Puerto Galera Sightseeing Trip

 

Bringing us back to sea level we cruise to our next port of call, Minolo, with its long tradition of boat building. Here, we can see first hand the traditional "bancas" being built. Eventually we head for a refreshing afternoon swim at White beach. This lively resort town dotted with canteenas and bars is the perfect place to watch the afternoon sun before our return to Sabang.


 

Our sightseeing tour begins in the resort town of Sabang, better known for its coral reefs and clear blue waters. We board the electric jeepney and glide silently through the forest fringed country road to Puerto Galera, our first stop.This natural harbor has become home to yachts and watercrafts of all descriptions, its cafes and souvenir shops sit atop the boat pier. After coffee and some delicious local cakes we travel up to the Reptile Zoo and Organic Farm, to see some rare and wonderful creatures. The cool air and elevated position provides the perfect backdrop for our lunch break. Photographers will enjoy this photo opportunity to film the northern beaches.

Greenpeace campaigns for renewable energy.

We aim to stop dangerous climate change caused by
the burning of fossil fuels by catalyzing large-scale solutions based on renewable energy efficient technologies. The e-jeepney is powered by 12 six-volt, deep-cycle batteries. Its electric motor is similar to that of a big electric fan, and it can travel for 120 kilometers on a single charge. It has no emissions, and the motor automatically shuts down when it comes to a stop, thus saving batteries.
