Fun & Exciting Activities

To save you time reading, we’ll only mention a few existing and available facilities for fun activities…

Rubber kayaks and dingy boats
Paddling a kayak and knowing that you are in control and moving forward (hopefully not in circle!) is a great feeling to experience, especially on top of the water. If you are afraid and haven’t had this, just put on the safety jacket and go, go, go…

Cave Adventure
Around this area in Dalaguete, you can find many caves in the hills and mountains (and sea caves as well) of various depths, heights, diameter, or whatever you may call it. It is fun, at least for some, to explore such places to find anything at all - bats, rock formations, secret pools, etc.

Spring water pool with a slide & jacuzzi
If you came to enjoy the pool, you would surely get it here together with a slide (for your kids, maybe) and a Jacuzzi.
