Claveria View Deck Misamis Oriental

While preparing our plane tickets and arranging our day offs from work, I realized that exploring different places during this trip would be unrealistic. Our four‑day stay would mostly be spent on wedding preparations, pictorials, and family gatherings. I had to set aside my excitement about sightseeing and focus on the real purpose of our travel—to witness and support the special day of my brother‑in‑law.

Because of that, I stopped searching for details about the province. I didn’t want to tempt myself with places I might not have the chance to see.

Little did we know, the newly married couple had thoughtfully planned something special for their guests who flew in from different provinces—most of whom, like us, were first‑time visitors. On the last day before our flight, they arranged a whole‑day tour featuring some of the province’s beautiful tourist destinations.

One of the highlights was Claveria View Deck, located along Route 955 in Barangay Lanis. It is about an hour and a half drive, or roughly 80 kilometers, from Balingoan. The scenic journey and breathtaking views made it a perfect way to cap off our short but memorable trip.

The Claveria View Deck is a two‑storey viewing platform that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Balatukan Mountain Range. As you arrive, the lush green landscape immediately welcomes you. I had the same reaction the moment I saw the view for the first time—wow! Is this a painting, or is it real?

The scenery is truly stunning and incredibly relaxing. Standing there, surrounded by nature, felt peaceful and rewarding. It is a beautiful memory that I will always cherish.

No wonder this place is a popular tourist spot—perfect for capturing photos while enjoying the beauty of nature.

You never know if there will be another chance to come back—so be present and enjoy it while you can.

Each visitor can find a peaceful spot to unwind, reflect, and reconnect with nature at the Claveria View Deck.

Another great thing about this place is that it is a non‑smoking area. For non‑smokers, this is a wonderful chance to breathe freely without worrying about the smell of cigarette smoke.

You’ll likely spend at least an hour here, so it’s a good idea to bring your own snacks and drinks. However, if you’re unable to bring any, don’t worry—there is a small store and a mini café available on site.

If you prefer to bring your own food, that’s totally fine too. The management is generous in providing designated areas where guests can enjoy their meals comfortably.

After all, those beautiful experiences are always worth it.
