Enchanting Sohoton

12/5/2014

From our resort (Siargao Inn) in General Luna, we hired a boat that brought us directly to Sohoton National Park in Bucas Grande Island for about 3 hours. On our way there, we were welcomed by beautiful rock formations and deep blue crystalline water. That very tiring 3-hr boat ride was all worth it. Such an amazing place! 

Bucas Grande has been blessed with so many wonders of nature and our tour guide said that Sohoton Cove is by far the best in the island. They said it is submerged in water that the entrance and exit disappears during high tide. 

Going inside the cove was seeing what a wonderful world we have and I was mesmerized by its beauty. It was indeed one magical experience. There are three attractions inside the cove: Horse Foot, Hagukan Cave and Magkukuob Cave where the only way out is to jump off the cliff. 

Also never leave Sohoton without seeing the stingless jellyfish and snorkel near Markaa Beach.

Going to that spot inside the cave that leads to a cliff and the only way out is to jump off that cliff. Pak! :) I am sorry I have no evidence that indeed I jumped off the cliff. Awesome experience!

1:1 (1 tourist = 1 paddle boat) to get through the sanctuary. Motorized boat is not allowed as it would kill a lot of jellyfish there.
On our way back to Siargao Island, our tour guide dropped us off near Markaa Beach as it is the best snorkeling site of the island. Let me show you some shots of the carebears:
