Experience the best eco-adventure activity in Asia… swim alongside the world famous “sharks” of Donsol! These whaleshark (rhincodon typus) are the world’s largest fish and can grow to a length of 18meters and weigh approx 20tonnes! Imagine snorkeling 3-5meters away from it! Explore the the remnants of the worst eruption of Mayon in 1814, at the cagsawa ruins and visit one of the most prominent churches in the Philippines because of it’s priceless baroque architecture and rich façade….the Our Lady of the Gate parish. Further down the day, scale up lignon hill, an inactive small volcano that is the latest tourist attraction with adventures activities to enjoy (zipline, rapelling, wall climbing etc), not to mention a panoramic view of the city and a “front row” seat of the world’s most perfect cone volcano…the Mt Mayon!
