Here are my top
lists for activities for summer:
10. Mountain Trekking
or Hiking – hiking on a summer is tougher but still you can feel the comforting
breeze of the summer winds kissing your sun-kissed skin giving you that nature
and calming feel. If you are afraid of heights then you can cross this out of
the list. You can check out these articles for your hiking ideas:

9. Kite Flying –
kids nowadays may have little experience of the fields but kite flying is a
childhood memory to beat the heat of summer on a windy afternoon along the rice
fields or meadows. For a place where you can have your kids fly their kites
check this article out.
8. Food Tripping – filling
your tummy is fulfilling than any activity there is for the day. Eating healthy
and cold food during under the hot weather is a worthy try to beat it. Visit https://diningwithyu.blogspot.com
for any suggestions.

7. Sunset Watching –
watching the sun to go down is a reminder that everything ends after a cycle.
Thus, watching it with someone you love will make it more romantic. It may be
above the mountains or along the seashore. Here are my top 10 sunset views for
2015.

6. Amusement Park
or Theme Park Riding – it’s always fun remembering yourself as a kid and
enjoying these different rides and let the time pass. Having a group of people
with you and all set of “kulitan”, you can definitely beat the heat of summer.
Try out Hong Kong Disneyland or Enchanted Kingdom or Ocean Park Hong Kong or
Ocean Park Manila for options.
5. Beach Partying –
love to part? Party like there’s no tomorrow and tell yourself “We are young!”
and yes beach party might come across your list to enjoy the summer. Find
Boracay and Puerto Galera as your spots. You can also check out Phuket, Nah
Trang, and Panglao for any beach parties.
4. Snorkeling or Scuba
Diving – what else can make you be with nature and beat the summer at the same
time but to do snorkeling or scuba diving to admire underwater world and the
creatures from the deep. Surely winning the summer fun. Palawan may be on your
top list for snorkeling and scuba but you can also try Binukbok Island at
Bawan, Batangas if you are looking for somewhere near.
3. Kayaking or Canoeing
– trying to take it slow and chillax, kayaking and canoeing along the river or
in an open sea will certainly be a good fun to try during this hot season.
Kayaking at Bolinao, Pangasinan beach or in Ilog Malino river or in Taal Lake,
Batangas are good resorts.
2. Wake Boarding or
Water Skiing – wanted an extreme activity during the summer. Wake boarding will
be on your list to try. This will definitely give you the adrenaline rush on
summer. Listing CamSur, Nuvali, and Pradera for this activity.
1. Swimming – as always,
the number one on the spot when we hear summer is coming more likely are we
beach ready. Indeed beaching is one thing that you cannot take out of your list
summer arrives. There are thousands of beaches around the Philippines you can
select from to enjoy swimming. From north to south: La Union, Ilocos,
Pangasinan, Bataan, Quezon, Boracay, Batangas, Cebu, Bohol, Davao, etc. You can
also enjoy a pool just within a farm at Prado Farm which may be a good idea as
well.
