Start with GenSan’s specialty: fresh tuna (sashimi/tuna tapa) and rice at the fish market or a nearby tuna grill to taste why the city is the Tuna Capital; markets open very early (often 5:00am onward).
Leave Gensan and drive north toward Tupi; travel time is about 1h–1h30m depending on traffic — this keeps the route moving north into the highland farms.
Check out roadside fruit stands and small pineapple/strawberry farms around Tupi; sample local produce and buy fresh fruit. Farms and stalls are typically open 8:00am–5:00pm.
Have lunch at a lakeside eatery or your chosen resort (Punta Isla Resort and similar properties have lakeshore dining). Try freshwater fish and local vegetable dishes. Many restaurants serve from 11:00am–2:00pm and again for dinner.
Check into your resort (common check-in around 2:00pm) and drop bags — options range from budget guesthouses to mid-range resorts like Punta Isla (confirm booking ahead).
Take the classic Lake Sebu boat ride (motorized dugout boats) that links the lake to several waterfalls (Seven Falls area). Boat services generally operate about 8:00am–4:30pm; arrive early enough to catch the scheduled boats.
Visit a T'boli weaving stall or cultural demonstration near the lake to see traditional abaca weaving and songs; wrap the afternoon with a lakeside viewpoint sunset photo. Cultural shows/demos often happen in the late afternoon.
Enjoy dinner at your resort or a nearby restaurant; pick local specialties (fresh fish, grilled dishes) and relax after a full day. Resorts typically serve dinner from 6:00pm–9:00pm.
Catch sunrise over the lake with a short walk and coffee at your resort; many guests head out early for peaceful lakeside photos. Resorts typically open breakfast from 6:00am but early coffee is usually available.
Head to the Seven Falls zipline facility to register and prepare; zipline operations typically open around 8:00am and run through the afternoon, but hours vary — book or confirm slot in advance.
Experience the zipline(s) across the falls for sweeping views of the waterfalls and valley; prices and number of lines vary (single/dual lines available). Operators generally run clients 8:00am–4:00pm but can change due to weather.
Drop in at a T'boli cultural center to see intricate weaving (t'nalak) and buy authentic textiles; most centers are open roughly 8:00am–5:00pm and support local artisans.
Sample Koronadal specialties and street foods at the public market or a local carinderia; markets and eateries are typically busiest and open mid-day (10:00am–2:00pm).
Take a short stroll through the city plaza and nearby market for souvenirs and local snacks; keep this short to make the return trip to Gensan comfortable.
If you finish the return trip earlier, enjoy a farewell dinner in Gensan — try a tuna specialty restaurant for sashimi, grill, or sisig near the city center (dinner hours typically 5:00pm–9:00pm).
End of the 2-day loop: drop-off at your accommodation or transport hub in General Santos. If you need onward transport (flight/bus), allow extra time for check-in.
