action-packed weekend in bicol

i just came from a weekend in bicol, where i ziplined at lignon hill and went swimming with whale sharks in donsol. until now, i find it hard to digest that i was able to do all that in one weekend.

i'm still waiting for the photos of the butanding interaction from the underwater camera to be processed, but in the meantime, i'll leave you with this video of me ziplining at lignon hill in bicol:




i kinda look like a ghost floating over the trees, no? :p

i gotta go! said...

i had the diving guide take photos, since it was already a struggle for me to swim with the whale sharks. :) will post the pics here as soon as they're processed. :)

Hi! I'm planning to go to Donsol too. Can you please provide some details of your trip like places to stay, transpo, how to get there, expenses (most important!) :) plus other helpful stuff you can think of. Thanks!

hi jax!

since there were 15 of us, we all just decided to rent a jeepney to shuttle us to wherever we want to go.

but i did some research, and from legazpi, you can take a van to donsol from the legazpi bus terminal. :)

butanding interaction costs P3,500 per boat, good for 6 people, and already includes diving guides, and you need to pay P100 for the registration. snorkels, masks, and fins cost P350 to rent.

as for resorts, we stayed at a friend's house in sto. domingo, so i can't really tell which resort is good. you can check out http://www.donsolresorts.com/ for more info. :)

hope that helps. :D
