“Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.”― Thich Nhat Hanh, “Peace Is Every Step: The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life”

Tojoman Lagoon is nestled within the Sohoton Cove National Park, protected by verdant hills and underwater cave systems. This is situated in Bucas Grande Islands of Socorro in Surigao del Norte, a fast rising tourist destination and exciting foray for adventure seekers.  The Tojoman Lagoon is also home to the stingless jellyfish in Sohoton.

On this occasion, the jellyfish was in seasonal migration, so we saw less of the species. But the place is very serene, and allows you to embrace the profound calmness in awe. A visit to Bucas Grande Islands is a must on your bucket list.

Special thanks to the Department of Tourism Caraga Region for the invitation and wonderful experience in 2015.
