Five Fingers in Mariveles, Bataan


Five Fingers in Mariveles, Bataan is so perfect in fulling our cravings for adventure. It is a series of coves to the west of Mariveles, that look like five fingers spread out visible in an aerial view.

My friends and I are looking for a place where we can have a day tour with a jam-packed adventures. And we found Five Fingers in Bataan that can offer us cliff jumping, snorkeling, a short trek, rock climbing, swimming and island hopping. A must see paradise in Bataan.

What awaits you, when you get there:

Island Hopping - We started our cove to cove adventure at around 8 AM. We got to visit Talaga Beach, Apatot Cove, Pulong Kawayan Cove, Tinanlakan Cove, and Nagbintana Arch. We had a small boat which is good for 7 people.

We were exposed to the sun because it doesn't have much cover, good thing we got our sun block with us. We also did bought our dry bags for our gadgets.

Cliff Jumping - This is where the real action begins. You can jump from the 10ft, 15ft high or if you're brave enough to jump from a 40ft high cliff. The turquoise water awaits you from jumping off.

Snorkeling - This is my favorite part. We probably spent much of our time enjoying the sea with the small fishes underneath. Be careful with the sea urchins, there's a lot in there. My friend got stung by it on his foot and hand when he accidentally slipped. It's much more safe if you are wearing an aqua shoes.

See urchins handed to us by the boat man.

Rock climbing - You can practice your rock climbing skills here while you get your way to the top. As per our guide they call this place a "kryptonite".

We were having fun saying that superman can't save us here. :) But for me, it looks like the Ms. Universe crown from a far. Anyway, the view is really awesome.
