T'daan Kini Falls is a small waterfall fed by a cold spring in Barangay Lamlahak. The water gathers in a natural pool below the drop, which locals describe as one of the coldest swimming spots in Lake Sebu. From Sitio Talubek it is a short walk of 10 to 15 minutes, though some visitors arrive after a longer trek from the main road. Cottages and a small entrance gate make it an easy add-on to the Seven Falls and Lake Sebu loop.
