Misibis Bay: Island Playground
Misibis Bay is not just about the beach. Bicol seems to be all about energy and this is evident not only in the fact that its volcanos are active but also from the various activities that Misibis Bay presents to its guests.
"We're an island playground," Lisa Zakharka, Resort Manger, said over dinner that was capped with Bicol's famous sili ice cream. "We want people to know that aside from enjoying the beach, there are a lot of other things to do here as well."
Zipline
I had never ziplined before this and I kept telling the harness guy, "Safe ba ito? May concert pa ako mamaya!" Not only was it safe, it was soooo much fun!
I felt like Tinkerbell flying over Never Neverland as I "flew" to the other end of the line.
Tricia Tensuan, the lovely lady below posing like she has wings, says she has done many ziplines before but this one at Misibis Bay is the smoothest. "It's the break that gets rough," she explained. "This one is smooth."

ATV
The property is huge. To make touring even more fun, instead of going around in a car, you can rent ATVs. I thought it would be hard, like driving a motorcycle, which for me is painful on the hands. But this is super easy. To drive, you just need to press the handle. Or you can take a guided ride, ie with a local guide as driver, but it's more fun to drive!
One of the stops is the ampitheater. I would love to sing kundimans on this stage someday ;) I was told that a lot of proposals take place here too. The view is breathtaking during the day but the ampitheater, completely lit up, is also a sight to behold at night.

Luge
If that isn't enough of a thrill for you, you can also do the Luge. It's like a sled but on concrete and you control your speed just using a handle. It felt like racing and going down a giant slide at the same time!
Chapel
You can also drive up to the chapel. It's a simple chapel, very elegant. Love the pews with their white accents.
Sunset Cruise
At sunset, we were whisked away on a speedboat across the bay to check out the scenery by water. In Misibis style, there was wine on boat. It was very Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous!
It was a fitting ending to a beautiful day!
