WHALE WATCHING IN CAMIGUIN ISLAND
Rate: P7,500/head
Date: March 31 to April 4 (leaves Manila at March 31, 3PM)
According to a made by World Wildlife Fund – Philippines, whales and dolphins breed, feed and play in the seas around the Babuyan Group of Islands during the summer. There are 14 species of cetaceans that visit the islands. They include spotted dolphins, spinner dolphins, rough-toothed dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, Fraser’s dolphins, melon-headed whales, pilot whales, pygmy killer whales, dwarf sperm whale and the humpback whale (the most commonly seen).
The 164-sq. km. Camiguin Island has an active, 793-m. high volcano. Offshore is a wreck of a World War II ship in about 30 ft. of water.
Depending on time and weather, side trips may include:
- Didicas Island. Located east of Camiguin Island, this 244-m. high island was formerly shown on maps as Didicas Rocks until a submarine volcano erupted in 1952 to form the island. It last erupted in 1969.
- Calayan Island. The island offers three marvels: the gorgeous Sibang Cove which has a long stretch of white sand beach, healthy coral reef, moss-laden cliffs and emerald waters; the Bataraw Falls; and Calayan rail, a flightless bird of the rail, moorhen, and coot family.
- Palaui Island. Cape Engaño, patterned after Cape Bojeador in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, Siwangag Cove and the two waterfalls within the island, make the island a very interesting destination. From the outskirts of Sta. Ana, Cagayan, the white beach in Anguib and the mangrove forest are both worthy to visit.
Inclusions: 4D/3N accommodation, Manila-Cagayan-Manila transportation, 11 meals (4 breakfast, 4 lunch, 3 dinner), boat, guide and entrance fees
