Bitaugan Whirlpool

I first heard of Bitaugan Whirlpool at Cody’s Bar from a runner/doctor. He described it as a thundering roar of swirling water that was both powerful and spellbinding! He got my attention. Then I heard of the whirlpool again about a man who was swallowed together with his boat…and regurgitated back, only to be swallowed again. This happened 4 times before he was rescued. The tale was so over-the-top I thought it was urban legend. When the Surigao tourism office asked me to tag along a group of guys from Data-Byte, who was contracted by GMA to take aerial shots of Bitaugan Whirlpool, it was an offer I dropped everything for. I even brought my snorkeling gear with me, thinking I can hang-on to the outrigger while I watch the whirlpool from below the water surface.

The surfaces of the lands and waters in General Luna are quite challenging and fulfilling. But an experience underneath the water carries you to the mystifying cool blue colors of nature’s most grand cathedral, under the sea. This amazing underwater rock formation has a vertical hole. Blue Cathedral’s 20-meter (66-foot) diameter hole and 20-meter depth will lead you to a sliding slope, that will bring you to the North and East caverns.The North cavern, with a serrated rock that separates from the top ceiling called the “Sword of Gabriel,” will guide you to a hole which is 10-meters (33-feet) high and a 30-meter (99-foot) long cavern, that will lead you North into the Pacific waters.

From afar, these mountains of lush greenery leap out at the eye in full three-dimensional glory. There is more to it visitors can enjoy once they get to its inner recesses.

Among them are pristine lagoons, sea caves, coves and lakes, some of which are still undiscovered, while others can only be accessed in certain conditions. Read More: https://www.rappler.com/life-and-style/travel/ph-travel/83330-bucas-grande-island-surigao-del-norte
