On the first day of your Sorsogon Province tour package, you’ll take a flight from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila City to Bicol International Airport, the main entry point to the region for air travelers.
Upon arrival, a private transfer will bring you to your accommodation in Sorsogon City.
Once you arrive at your accommodation, you will check in, and then you can take some time to settle in before deciding how to spend the rest of your day.
You can relax in the comfort of your room, explore the city’s vibrant streets, or visit a nearby restaurant to try the region’s flavorful local cuisine.
On the second day of your Sorsogon Province tour package, you’ll head to the town of Donsol, one of the Philippines’ most iconic ecotourism destinations, known for its seasonal whale shark sightings and strong focus on protecting its marine life.
This day offers two incredible nature tours that highlight both the underwater world and the beauty of the Donsol River ecosystem.
Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Sorsogon City for your whale shark-watching tour in the morning. You’ll then go on a drive to Donsol town, and once there, you’ll make your way to the dock, where your boat crew will be waiting to welcome you.
You’ll then set off into the open waters, with trained spotters scanning for signs of these gentle giants near the surface. If whale sharks are found, your guide will let you know when it’s time to enter the water so you can snorkel alongside them, witnessing their graceful movements in their natural environment.
After your whale shark adventure, you’ll return to Sorsogon City and have a few hours to relax at your accommodation, enjoy the hotel’s facilities, or discover nearby local attractions before your next activity.
Later in the afternoon, your guide will pick you up for a tranquil firefly-watching tour along the Donsol River. After arriving at the river’s starting point, you’ll board a waiting boat and begin a gentle cruise through the waterway, passing mangroves and coconut trees along the shore.
As darkness takes over, soft glimmers of light will appear among the trees as fireflies gather in clusters, creating a peaceful and almost dreamlike scene.
The magic extends into the water itself, where bioluminescent plankton light up with each movement of the boat, adding to the enchantment of the evening.
At the end of the tour, you’ll return to the dock and be driven back to your accommodation in Sorsogon City, where you can unwind after a day filled with natural wonders and memorable wildlife encounters.
For day 3, you’ll explore a mix of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and peaceful countryside settings that showcase Sorsogon Province’s diverse appeal. From scenic lakes and waterfalls to historic landmarks and eco-farms, this day offers a rich glimpse into what makes the province such a rewarding destination.
Among the places you’ll visit is Bulusan Volcano National Park, where the forested slopes of the volcano surround the tranquil waters of a peaceful crater lake that is perfect for leisurely walks and taking in the lush scenery.
You’ll also stop at Palogtoc Falls, a charming cascade flowing into a shallow natural pool framed by greenery, offering a cool and refreshing place to relax.
The tour also includes a visit to San Benon Hot Springs, where natural geothermal waters provide a warm, soothing soak at the foot of Bulusan Volcano.
Those interested in local heritage will appreciate the visit to the Old Barcelona Church. Built in 1874, it stands as a historic reminder of the region’s colonial past, with its stone walls and enduring presence telling stories of faith and history.
