Tourist Spot In The Philippines

While it only takes a ten-minute boat ride to get to Samal Island from Davao City, the trip to Talikud Island takes around 30-45 minutes, but it is well worth the trip.

Isla Reta’s beach is breathtaking! The sand is powdery and light brown to dirty white, and as you near the water, pebbles and bleached broken corals line the beach. The water is cool, invigorating and crystal clear.

If you are planning to spend some time there, don't forget your snorkeling gear so you can take a look at the splendid various marine life and growing young corals there.

On Isla Reta you won’t find any luxury restaurants or hotels. It is just a simple white-sand beachfront spot. This is a tropical vacation idea where you can relax your mind and body with nature’s paradise.

Tourists also flock frequently to the nearby Taal Vista Lodge to watch ethnic dance performances and take photos against the magnificent backdrop of the calm lake. Several golf courses and country clubs in the area also offer different types of sports and recreation for local members, including horse-back riding, hiking, and other outdoor activities.

The Guides head up river with paddles at first, but as we reach the first set of minor rapids we get a glimpse of the technique they are know for. The guides are on one knee. The other leg out of the boat and they propel the boat by pushing off with this leg from one rock to the next it is SO COOL.

While watching this it is easy to miss the fact that you have enter a jungle canyon. Every 50 meters there is a small waterfall shooting from one side or the other of the canyon from far above. Once again, SO COOL.

After more rapids and more small falls, you reach the star of the show - a somewhat large and entirely beautiful waterfall shooting for the side. We pulled aside, exited the boat and enjoyed the water and view. So Cool.

Visitors can purchase small marble items made locally including eggs, animal figurines and chess sets. Also in Romblon for the more adventurous is Mt. Guiting-guiting which is located on Sibuyan Island, the second largest in the Romblon province.

It rises approximately 6725 feet from above level and is a trial for mountain climbers of all skills because of its rocky ridges. In addition to going up, the level area contains beautiful rivers and waterfalls as well as beaches that have not yet been over run with tourists.

This is a great spot for a family vacation. Right next to the marina you can go swimming on a beautiful beach with you’re kids. Down the road there is the recreational garden area, Paco Park and also the historical and scenic Rizal Park. No matter what, there is plenty of do and you won’t regret visiting Manila Ocean Park. This Philippine vacation idea will leave with a fun filled day and you will become educated in marine life!
