Ilog Maria at Silang, Cavite

Hello CAVITE!

I've read about Ilog Maria Farm a few years ago and it was just recently when I was able to browse their website. My curiosity grew when I found Ilog Maria products on the shelf of our local HB1 store in NCCC Mall. I did not buy any of the Ilog Maria Product and restrained myself because I want to be able to visit their farm first.

Ilog Maria Farm is located in Silang, Cavite. I was in Manila the past weekend and going to Silang, Cavite was on my itinerary. To get there, we boarded a bus going to Tagaytay and paid around P70.00. We asked the bus conductor to drop us at Ilog Maria.

When we alighted from the bus, we discovered that there were only very few tricycles in the vicinity. We should have alighted near their downtown area or terminal. I was with four other companions so we just decided to walk 700meters going to Ilog Maria Farm. The weather that day was cloudy so it was just okay to hike.

The road going to Ilog Maria Farm 

The road had some narrow parts and there were private vehicles coming in and going out. When we finally arrived at Ilog Maria, the place had many visitors. Cars were parked outside. Some of our photos are posted below:

Curious about resin, propolis, and all other new bee-terms

Just playing around with my sister

You may visit their Bee Museum if you have pre-booked at least 30 guests.

That's actually the comfort room at the background.
They have the best "outdoor" comfort room that I've ever seen!

Some stuffs to buy. Honey Shampoo, Virgin Honey, etc.

Now it's time to walk again.... =)

I was a High Dessert baby. If you don't know what that is, I'm sorry I can't tell you more. My dad used to sell High Dessert products when I was still very small. High Dessert products are also based on honey so basically, I'm not new being "honeyfied".

If I am given another chance to visit Cavite, I would definitely go back to Ilog Maria and purchase a lot of stuffs there. =)

Maxima Aqua Fun

Located in Island Garden City of Samal, Maxima Aquafun tagged itself as "Home of the Abyss."

I've been meaning to post this soon after we went to Maxima but I don't know what got into me. This never really made the cut until, uhmmm, nine months later! Haha! It's already September 2011 and we went to Maxima last December 2010.

Anyway, the photos below would sum up what you can do at Maxima:

SNORKELING
Find some Nemos and Dorys.
But be careful!
Some fishes are territorial - they bite!

DIVING
This one does not have the gears on him.
Proper diving gears are available.
This guy was just watching the giant clam up close.

GIANT WATER SLIDE
If you are brave enough, you can try this!
Don't leave Maxima without trying this!

KAYAKING
This one is fun when done with friends.

BUBBLE gum?
This one is really fun!

Other features in the Maxima Resort are Canopy Walk, Banana Boat Ride, and Jet Ski. Remember that when you are in Maxima, you are not allowed to remove your life vest, for security purposes. For a complete list of their services, facilities and rates, please visit their website here.

Note: Maxima Aqua Fun and Maxima Beach House are different. I believe that they are run by the same company but they have different locations and different facilities. This post is about the Maxima Aqua Fun. Visit http://psdgroupph.com/ for other information.
