The heavenly beauty of Samal Island

Once again we venture the heavenly white sand of Samal Island at Igacos, Davao... been here every so often whenever I wish to unwind, away from the stressful urban life. Usually it will take you 5-10 minutes for Babak or 45 minutes for Kaputian/ Talikod.

Ways to reach Samal Island: 

1. Bus…just have to wait along Magsaysay park

2. “Lantsa” (motorboat) along Sasa via Babak
3. “Lantsa” (motorboat) along Sta. Ana warf
4. Barge
5. Hired “lansta” (motorboat) for the resor
6. Water taxi

               

With me were my colleagues and their families. This has been part of our tradition in the office…to reward ourselves with a cheap yet blissful and wonderful fellowship in a perfect place. 

We hired a motorboat that will tour us around Samal Island for 6, 500Php good for 40 pax.  In short we only contributed 300php each for the motorboat rental and snacks, plus BYOB food enough for everybody.

1^st Stop: Coral Sanctuary where we stopped for almost 2 hours to give us the chance to dive  and swim.

2^nd Stop: Babusanta where we ducked and stayed for 4 hours to swim and have our lunch.

3^rd Stop: Angel Cove last stop, where we stayed for another 2 hours to dive and swim.

It’s a fun fun fun summer in the Philippines especially in Davao City. We’re so filled with (1) the food…because the letchon completes our meal (2) friendship (3) experience.

Thanks for the gift of nature! Let all of us be genuine stewards of HIS creation. Amen
