📍TUKA MARINE PARK
Hidden paradise of Kiamba, Sarangani 🌴
🚌 How to get there:
1. From General Santos City, ride a bus or van bound to Kiamba, all public utility vehicle will drop you off the town’s public terminal (around 1 hour and 30 mins of travel). If you prefer to ride a bus, you can have your ride at Bulaong Integrated Terminal but if you prefer riding a van, you can have it at Ablog Terminal. All terminals are known to local drivers in General Santos City.
2. From your last point, local tricycle drivers will drive you to the tourism office. Just tell them TUKA MARINE PARK TERMINAL.
3. Then you can register and wait for a bangka to take you to Tuka Marine Park (average travel time of 15-20 minutes). Remember, bangka ang sasakyan papunta mismo sa resort.
🏕 What we really like about Tuka Marine Park:
1. Resort’s cleanliness
2. Exlcusivity
3. Walang signal kaya perfect for immersion and reflection
4. Perfect sand
5. Crystal blue water
6. Marine life- pawikan, corals, and diverse breed of fishes
Tips:
✔️ Before traveling, check the weather status. It’s not okay to travel by sea na mejj umuulan at malalakas ang waves.
✔️ Kung wala kayong service, better contact yung driver na sinakyan niyo papuntang Kiamba to fetch you up kung pauwi na kayo para less hags.
✔️ Do not bring too much stuffs.
✔️ Magdala kayo ng tent bc everyone loves tent. Chenes diba? (Tent Fee is P200.00 pero kung kukuha kayo ng cottage, libre na kahit ilang tent pa ang inyong dalhin)
✔️ Magplano ng maigi sa dadalhing food. Tho may kuryente doon, as far as we remember, walang bilihan ng everything sa TMP. Bring ice for your beverages and cooler nalang din.
✔️ Do not forget to explore the entire island. Best to do it during low tide.
✔️ Best to spend overnight sa TMP kasi for sure kayo pang ang tao dun katulad ng na experience namin.
✔️ Lastly, ENJOOOOY your vacation! 💕

💎 Hindi na mabigat at sulit na sulit dahil hindi magulo ang resort. You can do all things that you want. Super instagramable ng view at again, super clear ng water. Tipid if madami kayong pupunta.
