Adventures! Philippines — Waterways: Where Fun Overflows
This video is from the Department of Tourism Philippines, and here is a message about this tourism campaign:
Water is tied with the thrill of adventure, the seduction of the unknown: Without any idea what comes next, the explorer is constantly surprised by the unpredictability of water.
Like in Siargao, for instance. Tear-drop shaped in the Philippines, the island has a coastline by successive reefs and white, sandy beaches — perfect for the eager surfer. Then why not ride the waves of Calicoan in Eastern Samar, lying east of Leyte Gulf, awaiting the next surfer whose board will caress its watery surfaces? Excitement also flows through the waterways of Cagayan, whose whitewaters call out to those who romance danger. The same joyful tumult could also be found along Pinacanauan River, and on Antique's Tibiao River as thrill-seekers kayak their way out of the rough paths, just as they also do in Big and Small Lagoon in El Nido and Coron.
Thrill doesn't have to be equated with threat though, as there are milder adventures active sea-lovers can come to. Subic, for example, offers watersports for travelers on the lookout for some fast-paced fun. Honda Bay also offers these along with knee-boarding, as well as flying-fishing. And on Caramoan, bring out your wakeboard and ride the cool coast of Bicol. And if what seeks a good joyride is your eyesight, marvel at the exotic marine life of Anilao. The mind dives with you as the body submerges.
In many waves of excitement, Philippine waters can flood any traveler's memory with fluid keepsakes s/he can treasure forever, wherever his/her feet might take him/her.
