Donsol Whale Sharks Snorkeling + 3-course Seaside Lunch
8h Round-trip Eco-tour from Legazpi City
Experience the adventure of a lifetime by interacting with Wild Whale Sharks in Donsol Bay, Sorsogon in a controlled Eco-tourism initiative led by the WWF. Snorkel among these inquisitive but gentle animals. To protect these marine mammals in their natural habitat, there are rules such as keeping a safe distance of 3 meters from the Whale Sharks. Please refer to our reservation system for full rules and requirements.
While you could spot a Whale Shark from a boat, you have a much better chance while you are snorkeling, because of this, we have included the price of snorkeling in this all-inclusive experience which includes towels, filtered water, fruit snacks, showers, and a 3-course lunch at a nearby seaside resort. For those that choose not to snorkel, you will be compensated.
Your adventure starts in Legazpi City or Daraga when we pick you up wherever you are staying, greeted by our trained staff. From there, you will board our Air-Conditioned Shuttle Van and ride for approximately 1.5h to Donsol Bay. There you will be greeted by our Tour Organizer, who will lead you through the Visitor Whale Interaction Center. The boat tour is about 3 hours in duration.
Upon returning from the boat tour you will be whisked to a nearby Seaside Resort where you can shower, use the restrooms, and soak in the beauty of Donsol Bay. There you will enjoy your 3-course meal and a beverage with a beautiful view!

Mount
Masaraga
Sunrise
23h Eco-Tour Overnight Camp and Summit Ridge Climb
Mount Masaraga sits in the middle of the Albay Province’s renowned volcanic mountains that make up the “Magayon Trio,” locally called the Tulong Bulod or the 3Ms: Mayon; Malinao; and Masaraga. The name "Mayon" comes from "Magayon" meaning "beautiful". Mt. Masaraga is a dormant stratovolcano with the last eruptive activity dating back to the Holocene Age.
Mt. Masaraga of Ligao City makes an emotional presence seen all through the region. Its incredibly sharp-topped-shaped scene with a height of 1,328 meters covered with nature's forest is one of the Region of Bicol's prized climbing mysteries.
The peak serves as a viewing deck unveiling the magnificence of Mt. Mayon as well as Mt. Asog, Mt. Isarog, and Lake Buhi in the distance. Climbers and bloggers affirm the stunning experience felt on this mind-boggling mountain.
Masaraga Sunrise is a 12.4 km overnight adventure that begins in the late afternoon when you set up camp at the launch point. Get settled in by either bringing your own tent, renting a tent, or enjoying the comfort of your very own kubo or cottage depending on the size of your group. Prepare your own dinner as the sun goes down and lights out early as the wake-up is in the middle of the night, so you can capture the sunrise over the Mayon Volcano.
At 4:00 am, the Tiger of Mayon, George De Mesa Cordovilla will lead you on your journey under the cover of the moonlight through uncovered fields with long grass, before entering intermittent forests, with the trails getting steeper and steeper. Prior to the summit, there is a final challenging assault, the 600m summit ridge climb. The prize is the breathtaking 360-degree view.
You will have time to rest and take lots of stunning photos before the descent. The descent can become very slippery when it rains, so the Tiger will take time to navigate the safest path down the ridge. You will reach the launch point by around noon, and be picked up soon after to head back to Legazpi City or Daraga, depending on where you are staying.
Only advanced hikers and must be physically fit! Your adventure starts with Door-to-Door transportation, safety training, conservation fees and there will be 2 guides for every 5 individual hikers.
BYO Tent Packages max of PHP 6000 per hiker USD $109
