So many people question if they would get a chance to come face to face with the great whale shark. It must be terrifying, yet exhilarating to see a huge mammal as wonderful as the whale shark. For those who are up for this journey, you might want to check the flights available for Bicol.
“The Whaleshark, known locally as Butanding is the biggest fish in the world and it weighs 15 to 20 tons and grows to the length of 15 to 50 meters.
The Butandings visit Donsol Sorsogon in relatively large number from November to May.
Large number means over a dozen sightings and 10 close encounters in a couple of hours.
Those are the best figures you may expect of a creature that is in danger of extinction. Even the great explorer Jacques Costeau admitted to seeing only two whale sharks in his lifetime of sea adventures.”
So you need to set an appointment to see the whale which is best from November to May. The whale is very huge that a lot of tourist are visiting the island just to see the whale shark.
Getting there: Donsol, Sorsogon is approximately one-hour drive away to Legazpi City. The roads all the way to Donsol are well-paved, scenic and very accessible. There are several taxis available that make daily routes from Legazpi to Sorsogon.
Visit Bicol this month’s to see the great whale shark. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you to enjoy.
