After our encounter with the whaleshark and spending a night in Oslob, we woke up so early to get to Dalaguete and climb this minor mountain with our 1 year old Julia. If only we have enough time and not carrying our heavy backpacks, we will traverse to Kawasan falls which will take four to five hours to get to the area. It is our first mountain after giving birth to baby Julia. We have rested more than enough time and really missed going to summits with our kids.
There is a 30pesos entrance fee and a required guide fee of 150pesos per group at the Tourism Center/Hiker's Center. Do not feel wasted of your 150pesos though you can really see the trail going up. Let us help this young men in financing their daily needs. He will be your photographer up there and you will get quality pictures when you are with a guide. Once on top, breath taking views awaits you!
