If you are heading south and dreaming to experience swimming with the Dolphins then Misamis Occidental Aquamarine Park or popularly known as MOAP is a place to be. As early as 7:30am you should get ready and wait for the staff who will bring you to the Dolphin Pen in the white sand (this is how locals “US” calls it), where dolphins are nestled.

Swimming Pool in Dolphin Island
There are more MOAP could offer. I will be going back there this coming June to be able to experience once again the fiesta celebration in my hometown-Jimenez, Misamis Occidental. By then, I am looking forward to bring a bunch of updates with this park. And will surely share it with you.
