Isla Jardin Del Mar | Gumasa, Saranggani & Sta. Cruz Sidetrip

-

Last May 12, 2016 we took a visit to Isla Jardin Del Mar in Saranggani Province. Saranggani Province is well known for its beaches and, of course, tuna! Saranggani Province is about 4-5 hours from Davao City.

This is the second time I visited Gumasa. The first time was in White Haven Resort. This time, we went to Isla Jardin del Mar for an overnight stay. This resort is far from the communities unlike the other resorts. It looks high end compared to the first resort I've been but it also is affordable. Here are some of the photos I took in the resort.




















The beach is filled with marine life. The kids even caught fishes.


And rich and corals! Look! :)


After the beach, we went to GenSan to buy fish and we decided to visit our colleague's house in Sta. Cruz. They also have a river near them. Rivers in rural areas are clean unlike the rivers we see in the cities.

We also had buko and saba. Yummy! :)



Found and rode a horse on the way. Hahaha. Ignorant city peeps.

The journey to the river.

The cold and clean river. So refreshing!




Location: Sarangani, Philippines

LaSwitan | Cortes, Surigao Del Sur

Just when we thought that Surigao is just made up of beautiful beaches, caves and falls.. We found something extraordinary. Our driver during the Sohoton Trip told us that we could take a look at a place called LaSwitan. To my curiosity, I took a look at it on YouTube and found this. The waves of the Pacific Ocean slaps the large rocks and the water is caught inside like a basin and forms a pool. Amazing, isn't it? So from Hayanggabon Port, we had lunch and at around 2 PM we took the journey to Cortes. From Cortes, we rode a muddy and rocky 7 km road to LaSwitan. Unfortunately, we weren't able to reach it in High tide. So we didn't witness what can be seen in the video. :( So we took photos and climbed the rocks instead. By the way, what we did was actually not allowed. We didn't know it was illegal until we were done with it. Hehehe. It was scary though. The rocks are very sharp and slippery, if you fall on the other side, there's  a chance you might no...

BuDa Tour 2018

Are you looking for a place away from the busy hustle and bustle of the Davao City? Are you looking for a place to cool down and chill? Thinking about going to Baguio City? Look no further! Davao City's own version of Baguio is just an hour away from the heart of Davao City. What's in there to explore? Plenty actually. And here are just a few of the spots you can visit in Davao City's version of Baguio. We took the tour on a holiday, during the Lunar New Year last February 16. We took of from UM Matina Campus at around 3:30 AM. We weren't really sure of our itinerary since our company just aims to explore BuDa.  We reached our first stop at around 4:30 AM. We were there to wait for sunrise. There's this sea of clouds which can be seen in the place. Something we don't see everyday, right? The name of the resort is Sonnenberg Mountain View (not sure though, but I'm sure of the Sonnenberg). It has been featured in local and national TV shows. It is said ...

GAP Farming Resort 2015 For our monthsary, my boyfriend and I decided to go swimming, because it's summer and to give me lessons in swimming as well. He chose GAP Farming Resort. The resort is just a walking distance from our house. My family used to go here every now and then for leisure when I was still very young. My last visit to the place was in 2012 for our video graphics project. The resort was built in the 1970's. It's mainly for educational tours. It has a swimming pool, grotto, Japanese cave, fruit trees, orchids, statues and flowers. The resort also has a restaurant, chapel, and a function hall. It's a good place for pictorials such as prenups. It's well known for the Land of Promise landmark.  Hello, Land of Promise. #PangakoSayo #YnaAndAngelo #hurhur The gate fee to the resort is Php 50.00 which you will be paying, of course, at the gate. (hihihi) On your entry the first thing you'll see is the VERY BIG CARABAO. The big cara...
