Kayangan Lake itself is a mix of about 70% freshwater and 30% saltwater. The water is remarkably clear and the underwater rock formations are quite a sight to see, making it a paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts. The lake is surrounded by majestic limestone cliffs that provide a stunning backdrop to the serene waters.

The turquoise water of the lagoon is both salty and chilly, owing to its mixture of warm sea water and cool freshwater that comes from an underground source. This produces a peculiar thermocline effect, where you can feel warm sea water on the surface and colder freshwater underneath.
