Ocean Adventure is Southeast Asia’s first and only open-water marine park situated at Camayan Wharf, West Ilanin Forest Area, Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

MARCH 22, 2005: Finally, I have done one of the items in my "Things To Do Before I Shrivel & Die" list! I did the whale encounter at Ocean Adventure!!! We spent most of the day at Ocean Adventure doing all sorts of fun, knowledge-enriching and highly entertaining activities. Here's one trivia I was surprised to learn: did you know that a sea lion and a seal is NOT the same thing? The sea lion is larger and it has prominent ears, big front & back flippers. During the sea lion show, they even have a humorous segment of the sea lions imitating the funny, squirmy way of how the seals walk on land. We watched the sea lion show twice, with 2 different sets of talented, endearing sea lions. They are just soooo cute, I swear! :) We also spent time marveling at the colorful fishes at the Discovery Aquarium and we also watched the awesome whale and dolphin show

All of the crew members, park attendants, whale/dolphin/sea lion trainers were very friendly and accommodating to us. I give 'em 5 stars for excellent customer service! :) We snapped about 320MB worth of videos and photos, PLUS, my dad took more film shots on his SLR camera! When you're at Ocean Adventure, there's a myriad of sceneries and marine animals to take pictures of. It's practically a photographer's paradise! Here are collages of selected digital pictures...

       

let's make everyday EARTH DAY! :) 

 

    

The  Discovery Aquarium:  that BIG sea lion mascot sneaked up behind me and suddenly tapped me! man, I got *gulat*! :P

 

       

A closer look at the fishes:  look, there's Nemo and Dory! ;-)  

 

     

My Whale Encounter: A priceless encounter with Pounder and Hook (both females), the false killer whales... I did the encounter with three Boracay-bound tourists from Denmark. At the shore, a different whale (male this time) and a dolphin joined me for photo opp.  

 

    

My Sea Lion Photo Encounter : One long, cold, wet, fishy kiss from Brandy the sea lion. Soooo adorable!!!
