Enchanted River Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
truly enchanting blue river!
Enchanted River also called the Hinatuan Sacred River is a hidden gem on the east coast of Mindanao, Philippines.
Getting There - it’s a long travel from Davao City but it’s super worth the trip 💯 we were on the road for about 6 hours 😅
Attractions - the blue river nonetheless!! as soon as you set your eyes on this magical body of water, you can’t help but feel charmed! truly fascinating 😍
They conduct a daily fish feeding around noon time where different types of fish gather as the “Hymn of Hinatuan” plays in the background.
Food & Restaurants - there are local vendors and food stalls qs well as a covered area for dining

The Magical Story of Hinatuan Enchanted River
Have you heard about the Hinatuan Enchanted River located on the island of Mindanao, Philippines? If not yet, you may want to continue reading. :)
This river is one of the the wonders of Mindanao and even the Philippines not just because of its clear and crystal waters but also because this place is preserving the folklore in the country.
As per the locals, some sort of supernatural beings are protecting the river allowing it to be a home to many fishes and for the waters to continue to glow and be as luminescent even today.
And we, as the visitors of the place should respect this story. Just like in any tourist destination, before we head over to the river itself, we had a short briefing of the dos and dont’s for everyone’s safety. Please pay attention to the briefing personnel.
Trivia: One of the big No-No is being too loud.
We had to almost whisper when talking there to respect nature and everything that comes with it.
And yes! There is a portion of the river where you are allowed to swim. Didn’t had a photo cause we were too overwhelmed and very careful.
📍Talisay, Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur 🇵🇭
✈️ Nearest Airport: Surigao Airport (Domestic)
You should tick this off your list soon ✅

Enchanted River
One of the unique features of the Enchanted River is its unfathomable depth. There have been a number of diving expeditions which aimed to uncover this mystery, but have unfortunately failed. It was said that these professional divers experienced different roadblocks such as strong current and blocked passageways. I have read that the farthest they were able to go was 200 feet.
I was more than contented with the feeling of joy and wonder upon seeing lovely place. It was really mesmerizing and captivated my heart! (big words!) I really pray that come hundreds of years, Enchanted River will still remain to be as clean and beautiful as I first saw it.

Britania Islands Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Summer Adventure with the Fam at Britania
It was a wonderful bonding experience with the family. My cousins and I were able to take on the challenge and rode extreme water activities such as Banana Boating, Jet Skiing and this one extreme ride, which I unfortunately forgot the name! lol! It was however a long weekend and San Agustin, Surigao del Sur is filled with lots of tourists and it was hard to find an available boat that will take us on island hopping. We are on the other hand, still lucky to have found one! It was however not so modern or cozy as the other boats and it took us only to 3 Islands and not 4, since according to the boat driver it was windy and naked Island is not good for such weather. We see other boats however going to the said Island. Lol! It turned out that our boat is catering not only us but also other group of Island Hoppers, which made it very busy to tour us as how we have paid it for (2000php, no time limit as agreed but is not followed).
Moreover, the family bonding experience was priceless! It’s something that we will never forget! #beachlife #bananaboat #summervacation #britannia

I was really amazed with what I saw in Britania! This is probably one of Surigao del Sur's best kept secrets! I enjoyed the moment of serenity that I would probably only have in Mindanao. I am so glad how their community has been preserving the islands and I hope they would still continue to improve their services. Britania is not just meant for beach fans but also for nature lovers like me. Surigao kept on surprising me when I step on to a new location and Britania sure did set the bar high! Follow my next posts to find out more of not just Surigao but Mindanao's lovely hidden tourist spots you'll surely enjoy to visit!

White Sands of Britania
Visit the White Sands of Britania group of Islands! Surigao as a whole has so much to offer---Barobo group of islands, the Tinuy-an Falls, the enchanted river and so much more to remember and Britania is among the beautiful spot found here!
if you want to lavish the island, a whole day island hopping package will do. We rented the whole bangka with 3000php and we have visited the 3 main islands of Britania.
we left from the main island around 6 in the morning. We brought food for lunch because we knew that enjoying the white sand will make us go hungry and it is best to eat lunch in the island. There's not much facilities on the island because they want to maintain its natural looks. laying down their white sand, do some indian sit while eating would be a fun cowboy experience.
