It is my ultimate dream to swim with the dolphins, I am really fascinated by these intelligent, clever and friendly animals, and ever since I dreamt about swimming with them. So when I and my friends decided to look for a new adventure, one of our friends who was relocated at Ozamis City suggested us about this amazing interaction with the dolphins near on her place,I was so thrilled about the idea of going there, it's finally a dream come true. We've come up a decision of travelling by land since it was an abrupt idea and much cheaper than riding a plane. We planned and figured out what month we're going to go that will fit to our different work schedules, no ifs and buts we immediately packed our bags and prepared our pocket money. All of us were excited about the trip, we managed to woke up early and met each other at the bus terminal around 4am, we then paid our individual tickets that cost us 450 each. The bus was air conditioned with comfortable seats, we choose route going to Cagayan City and departed 5:00am. We were on the road for like roughly 12 hours, but transferred after we arrived at CDO since that was the boundary of the bus and there's no route directly going to Ozamis. We then immediately jumped off to another bus and choose a route bound for Pagadian that will drop us to Ozamis City and arrived around 6:00pm. We are worry-free of arriving late and no room reservation as my travel buddy's sister already reserved us her space where we can stay the whole duration of our trip and that was a money-saving offer.

Dolphin Encounter Here's some of our pics taken during our friendly encounter with this cute and lovely animal, unfortunately I didn't get the chance to have a close up pic with them while I'm under water feeding and seeing their cute little teeth as I don't own any under water cam :( so sad for me, nevertheless memories still remain and it is truly remarkable. |

Dolphin Island or Aquamarine park is located in Misamis Occidental, this island is the home of Giant clam and other sea creatures, but their main attraction is these rescued dolphins. I wish I can show you other stuff we did at the island but unluckily we don't own underwater cam, after feeding the dolphins we headed off and explore the island, we went underwater and fed the fish, witnessed those giant clams and sea turtles. One of their guides taught us a good location where we can see a school of fish and other sea creature it was spectacular I've never seen like that in my whole life. The experience is really worth remembering.
