There’s a bit of a swell but A and I wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to go island-hopping. It was a safe ride because we had a very able boat captain and his jolly assistant.
First stop was the DOST Turtle Sanctuary which I would like to call Turtle Spa. Hehe. We saw how the caretaker gave one green turtle a good scrubbing. Leaving a small donation is highly appreciated to help them with the expenses in the sanctuary.
And then we’re off snorkeling. We landed in a beach in one of the Ave Maria islets where we saw a stray cat. I don’t know how the cat survives when no one lives in the islet…it must have learned how to fish. Lol! The current was slightly strong so it was easy to maneuver ourselves to the open coral reefs, thank goodness for the floaters! We saw some nice corals and fish but I’ve seen better snorkeling sites so this one’s just so-so. And because of the current, it took us a while to get back to shore. We should’ve just asked the boat man to meet us halfway.
I liked the stop at the Baras Cave. It reminded me of the underground river tour in Palawan where the boat easily fits inside the cave. But don’t expect too much because there’s just a few meters of navigable waters inside.
