First, we visited the Bualu Bat Sanctuary, a mangrove forest on the mainland that provided a lush refuge for giant flying foxes. These are some of the largest bat species with wingspans that can reach almost four feet! We strolled through the forest out to sea on a footbridge built over crystal clear waters. I was so tempted to take a swim, but we had to head off to the town center to hop on the speedboat to take us to the islands offshore.  Read More:  http://www.eazytraveler.net/2014/11/maimbung-sulu-island-hopping-around-maimbung-bay/

We went to Cabunbata Falls, a roadside scenery located just 7 kilometers from the city center. Concealed by a few Mahogany and Rubber trees, it is a perfect place to just sit meditatively and listen to the gentle cascade and the whistling of the birds among the lush vegetation.  Read More:  http://togiexplorer.com/2015/08/27/part-ii-forbidden-islands-basilan-and-zamboanga-city/

A long stretch of while sandy beach facing the Basilan Channel/ Straight, this place is ideal for any beach related activities as well as for relaxation. Its white sands and refreshingly clear pristine waters would entice you to stay longer and enjoy the serenity with only the gentle breeze murmuring to calm you. Situated in a coastal barangay 1 kms away from Lamitan property, Calugusan Beach is bounded by barangays, Buahan, Luksumbang and Balas.  Read More:  http://lamitancity.gov.ph/html/calugusan_beach.html
