Travel: Tops to Mountain View Busay Adventure

Since we were bored, we decided to visit Tops and Mountain View. Bought some snacks and made sure we bring lots of liquids since it was very hot and we don't want to get dehydrated. Expect foods there to be expensive.

How to get there:

From JY Square Mall, ask a habal-habal driver to take you to Tops. It is much better to go there at night time so that you'll see the city lights. Public transportation there are mostly motorcycles and its difficult to get one so you might want to ask the driver to fetch you. Entrance for Tops is Php100.00 and fare is Php50.00 each.

Here are a few pictures we took.

Place to eat and hang out

Nice view ^_^

Mountain View

We asked our kuya driver to fetch us after lunch and take us to Mountain View. There is an entrance of Php50.00 each.

We planned to do the way of the cross first.

Then, to the most awaited rope course ^_^

We have to take more than a hundred steps to the rope course

Almost there!

Lets pay before we play

Make sure you wear shoes or else you'll have to rent.

And finally, we can begin!

A few more pictures...

Travel: Marine Sanctuary in Olango Island

How to get there:

Ride a jeepney from Hiway going to Engano. Fare is Php15.00. Ask the driver to drop you at Hilton, now known as Movenpick Hotel. Beside hilton is the port going to Olango Island. From the port, you need to pay Php15.00 for the fare to Olango and Php5.00 for the port entrance. Wait until the pump boat arrives.

Olango Port

A lot of tricycles are parked near the port. Just negotiate them for the fare going to marine sanctuary.

Entrance going to the sanctuary

 This is where you pay the entrance. From what I remember, if you came just to visit, entrance is Php25.00 but if you go swimming, it should be Php75.00. Underwater picture taking is Php100.00. Life Vest is free for those who want to swim.

Mangroves

Boardwalk to sanctuary

So, this is where you go swimming and snorkel. You could also ride a boat for Php75.00 to get you farther where a lot of fishes are living.
