Olango Island Marine Sanctuary

-


If you want to take a quick dip and to relax away from the stressful noise of the city. Olango Island is one of the best options you can have and you can reach the island in just two hours. Its main attraction is the wildlife sanctuary.

It was Sunday when we decided to go to Olango Island and our goal was just to explore and cool ourselves down. It was an exciting trip because it was unplanned and we were on a tight budget. We just hope that our 500 pesos on the wallet was enough.

What to visit

You can visit the Marine Sanctuary and the Bird Sanctuary located at San Vicente. For us, we just visit the Marine Sanctuary. There are also beach resorts in San Vicente.


At the end of the boardwalk, you can see floating cottages, you can use it for free, as well as, the life jackets.






























Here is a sample of our expense and itinerary.
































Getting There

If you are from Linao, Talisay city, like us, you should take a jeepney from Linao to Basak then Basak to T.padilla. Take another jeepney to Hi-way Mandaue and from Hi-way take another jeepney to Maribago (Mactan Newtown).

If you are from Cebu city, you can take a jeepney from Colon to Parkmall and Parkmall to Maribago (Mactan Newtown).

Then from Mactan Newtown take a tricycle to Sta. Rosa pier and then take a ferry to Olango Island. And lastly, take a tricycle going to San Vicente.

Additional Info's:

* Marine Sanctuary Entrance Fee (viewing) is 25 Php.
*Better check your calendar for the high tide and low tide.

San Remigio is known to have the longest shoreline in Cebu province, which is highlighted in their annual festival, the "Lapyahan festival". Lapyahan is a cebuano word for shoreline. The festival is celebrated every 16th of May and in honor of their patron saint San Juan Nepumoceno. The dance steps in the festival show things related to the sea: balud which means waves, kinhas which means gleaning for seashells during low tide, langoy which is swimming, hoyohoy which refers to sea breeze, and pasalamat which is to give thanksgiving to heavens for the bounty of the sea. And in every festival one of the most awaited and exciting moment is the crowning of the next festival queen.  I am proud to present to you my dear friend and the newly crowned  LAPYAHAN FESTIVAL QUEEN 2016!

Day | 01 I was so bored at home and I feel stuck because I haven’t done anything productive in the past few days then suddenly when I was about to go to sleep this idea popped out and I decided to search about it.
