Mati City in Davao Oriental, which faces the Pacific Ocean, is home to three bays: Balete, Mayo, and Pujada. All three were listed by an international group as among the most beautiful bays in the world.
I have been to all three bays before. But during my recent visit, I only visited Pujada Bay as it is the only bay that Laagan Tourist Boat Rental (LTBR) is offering to its clients. It is a good choice as it is the only bay with three beautiful islands: Oak, Waniban, and Pujada.
The Pujada landscape and seascape is a 21,200-hectare marine protected area that is home to mostly endangered species of dolphins, dugongs, marine turtles, and other aquatic animals.
The perfect way of exploring Pujada Bay is availing the services offered by LTBR. “Our exclusive island-hopping party boat gives our guests a chance to enjoy the beautiful and interesting view of Pujada Bay while partying onboard,” explained Bryan Regencia, one of the owners.
“During your boat party,” he added, “you can watch the ever-changing scenery and visit the three islands. Our party boat is such an unusual and memorable way to celebrate with family and friends.”
The boat party is his way of promoting Mati City as one of the best island-hopping tourist destinations in the region, if not the whole country. “We want to showcase the beauty of Pujada Bay and the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mindanao.”
