    Who said there is no wind around Sarangani Bay? On the contrary there is enough wind! The big plus is the awesome limestone mountain terrain in Sarangani.  SAFI Ranch in Maasim is located right after Siguel river.  It a property made of mountains of hard rock and limestone.  The awesome part of the place it has cliffs for paragliding and big flat land perfect for landing...

    I got invited to see the sport. Initially I was seeing Ian Tan and their gang taking lessons with Buko Raymundo (President, Paragliding Association of the Philippines) and Jason Luengo.  It looked tough for those training to be pilots. As they lifted their chutes, and begin working with the wind, you sense the adrenelin rush!

   The group was kind enough to show me what its like.  So we headed up the mountain and got ready to jump off the cliff.  The moment we got the winds right,  on a tandem, we ran  and jumped off the mountain to the vast expanse of air.  

   That jump was so good, because the wind lifted us high above the ranges of Maasim and viewing the entire Sarangani Bay from the sky.  It was a high- adrenalin, amazing experience!  We flew for about 15 minutes that day. 

    If you are interested to paraglide, the introductory rate is P2,500 for tandem ride.  Its definitely worth the try.

Even today, tribal culture and heritage is very much alive.  In each community or barangay you will find not only the barangay officials but also the tribal chieftains.  This form of government among the tribes practice until today the tribal settlement tribunal which is otherwise known as the "Kasfala" or peace settlements between two or more parties.  Also until today, there is a rich culture of agricultural practices where rice are grown even on uplands not needing the flat irrigated lands.  There over 40 varieties of upland rice with different purposes that are still being farmed in Malungon.

Join S'lang and learn more about the tribal communities and their heritage.  Should you wish to see the Lamlifew Tribal Village Museum, contact Go Sarangani Travel for arrangements at (083) 5528015.

 

 


Enjoy a cold drink while laying out under the shade of the coconut tree on wonderful white sand beaches of Gumasa.  There are several resorts to choose from... Brod Louie Resort, Davak Beach Resort, Crystal Beach Resort and Pool, White Haven Beach Resort, Rosal Beach Resort, Coco Beach & Isla Jardin del Mar.  Take a dip in the pristine waters of Sarangani Bay.

If you like underwater adventure, you should take your snorkel or dive gear to Lemlunay Dive Resort... The marine sanctuary boasts of a biodiverse underwater experience.  Known for their sumptuous burgers and buffalo wings... its a great place to unwind this summer.

You may also take a boat ride and snorkel Tuka Marine Reserve in Kiamba and see the wonderful table corals and when lucky see turtles, squids, and other tropical fishes.  

If you want to get wet in fresh cold river water -- we invite you to try the River Tubing of New La Union Maitum.  Its simply an awesome and addicting ride. Definitely worthy the trip and experience.

The beach is about a 1 kilometer stretch... a turtle sanctuary, white sand beach, with daybeds outside of each Filipino inspired cottage... Cozy wind blowing and rustling the trees... I say this piece of paradise, is definitely a place for romance. 

As you stroll along the beach, you will find a limestone wall that enclaves this white sand beach from the rest of Gumasa...it gives you a sense of serenity as the large rocks of the beach become part of the view of the beautiful horizon... 

This part of the beach is a great place to set the intimate gathering of friends and loved ones witnessing the union of two souls...

 

I can imagine myself renewing my vows again in this wonderful place... its definitely a wedding destination that lovers should take notice of...

1. Hit the Beach -  This time of the year is perfect to go to the beach. It is sunny but also it is a cooler season than summer.  Its great to swim, snorkel, build sand castles or be lazy on a hammock reading a good book.  The sound of water crashing the shore is so relaxing, we suggest you do it in GUMASA in GLAN. (For more information on where to stay, click hotel and resorts on our website... better yet book through Go Sarangani Travel office.)

 

2. Take a Dive or learn diving - The beautiful Sarangani bay invites you to take a dip and see the beauty of the live corals and the abundant fish of the bay.  Turtles, snappers, jacks are one of the common ones we see when diving Tampuan Wall and the Sand Bar.  If you have never done this before, its time to try it in Lemlunay Dive Resort. (For more information on where to stay, click hotel and resorts on our website... better yet book through Go Sarangani Travel office.)

3. Try new adventures - For those who have never tried taking a river adventure, its high time you try the River Tubing of New La Union, in Maitum.  Going through a shallow but wide river on its dips and twists is definitely exciting! You may also want to trek and zip the 7 Falls of Lake Sebu and experience nature at its best.
