Donsol's Butanding

I took this trip with Travel Factor with side trips to Daraga Church, Mayon Volcano, Cagsawa Ruins and Lignon Hill. This is one of my favorite key chains so far, why? It's because it truly showcases the main attraction of the place and almost like a real resemblance of a Whale Shark!

Butanding or Whale Shark

First tip! Do make your reservation for the whale shark tour a day before as it easily gets overbooked for the next day's schedules. They have schedules for every (i forgot how long) and has only limited number of boats and persons (6 persons per boat only). 

Second tip! Whale Sharks in the area only do show mostly in the morning and from the months of February to April (their peak season).

This is the resort we stayed at. The rooms were spacious and clean, including their comfort rooms. The resort has full of plants and ornaments, the rooms were not cluttered on small single space. Sorry, got no pictures of the resort other than this sign.

my company to the tour of our lives!

The dive was great and the whale shark is so humongous! I got scared on my first dive as I thought it is so near me. You can also see the planktons in front of him. Several times I followed the whale shark on this path and it was just so awesome!

tourist center, 15mins walk from the resort

This is were you'll be briefed on the whale shark and its conservation. There are souvenir shops here as well and rental of fins, masks and snorkels. And most importantly, you need to reserve yourselves here!

Final note, I would love to go back and experience this again!
