Vanishing Island at Samal Island

Have you ever had a really excellent time staying at a certain place yet limiting your stay at the same time? Well come on and visit the renowned Vanishing Island where you can get little time yet stupendous adventure of a lifetime. This small island is located at Barangay Tambo, Island Garden City of Samal. So have you ever questioned yourself why it is called as it is? Well it is not just a random name to start with because Vanishing Island really does vanish when the tide gets high. It is one of the reason tourists visits Samal Island, Davao City.

The island has been urbanized by the local establishment. Mangroves trees have also been planted on the island. The sea bed is grassy and sandy below. You can reach the Island of course by first getting to Samal Island itself since Vanishing Island is found and is part of Samal Island. Aside from Pearl Farm and Bluejaz, Vanishing Island is also one of the best places to spend summer with your family, friends and colleagues. It is also a great spot for children to do snorkeling and beach combing. If you find your stay to have been very short, worry not because there is a cottage just right at the middle of the Island, so you can actually stay there for as long as you want because it cannot be reached by the tides for the fact that it has been elevated. Yet, most of the people who visits there are hesitant to stay knowing that the tides could rose up in quite a short time.

Pearl Farm Beach Resort, Samal Island Philippines

We are all aware that the Philippines is so much blessed with the many stunning beaches and natural beautiful spots and undeniably one of the best tropical countries in the world. When I knew we are spending our summer to Pearl Farm Beach Resort, I was so excited to see and visit the place.

Pearl Farm is located at Island Garden City of Samal. It is the largest among the 9 islands in the gulf of Davao. Pearl Farm is also one of the most visited resorts in Samal Island. My family planned to visit the place, and so we did. We prepared all we need to bring and were all ready to hit the road. We had a long hour trip from Bukidnon just to visit the place. When we arrived, we then took another 45-minute boat ride to reach the resort. Upon arrival at the resort’s private wharf, you will be greeted by attractive houses on stilts and the very famous Parola house. The place is truly picturesque as you approach the resort. I was stunned and very much amazed with the view. Very much excited to start relaxing and have fun all at the same time.

Bluejaz Beach Resort and Waterpark at Samal Island

Looking for extreme adventure while enjoying the scorching heat of the sun? Then come and visit Bluejaz Beach Resort and Waterpark. This resort is all packed with outdoor and water sports such as beach volleyball, wake boarding, and jet skiing to name a few. They also offer pearly white sand with crystal clear water in their private beach. No wonder this resort is listed as one of the top ten beaches in Samal Island. It is also hailed as the largest waterpark in Southern Philippines. With an entrance fee of P90.00 per head, it is worth every penny for all its amenities and the place itself.

Bluejaz is known for its gigantic waterslide. In fact, this slide is the longest waterslide in the Philippines. We first tried this famous waterslide. They will charge you for P90 for using their slide but this is all worth your money since you can use the slide for the whole day. I was scared to try at first but since we were in a queue, I was challenged to slide down. The guide told me that I have to lie down and place my hands across my chest so that the water will be able to push me harder. After my first slide, all my fears are gone and replaced by thrill and excitement that I want to slide again. I slide over and over again and we even tried to slide with floats together with my sister. When my mom and dad saw us really enjoying the slide, they even tried it since there is no age limit in using the slide.
