An Oriental Water Experience

Going fishing and snorkeling is always a good idea. Both are fun relaxing activities that can be enjoyed even by kids. It’s also very educational because you encounter the vast marine life and you get up close and personal with the creatures below, which means you get to enrich your knowledge about them.

But the best part of snorkeling and fishing is that you also get to know the culture of a place. This is exactly true in Camp Bernardino de Lavigan, where you get to experience the waters of Davao Oriental, the oriental way. This is because the guides are all locals. They explain to you everything you need to know from the equipment to the types of fish that are abundant in their waters, and to the livelihood that they have. The bangkero and fishermen who will accompany you are so friendly that you will feel really safe when you are with them even if it’s your first time. They also help you with the techniques and strategies so you can get your first catch proudly! With the two hours or so that you will be together, waiting for your catch, you will have already known a lot about the place.

Snorkeling too is very unique in Camp Bernardino de Lavigan because the guide who will accompany you really treats the place as his home. He will tell you about the abundant fishes that live down under, and he’s already memorized the perfect spot to go snorkeling for instagram worthy photo ops. If you’re not that confident yet with your skills, then they will also gladly assist you until you’re fully comfortable on your own. 

This kind of experience is perfect for families with kids because they will really get entertained by the stories of these locals who love their job so much. It’s also perfect for groups of friends who would love to share a first catch together! Or if you are more of a solo traveler, then it’s fine too. You surely won’t feel too alone with kuya bangkero’s long stories of home. This is just some of Camp Bernardino de Lavigan’s resort activities you can try.
