PolSci 2 TF 4:00-5:30p Olango Island Group
This is another group of islands that lies five kilometers east of Mactan Island. It is considered a major tourist destination in Cebu, known for its wildlife sanctuary and marine treasures. Bird watching from November to March might just give you the chance to see thousands of migratory birds making their way from Australia or New Zealand. Either way you look, whether up in the sky or down in the deep blue waters, you’re definitely bound to see something spectacular. Places to stay are not a problem. You’re in close proximity to Mactan Island and all its beautiful resorts.
Olango, just four kilometers off the east coast of Mactan Island in Cebu, Philippines, is site of a 920-hectare protected wetland called the Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary. Every year from February to April and then again from September to November, the OIWS serves as refuge to thousands of migratory birds traveling the East Asian Migratory Flyway, one of the most important shorebird and waterbird migratory flyways in the world. Here, they feed and roost, perfectly at home in their own peaceful and secluded world in the bosom of Nature.Booking and other Practical Matters
