KAYAKING at Dumaluan Beach

7/08/2010 | Posted by ghen the backpacker


Aside from its popular wide coastline with powdery white sand, the Dumaluan Beach Resort offers a variety of water sports as well.

While some of us went swimming and strolling, one of my cousins and I tried their Sea Kayaking--  the use of a kayak or mini boat for moving across water where the paddler faces forward, legs in front, using a double bladed paddle.




Single kayak costs P150/hour/head while the double kayak costs P250/hour/head.



 




You will be provided with life vests and be assisted and briefed quickly prior to the ride. Well, I'm lucky enough to wear vest #6. It reminds me of my favorite jersey number 6 when I used to play basketball in highschool =)
 

And so we went kayaking.  I thought an hour of kayaking would be too long but as you  paddle  around the moving waters, you will surely forget about the time. It was a fun and a good ride!  

It's actually different if you do kayaking on moving waters than on still waters..  

Obviously, the chance of falling off on moving waters is high than on still waters. Luckily, we were able to balance it right so no one fell off.  At one point, we jumped  off and swam for few minutes and went back kayaking again.

Beach time at Dumaluan

7/08/2010 | Posted by ghen the backpacker


We originally planned to wake up at 4am today for our island hopping. But since we woke up late, our plan turned out to be a "resort" hopping instead at Panglao Island, Bohol. First stop was at Dumaluan Beach Resort, one of the most popular beach resorts in Panglao.
The resort continues to captivate the interest of the many beach lovers and tourists especially with its wide area of fine white sands.  The hot sunny day made me feel like summer isn't over yet. =) 

 The cottages for day use vary in prices and since we were only few, we chose the smaller and cheaper cottage for P225 only. Food and drinks were brought along so we took our breakfast at the beach. For more info, you may visit their website at www.dumaluanbeach.com





We went kayaking with one of my cousins and my niece enjoyed building sand castles and swimming at the beach too.  
Of course, with the warm heat and cool breeze, my day won't be complete without having my cousins pose as models for my portfolios =)
