Luxury Island Playground: Things to Do at Misibis Bay Resort, Cagraray Island
THINGS TO DO AT MISIBIS BAY:
If you come to Misibis Bay Resort, you come to make the most out of it as a luxury island playground. It was well worth it to get the package that includes unlimited use of non-motorized sports and limited use of selected motorized activities like we did. For three days, two nights, these were the activities in lined for us:
1. 30-minute ATV at Eco-energy Park Adventure Zone (P3,000/hour)

Discovering Camarines Sur: Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC)
After our successful encounter with the whale sharks in Donsol, we were off to discover Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC) in Pili, Camarines Sur.
It was an hour land trip from Donsol, Sorsogon to FilCab/GT Express Daraga Terminal.

In Daraga Terminal, several vans are waiting in line for hire. At P140 per head, we found our way to Pili, Camarines Sur two hours later on a Daraga - Naga van for hire. That's a lot of savings compared to hiring a private van at P3000. We got off on the highway, crossed the street and rode a tricycle leading to the Eco Village inside the complex of the Capitol. At P7.50 each, five of us and a stranger were forced to cramp inside this tricycle with our bags and luggage on top since the driver refused to have it all to ourselves.

Guide to Whaleshark Interaction at Donsol, Sorsogon
Read my personal butanding interaction experience here.
I have compiled this extensive guide for Whale Shark Interaction in Donsol Sorsogon, probably the most extensive you can find on the net.
FACTS:
The name "whale shark" or locally called "butanding" comes from the fish physiology that is, a shark as huge as a whale that shares the same filter feeder eating mode. As filter feeder, these gentle giants feed on planktons, algae, and small nektonic life.

Donsol Bay has the largest concentration of whale shark in the world.
WHERE IS DONSOL BAY:
The interaction site can be reached by outrigger boat in 10 minutes from the shores of Dancalan Beach Area (Baranggay),
Town of Donsol, Province of Sorsogon, Region of Bicol, Southern Luzon, Philippines.
