As part of our island hopping travel trip in Matnog Sorsogon we came to it’s most famous destination the Juag Lagoon Fish Sanctuary. As our boat headed towards the sanctuary you will notice a nipa hut in the middle of the tranquil waters of the lagoon. The sanctuary is also divided into several pens that contain different species of marine life.

This is the highlight of my summer experience this 2015 and it took at least two months of preparations for the travel trip of the year. From searching the internet to interviewing some folks who’s been there just to make sure that the travel trip will not be an epic failure. So the first thing that we have considered in our outing is; are we going to go on a backpack or have a travel agency. We’ve consider the geographical characteristics of the province first and as per experience in travelling to Sorsogon for several times, it would took at least three to four hours of road trip to reach the Matnog Port from Legazpi City and it will be more hassle and time consuming if we will go on a public transportation.
This is the last destination among the three island hopping stopover in Matnog, Sorsogon and one of the town’s hidden gem. This island is privately owned by one family and no entrance fee is being charge in the island but a donation is very much appreciated. Since the island is privately owned there were no cottages nor any sign that the island has the capacity to accommodate visitor in fact Tikling Island is just accessible through the island hopping packages.
At the heart of Bulusan Volcano Natural Park lies an emerald green flaccid water of the Bulusan Lake. The serenity of the lake and the vast rich vegetation of different species of plants, orchids, ferns plus the endemic species of birds, mammals, reptiles, insects and freshwater fish just complete the rich flora and fauna collection of the reserved National Park. The Natural Park is a 3,673 hectare of protected area of rainforest surrounding the one of the most active volcano in the country the Mount Bulusan. The park is located at the south central part of the province and is confined by five towns such as Bulusan, Barcelona, Irosin, Juban and Casiguran.
There are three main peak in the reserve area, the first is the active Mt. Bulusan which was the highest and is characterized by numerous deep ravines and caves. The second is the mountain called Hormahan which is a sharp peak. Lastly was the Lake Aguingay, it is the center of the mountain complex forms, and is a vast plain that is occasionally flooded during wet seasons but dries up during summer season. Another part of itinerary in the island hopping during your visit in Matnog Sorsogon is the group of caves and limestone formation fifteen minutes away from the pinkish beach of Subic Daco. At far it seems like it was just an ordinary cliff but as the boat gets nearer and it was low tide you can get inside the cave and there is a magnificent view inside that is only accessible when you enter the cave. Inside was a lagoon like view that can give you an out of this world picturesque view.
