Our enchanted river escapade, we will be back again

After the graduation of Dhannah last Monday, it's April 14,2025. Jeanete wants to unwind at enchanted river of Hinatuan Surigao del Sur Philippines. We've been there many times but we still want to visit it. The enchanting place that people of Mindanao really wants to experience the cold place. So many tourists swim in the shallow part of the enchanted river area with waters shade range from the aquamarine to blue. The dark blue color in the river it simply means the water was so deep. Be extra careful if you want the enchanted river.

We travel around 9am last Tuesday morning so that we can witness the feeding during lunch time, it's the miracle fishes from the river. They will come up during that hour. So around 10am we're almost already at enchanted river. The weather was so hot that we really want to swim at the river lol. After Jeanete pay the registration to all of us, were heading to the seafoods food court for an early lunch.

Welcome to seafoods food court. Jeanette ask us what we want but I just answered only "it's up to you😁". She just smile and say "okay mareng Jean". We bring a lot of leftover from Dhannah's celebration such as lechon paksiw.

After few minutes of waiting the foods is already at the table. We pray first before we start eating and got a quick selfies for us for a good memories to be added in our wonderful adventure. The smell of the seafoods was so yummy and we're all hungry even it's an early lunch for us hahaha. We've been having a nice chitchat while we're eating, I'm gonna missed those laughters that we had.

Now it's time to go to enchanted river with the shuttle bus. We don't bother the heat of the sun but the excitement to be there at the cold river is our main purpose hehehe. It takes few minutes only just to be at the enchanted river. Baby Collin was so happy while riding at the shuttle bus. We've been passing with a lot of trees. So refreshing and relaxing to our eyes.

Upon reaching the entrance of enchanted river we've seen a lot guests and lot of police men/women outside the entrance. They really make it sure the safeness of the guests. Kudos to the hinatuan government for making the place safe. So as expected there's a lot of people waiting for the feeding and the music started. We've been amazed when we see a lot of fishes while the guy at the pumpboat feed them. There's a lot of guests out there and some are foreigners. They really explore our very famous river at Mindanao.

In this part no one allowed to swim because it's so deep. They make some boundaries for the people who wants to swim. The color of the river was so amazing and it's so cold even if your not yet there at the water.

It's swimming time and baby Collin is the first one want to be at the water lol. Woahhhhh! It's so cold and I felt like I'm in freezer. Even it's very hot but it's freaking cold. The time that I was at the water I don't have enough time to capture the other corner of the area. I'm totally focussing to my son. The happiness overload of Collin was so priceless. He really enjoyed swimming and he was amazed while some small fishes passing in his feet hahaha. He said "mama it's a fish". So adorable upon he telling me.

That's all for tonight and hope all of you enjoyed our enchanted river escapade, we be will back again. Thank you so much to mareng Jeanette for a treat. Better to visit this place because I highly recommended this to add in your bucket list soon. Thank you so much hivers for the time to drop by. Blessed Saturday everyone.
