Things to do at Vinapor Blue Water Resort

Upon arriving at the resort, there is an entrance fee of Php50.00 which will give you access to the whole resort including the swimming pools, park, and front beach.

Swim Inside a Cave Pool

The cherry on top of our exhausting trip from Butuan Airport to Vinapor! Lol. Excuse our sleep-deprived attitude due to our early morning flight from Manila. But at least we finally made it to Vinapor Blue Water Resort!

It took us about 2.5 hours to get here with our flight luggage with us. So we took the time to relax for a moment inside the resort and did a bunch of photoshoot for the ‘gram.

The updated cave pool fee is Php500.00/hour good for 8 people. You have to rent the cave pool for private access. Before you enter the cave pool there will be a short briefing about the sharp rocks inside the cave, areas that needs extra caution, and of course NO JUMPING in the cave and in the pool.

Roam Around The Jurassic-Themed Park

After an hour inside the cave pool, we ordered snacks and roamed around the park while waiting. Inside the park there are animals like horses, giant dinosaur statues, the typical chairs to sit around the park and observe the plants and trees, and other more.

Front Beach Snorkeling & Diving

Tell you what, as ocean-lovers and freedivers we got even more hyped up when we saw the front beach. There’s a diving spot where we saw people jumping into the water. That’s when we took our mask & snorkels and immediately jumped in.

We snorkeled around the area, it was just about 6-10 feet. So if you’re a freediver reading this, the answer is “no, there’s no dive spot here, lol.” There were a few small corals but most of them are dead probably because it’s too shallow and it’s where people jump to dive in.

Swimming Pool Area

And of course, the resort has a swimming pool! The swimming pool is accessible and is part of the entrance fee you paid upon arriving at the resort.
