Are you a dolphin lover? Honestly, in my entire life I haven’t seen a dolphin yet. Many people say that dolphins intrigue people. Why? Because they possess a unique intelligence and playful spirits that gives much pleasure to every tourist. As I go through, let me tour you to one of the famous destination where you can have a deep appreciation of this creature – Bais City.
Bais City is a rustic town in Negros Oriental. In its recent years, it became a haven for dolphin and whale watching not only in the Philippines but also throughout Asia.
Off the coast of Bais City at Tañon Strait between the islands of Negros and Cebu, one can get a one-of-a-kind experience with the sea's very friendly and intelligent creatures. Tañon Strait is where the famous playful dolphins and whales are sighted.
Dolphins Sightseeing
To make this experience even more memorable, boats manned by a marine biologist and a spotter are available for charter making the trip most educational, aside from making us more appreciative of the beautiful marine life around us. The months of May and September are ideal for this activity when playful dolphins surface from their natural habitat to put up an acrobatic show for enthusiasts.
