Mindanao Adventure
1.) Misamis Occidental Aquamarine Park
If interacting with diverse marine life excites you, then definitely visit Misamis Occidental Aquamarine Park (MOAP). It’s home to a number of marine mammals, fish hatcheries and the ever-popular Dolphin Island. This man-made sanctuary was built as a shelter for lost or stranded dolphins, where handlers take care of these creatures until they regain their health – then send them back into the open sea. Apart from interacting and swimming with the dolphins, you can also go snorkelling, explore their mangrove forests, or enjoy the sea breeze at MOAP’s beach resort.
Sitting almost equidistant between Surigao del Norte and Agusan del Sur provinces, you’ll find the country’s fourth largest freshwater lake. Lake Mainit, one of the deepest lakes in the country, has highly diverse aquatic resources and rich flora and fauna. It’s home to a variety of fish species, including the rare puyo or perch. Although the lake’s name literally means ‘hot’, it’s unspoiled warm waters are surrounded by numerous hot and cold springs. If you’re looking for an adventure that also provides relaxation, you’ll surely enjoy exploring this peaceful and undeniably scenic place.
