Twin Lagoon

Twin Lagoon’s karst-separated bays are a testament to Coron’s natural grandeur. As your boat docks on one of the lagoons, it’s easy to assume that that’s all there is, but through a crevice on the limestone wall appears another slice of paradise. Get to the hidden bay via a wooden ladder or swim through the gap at the bottom of the rock (only during low tide). The clear waters of Twin Lagoon give unobstructed views of the aquatic life underneath. Find fish swimming in and out of anemones, living corals, and an occasional turtle as you travel through the water.

Lake Tamblingan

One of the three lakes formed from a calder and part of Mount Lesung. The name derives from "tamba", the balinese word for medicine. A great spot to enjoy the sunrise, the steep descent on the north shore offers countless trekking opportunities, winding through mesmerizing jungle and waterfalls. The flat south shore is home to numerous shore-front temples, beautifully untouched by the touristy gimmicks found in more iconic locations.

Lake Baikal

Day 3, The world rushes past my window. We're in Siberia, the vast expanse of Lake Baikal stretches to the horizon. Been reading about the lake: it's 20 million years old and contains one-fifth of the world's fresh water supplies. Most interestingly three-quarters of all the species found in its icy depths are located nowhere else on earth. Just imagine all the species they HAVEN'T found...
