Start your day with a delicious breakfast before being picked up by a private driver for a short ride to the airport. From there, catch a flight to Legaspi and then transfer to a public jeepney bus for the journey to Donsol. Spend the day taking in the sights and sounds of the Philippines as you travel. When you arrive in Donsol, get settled in and explore the local area, perhaps trying out one of the local eateries for dinner.

Donsol is one of the few places in the world where you can experience the thrill of swimming with whale sharks**, which can be found here from November to June. Don your snorkeling gear and get ready for the experience of a lifetime as you swim alongside these gentle giants. Later, take a sunset cruise down the Donsol River and marvel at the fireflies lighting up the night sky.

** Whale Shark Disclaimer (Donsol Trips)
Whale shark encounters in Donsol take place in their natural environment. As they are wild animals, sightings can never be guaranteed. The peak season for whale shark sightings in Donsol is from February to April. Sightings are still possible in November, December, and January, but they are less frequent compared to the peak months.

The Sorsogon province is home to much more than just the whale sharks of Donsol. Today, you'll embark on a full-day tour of the area in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Visit Paguriran Lagoon, San Benon Hot Springs, Old Barcelona Church, and Bulusan, which is known for its rich eco-system of a volcano, rainforest, lakes, and waterfalls. You'll also have the chance to visit local industries such as Karagumoy handicrafts, Pili plantations, and honey farms on the slopes of the volcano.

After yesterday's full-day tour, take some time to relax and enjoy a leisurely breakfast before being picked up by your driver and transferred to your accommodations in Legaspi.
