Swim with the Butanding in Donsol Sorsogon

[eclectic]

I'd like to know how to get to Donsol. Where can I get a map, if it's too complicated to give directions? We're planning to take a car, and we have no idea how to get there. I'd also like to know what the good guesthouses or inns are, and their contact numbers. Thanks in advance.

Meron pa daw isang attraction dun, a? yung firefly along Donsol river sa gabi...boat tours din...anyone who ventured into this?

[D.A.]

I am planning to go there at donsol as a sidetrip from legaspi. Question: Anybody here knows how much would the boat ride cost? I will be alone. Can I just join a group tour there at donsol?

Hey guys!
We have a brand new beach house in Donsol which we hire out. It's a furnished 3 bedder with a private beach for your personal use. The house is 400 metres away from the 'city centre' of Donsol. The nightly rate is P3,250. Here's a picture of the house:



Send me a private message if you are interested. Thank you

Re: Beach house
The price is inclusive of a private butler that will keep the house is spic in span in the duration of your stay. The butler has a wealth of local knowledge and will direct you to various 'hidden' treasures that tourists are oblivious of. There is a beach 30 minutes by catamaran off DOnsol that is called 'Puting Baybay' and the sand is comparable to any White Beaches you'll find in the Philippines sans the pollution and the tourist influx.

The annual 'Butanding Festival' is celebrated in April1-24. Donsol's fiesta is on the 3rd week of May. So, the quaint little town will have much to offer during the summer season.

[cmulach]

naku mahihirapan ka kung magttren ka kc malayo pa ang terminal papunta donsol....malaki ang chance??? yta kc puro klawang na at madaling makalas...lol.... hahahaha....


sa mga pupunta ng DONSOL:
*** na pong bus papunta donsol from legaspi terminal, Van na po P60!
galing lang me ng march sa donsol..pero iba ang lakad namin *** sa totoo lang hndi pa me nakakakita ng butanding..

pag mga ganitong date na, peak season na un.. *** sobrang dami nang foreigner.. dpat before *** punta don mag-pareserve na *** ng tutuluyan nyo.. kc yung iba sa legaspi na lang tumutuloy...


sa bibili naman ng pasalubong na pili:
tingan nyo po yung bibilhin nyo lalo na yung nsa bottle container na plastic. Kc yung iba maraming sugar sa loob, at sa gilid lang ang mga pili..


Grabe sobra kuripot na *** ng mga foreigner *****!!!!..

kc may nkasabay kami 2 allein..hehe eh sa van kc dpat mapuno muna bago alis so kung hndi puno mag-aantay ***(pero now wlang antayan kc dami turista)akalin nyo inabot kami ng 3 1/2 oras kaka-antay ng pasahero.kasi ba **** ayaw man lang abunohan ng 2 alien yung kulang at ayaw pang magbyad ng extra baggage.kuripot **** grabeh....
.....kung ayaw nyo **** mag-antay at gusto alis agad, pwede lhat na pasahero magshare-share or ikaw lang mag-isa kung ayaw ng iba *** mabuo ang 12 pasahero.....

ganon pag hndi peak season, madalang ang pasahero sa VAn kc may jeepn man na papaunta din ng donsol, sa daraga nga lang ang terminal...

sa cubao **** po after new year until 2 or 1 week before ng mahal na araw, mahina na ang pasahero, so makakakuha na *** ng discount sa bus.. sa halip na P700 or 750, P550 nalang ang bigay nila. may 20% discount..dapat alam nyo un kc kung hndi at sa may ticketing office *** bibili, tticketan *** ng regular price..
