Greetings, hivers! Welcome again to my blog, and now I'm going to show you a friendly sea creature named Brenda, the most famous stingray in the world.

The main attraction is Brenda, a massive Manta Ray. I mean "Huge," yet she was completely harmless. And huge tuna fish swim beneath you while you swim, which appears to be terrible but safe. Brenda is like a wonderful person swear! And the fish? were very enormous!

The location is ideal for photography.

The Sibadan Fish Cage and Resort is designed for stingrays and other types of fish, and all of the animals are well-cared for. And located at Portlamon, Hinatuan, Surigao Del Sur, Philippines.

The aquatic creatures inside the cage keep the guests interested. Those who do not know how to swim then you can walk down a set of stairs to the bottom, where you could pet a "Sting Ray". Like the skin was smooth and felt like brushed velvet material, which surprised me. The creature was extremely placid, allowing me to pet it for several minutes.

Brenda, in particular, was a big fan of the fish. You'll run into her when you arrive. Getting there is the exciting part.

The main cage, where you can swim with stingrays and large fishes, is seen from above.

Life jackets were provided to anyone, who enjoyed swimming in the warm, salty sea. The water was crystal-clear. Sibadan Fish Cage and Resort staff also sell a variety of souvenirs to commemorate your visit to their facility. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I hope I never forget.


The best experience that you dont have to miss out is "Swimming with Stingrays and Tuna fishes", especially with Brenda and Princess (sting rays).

There were actually 3 stingrays, the one still a baby. I forgot the name but yeah, Hinatuan Surigao Del Sur is a must-visit!

The stingrays were quite pleasant. Looks scary however, it was a fantastic experience.

By the way, all the stingrays are safe with the stinger removed. The spike has been removed for safety reasons.

You can also feed the sharks.

The cuisine is delicious and complements the atmosphere. So, I would advise everyone to go.

There is also a restaurant where you may dine on a variety of seafood options. Fresh fish and other seafoods caught in the fish cage are offered to guests.

The exterior of this "cage" was enclosed by a big net-like material to keep out predators of the water (such as sharks) who could injure humans.


The location is ideal for relaxing and also watching a spectacular sunset. I saw that the majority of the resort's visitors are groups or families. Some have traveled as far as Manila, Cebu, and Davao. I'd never seen a foreigner in the resort before.


HOW TO GET THERE:

Before you may take a boat to Sibadan Fish Cage and Resort, you must first reach the Enchanted River.

To begin, take a bus from Butuan Bus Terminal bound for Hinatuan Terminal, which will take approximately 4 hours. Take a habal-habal or a motorcycle from Hinatuan terminal for 12 kilometers route to Enchanted River. Pay the P50 entrance fee at Enchanted River and ask the staff where to go for the boat ride to Sibadan Fish Cage and Resort. It's only a short distance. If there is a vacancy, the dispatcher can radio Sibadan Fish Cage and Resort from the boat area.

Take the 10-minute boat ride to Sibadan Fish Cage and Resort. Back and forth, each boat costs P500 with a maximum capacity of 5 people.
