Detailed travel guide to the Philippines
This time we have come to the beautiful Philippines. Those who like sea activities can have a good look and plan to go there.
Snorkeling equipment
I suggest that bring your own snorkeling equipment, it is better and cleaner, and shop it from Internet is also very convenient. You need snorkeling gear, breathing mask, diving socks, and if you want to take photos, please take with a gopro!
Snorkeling clothes are recommended with long sleeves, it can block sun and protect the marine life. That’s because some of the ingredients we use in sunscreens can cause coral bleaching. Diving socks are for foot protection. When snorkeling, you may step on coral, which is very painful!
Play in Bohol Island
Dolphin watching and Balicasag snorkeling
There are a lot of day trips to sea on the Internet, you can search”day trips” directly son it! The advantage of a day trip is that you can get a car and a guide, and you don’t have to charter a boat.
On the first day, I went to chase the dolphins. Because the dolphins appeared earlier, I set out at 6 o ‘clock that day. First ride to a unified pier, and then take the day’s most important vehicle – crab boat! Fortunately, I saw the dolphins. It’s easy to see the dolphins as long as the weather is not too bad!
After seeing the dolphins, I went snorkeling in Baricassa, which is very famous for its great undersea faults and the scenery of snorkeling or deep diving is especially beautiful!!!
Alona beach
Arona Beach is the whole island’s roundabout beach, very, very long. Here you can see the sunrise, sunset, and walk. This scenery is very beautiful.
In the evening, we were lucky to meet the super beautiful sunset. There are a lot of bars and restaurants at the seaside. You can go there with your friends.
Play in Dumaguete
Oslob whale shark and Squid sardine
We went to Doumargot on the third day. This is actually a small coastal city feeling, the main leisure activities are also sea diving. It was about a two-hour drive from the hotel to Oslob. This is one of the few places where you can go snorkeling to see the whale shark. These whale sharks are not raised in captivity, are lured from their resting places by local fishermen with food. There are some rules: you can not touch the whale sharks, also can not too close, or you will be fined!!
It is still shocked when seeing whale shark! It’s really huge!!But don’t touch it while you’re seeing. Stay away from it.
After seeing the whale shark, I went to MoBao in the afternoon to see the sardine storm which is actually a lot of sardines!
APO Island
This is another island that goes out to sea and snorkeling, and it is called APO Island.
The main feature of this island is to see the big sea turtles, there are so many turtles! But the rest of the ocean floor is mediocre.
