Ganun pala ung sa dolphin watching part noh. Theres a lot of bangkas on the area and whenever you spotted the dolphins, hahabulin mo sila..parang hide and seek. Nakakainis lang whenever the dolphins are visible on the area, other boats rushed to go near them and not just near, but pupunta mismo sa daanan ng dolphins! ayun, nawawala nanaman..So saglit lang tuloy kami dun then went to Balicasag island for snorkeling.
Balicasag Island
When we arrived at the island, guides directly direct us to those palutuan sa island. If you want to save, better not to hire guide for snorkeling dahil feeling ko e naloko lang kami dun kasi they will charge us for P150 each for the rental of snorkel and mask and another P150 each for the guide. Akala ko kasi malayo pa ung sanctuary yun pala nasa kabilang side lang ng island which is kaya naman lakarin and kaya din languyin ung sanctuary from the shore. We went to the sanctuary via small bangka and maganda nga siya but di ko din naenjoy kasi pumapasok ung tubig sa mask ko..haiizzzz..
We found Nemo!
When we finished snorkeling, we got back in time to eat. Yey! nakakagutom magsnorkeling e..We had this fish, stuffed squid and soup for lunch. Total of P250 each kasama na paluto.
Once your boat docked on the Virgin island, a lot of vendors will sell sea urchins for you to try. P20 each, my friend was napilit by one of the vendors kasi when she lend her hand, nilagay agad nung vendor ung laman sa kamay nia, naawa naman siya so tinry na lang nia..I also tasted it with vinegar and it was ok lang naman..medyo slimmy lang..
Virgin Island
Adventure ang padpunta dito because of low tide. The boatmen where forced to push the boat kasi di pwede paandarin ang makina. Ang daming starfish!! ^_^ Ang dami ding sea urchins..:S Nakapagswimming lang kami sa pinaka end ng island, madami kasing seaweeds sa ibang part kaya di din ideal..There are also some vendors selling fresh coconut and banana cue sa island.
We had our dinner at Alona beach. Van service from Dumaluan to Alona is P400 :( since malayo ang terminal ng tricycle sa Dumaluan. When we went back to Dumaluan dapat mag tricycle nalang kami kaso P250 ang singil and 7 kami!!! Grabe! So we just hired a car nalang P300 ata un.. I'll post our tabulated expenses on my last day blog..Medyo nagexcess kami sa budget cause of this transpo and foods lang naman..
