Christian Resort namely the Caliraya Re-creation Center. Though its only overnight but it was all worth it.

CALIRAYA LAKE

Caliraya Re-creation Center is located at Barangay Lewin, Lumban Laguna, 15 Km-long man-made lake owned by the National Power Corporation and used for hydroelectric power generation. It is 7.6 hectares of lush greenery that offers fun-filled activities that will surely provide fond memories for both learning institutions and family gatherings. The lake is about 290 m above the sea leavel and the Caliraya Re-creation center property rises with a gradual slope of 30 m higher and commands a spectacular view of the lake and surrounding mountains such as Mr. Banahaw and Mt. Cristobal and Mt. Makiling.

DUPLEX ROOM

It was fascinating on how they were able to create a recreation center on top of a mountain and to create a lake to give a very serene ambiance. To reach the resort everybody must ride a ferryboat w/c will take for about 5minutes.As we reach the resort, there is a jeep that will brought us to the Dining area of the resort, we are given a sumptuous dinner meal (buffet) and after we ate we went to our duplex room located near at the lake. Some of my friends are too excited to try all the activities that the resort can offer, since we arrived late at night at the resort, some of us decided to try the night swimming w/c is open until 11pm only, water is not bad because it was warm w/c makes us very relaxing.

The next day we woke up as early as we want too, in order for us to do all the remaining activities. As I open the door, it was nice to see the lake in front of our room, cool breeze, greenery surroundings, sunshine, bird sound, enjoy the sun and wind, really an ideal place for winding down after all that hectic and fast-pace life in the city.

MARTI on SLIDE PINOY

CAROL on WALL CLIMBING

First activities that we have tried is the Pinoy Slide, and it is quite fun and surely the kids will love it. After these, we rode a jeep going to the dining area of the resort for our breakfast and again it was a buffet Pinoy & American style breakfast. After taking some rest on our heavy breakfast, it’s time to continue and enjoy the fun! fun! activities.

NOEL & JOEY on JETSKI

MARICEL on FLY PINOY

We pay all the activities at the registration area such as Jetski, Wall Climbing, Rapelling, Fly Pinoy (zipline version of the resort), unfortunately as much as we want to try the wakeboard they are requiring us to hire a speedboat w/c is very expensive, we also want to try the Airsoft but it was not available that time. We also enjoyed the pool & mudslide. Overall, it was fun.
