Exploring Dumaguete: A Surfer’s Laid-Back Adventure
In search of a unique experience away from the waves, I embarked on a private tour of Dumaguete. With a knowledgeable guide and a laid-back itinerary, I discovered hidden gems and local flavors that made for an unforgettable day.
A Laid-Back Adventure in Dumaguete
When you live a life chasing waves and exploring the best surf spots in Central America, you develop a knack for finding hidden gems and unique experiences. So, when I heard about the Dumaguete Private Customized Tour, I knew I had to check it out. My wife and I were looking for a change of pace, something that would let us soak in the local culture and natural beauty without the rush of catching the next big wave.
Our guide, James, picked us up in his air-conditioned SUV, and we set off on a journey through Dumaguete and Valencia. The tour was tailored to our preferences, and James was more than accommodating. We opted for a relaxed window tour, taking in the sights from the comfort of the SUV. James’s easy-going personality made the experience even more enjoyable, and his knowledge of the area was impressive.
Discovering Hidden Treasures
One of the highlights of our tour was the visit to a craft beer brewery in Valencia. As someone who appreciates a good beer after a long day of surfing, I was pleasantly surprised to find a cherry sour beer on tap. The brewery also served Mexican food, which was a delightful surprise. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was laid-back, just the way I like it.
James also took us to see the Valencia Geothermal Steam Plant and a hilltop gated community with a lighthouse and a glass-bottom view deck. The views were breathtaking, and it was fascinating to learn about the geothermal activity in the area. We also made stops at waterfalls and lakes, each location offering its own unique charm.
A Perfect Day in Paradise
Throughout the tour, James provided excellent recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed. He suggested bringing water and snacks, which was a great tip. We paid for our entrance fees and meals, but the experience was worth every penny.
The Dumaguete Private Customized Tour was a perfect way to explore the area at our own pace. James’s knowledge and easy-going nature made the day unforgettable. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, this tour has something for everyone. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Dumaguete. It’s a refreshing change from the usual surf spots, and a reminder that sometimes, the best adventures are the ones you least expect.
