Philippines Luzon Island tourist attractions recommendation

Philippines Legazpi, southeastern part of Luzon Island. Located in the Bicol region in the southeast of Luzon Island, Philippines, Mayon Volcano (2462 meters above sea level), known as the "most perfect cone" in the world, is a must-visit attraction in Legazpi. In addition to mountain climbing and sightseeing, there are also whale watching, manta ray diving, and firefly watching activities, making it a worthwhile experience in Legazpi. These activities can be arranged through local travel agencies for day trips.   Ma Rong Volcano: This is an active volcano, and spectacular views of Ma Rong Volcano can be seen almost anywhere in Liberia. Climbing Ma Rong Volcano requires application to the local government through a formal travel agency, and only those with certain qualifications and conditions are allowed to climb. Ma Rong Volcano is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, having erupted 50 times in the past 400 years, with the most recent eruption in 2018. When the plane is about to arrive in Liberia, you can overlook the spectacular Ma Rong Volcano. Liberia airport is very small, and you can see the perfect volcano waiting room of Ma Rong Volcano as soon as you get off the plane. If you don't climb Ma Rong Volcano, you can go to a nearby observation deck, which is also easily accessible by taxi from the airport.   Donsol Whale Shark Watching: Donsol is located 45 kilometers southwest of Libagon, where you can see the purest scenery of small fishing villages in the Philippines. Since the discovery of whale sharks on the nearby coast in 1998, it has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines. Donsol's whale sharks are all wild. From November to May of the following year, during the breeding season of whale sharks, the probability of seeing them is higher. Whale watching activities can be booked at the visitor center or resort hotels. Although whale sharks migrate here from November, the peak period is concentrated in March and April. The weather in the Philippines is changeable, and whether you can see whale sharks depends on the weather. If there is a typhoon, whale watching activities will be cancelled. Each boat that goes out to sea is equipped with 3-4 local crew members. One sits on the mast at the front of the boat, and the others search for the silhouette of whale sharks around the boat. Once whale sharks are found, tourists can immediately go into the water and have close contact with them.   Observing fireflies: Compared to the activities of Marong volcano and whale watching, Dong Suo's firefly watching activity is often overlooked, but the most unforgettable experience is still the fireflies in the entire mangrove forest and the wonderful Milky Way that can be seen just by looking up. Usually after dusk, take a small boat at the pier to the nearby mangrove forest. When you arrive at the mangrove forest, night has completely fallen, and there is no light pollution. The entire mangrove forest is full of starry lights. The crew will also catch a firefly and put it in your hand. The day I went there was clear and cloudless, and the entire Milky Way was visible when looking up. Such a scene is still unforgettable.

We stayed in Donsol for whale shark adventure in beginning of May when its season. We where surprised of the high quality we had at our dinner at BARacuda. Juliet, the owner makes awesome dishes with the daily caught fishes. Donsol is a poor place in Philippines. Bring a lot of cash and don’t haggle on the prices. Tip generously, its rather cheap anyway. #Donsol #beachlife #foodie

Whale sharks🐋 adventure

Here tourists can interact with whale sharks (butanding in local parlance) by snorkeling, diving, or by simply waiting for them in areas where they come right up to the surface.
