Whale Shark "Butanding" Watching !

Last year I posted pictures of my friends tripping at Oslob Cebu, venturing the most popular “Butanding” Whale Shark Watching. I waited a year to experience it myself with my family. It was a blast and it was the first time I submerged into the waters with fishes bigger than I am. A lot of tourists from different places were there to witness the amazing Butandings. It was a splendid experience for first timers like me !

Getting there is not that hard at all. It is just a matter of a bus ride from South Bus Terminal, take the safest Bus Liner (Ceres Bus) heading to Bato, Oslob and note the barker and they’ll drop you right where you are headed.

For those who just want to do Whale Watching, it will cost you only 100 php. For those who want to go snorkeling, the price is only 300 php. Oxygen tank for divers are also available at 1,500php. Cottages are rented roughly from 300-500php. Bringing of foods and drinks are allowed. 


So I’m going to show you some pics we took during our trip! Enjoy!

Anika Island Resort, Sta. Fe Bantayan Island Cebu Philippines!

 Never too late for summer!

If you want a blissful summer where there isn't much crowd, Anika Island Resort in Sta. Fe Bantayan Island Cebu is the perfect place to be!

The resort is new, was made like about 2 years ago. You will surely fall in love the moment you step in. It’s also perfect for couples on honeymoon.

Rooms are upfront the beach and cottages are lovely nature made. The beach is clean and mmm the sea breeze, its breath taking.

 I for one didn't even noticed I have fallen asleep for like 4 hours on a beach chair!

Here’s how to get there:

Ride a bus from Ceres Bus Liner at North Terminal heading to Hagnaya (120 php). Reaching Hagnaya there's an affordable boat ride from Cebu to Bantayan Island that will cost you only 180 pesos.

Its roughly 1-2 hours travel time. That easy! There are numerous beautiful resorts in Bantayan but ANIKA ISLAND BEACH RESORT was the most beautiful of them all.

My family stayed at Anika for 3 days and 2 nights. During those days, it was like a haven! They welcomed us with juices and teas and served sumptuous meals with fresh fruits and variety of dishes.
