It was a fun time, with the songs moving me, and I laughed to tears. They invited me up on stage and we did the bamboo dance together and took photos. It was my first experience and I'm very satisfied! Since it's run by a Japanese person, they speak Japanese, so even those who don't speak English can participate with ease. I recommend going here if you're in Cebu! It was a wonderful experience that you can't experience in Japan! It's a great memory!
I was debating between a shared boat and a private charter, but considering that the shared boat costs the same for adults and children, chartering ended up being significantly cheaper. The shuttle arrived on time, and upon arrival at the port, a member of the association guided us to the boat. We also paid a port tax (10 pesos per person). The weather was unfortunate when we set sail, and no one wanted to snorkel at Hilutungan, so we headed to Pandanon. On the other hand, everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves at Pandanon, and they still wanted to snorkel, so we asked the captain and he kindly returned us to Hilutungan. I think the freedom of a private charter is a plus. As for meals, the bungalows are given priority, so we had to eat on board, but that was also a great experience. The sea is somewhat controversial due to the amount of seaweed growing, but I personally think it's the most beautiful beach I've ever been to, second only to Shell Beach in Australia.
