Featured Testimonial of the Week

"Definitely one of the best holiday destinations!  The service was excellent, all staff wore a friendly smile and were very attentive to our needs - we didn't even have to ask! The food, OMG was brilliant - even those on a diet would forget!  We were fortunate enough to meet the owner Mr. Fuji Rodriguez, who is a very lovely chap.  He told us a lot about Palawan, the island and the turtles, as well as his truly inspirational life.  I love the fact that the island is self sustaining in a sense that the water comes from rainwater and sometime desalination of seawater.  The food for the turtles are from the sea and one can sense that they are really cared for. All the best for Isla Arena!"

Catch a Falling Star in Arena Island: Lyrids

When was the last time that you saw a shooting star? Or ever wished upon a falling star?
  
 Here at Arena island, one of the activities that we have is stargazing. With our telescope ready for set-up, we let the guests take advantage of the star-filled sky and learn the basics of astronomy through our friendly staff.

In line with this, tomorrow, April 21-22, the sky will be filled with a lot of meteors or shooting stars as we know it, because of the Lyrids Meteor Shower. Guests tomorrow will be able to enjoy this astronomical event by the beach and if all goes well,  according to www.earthsky.org:

Tonight presents another good night for the 2012 Lyrid meteor shower, from late night Saturday (April 21) until dawn Sunday (April 22). Usually, the hour before dawn is best, regardless of time zone. The Lyrids are generally a modest shower, offering perhaps 10 to 20 meteors per hour. But with no moon to ruin the show, 2012 is the time to watch the Lyrids.

Lyrids was named after the constellation Lyra, the Harp from which most likely, the meteors will occur.

In order for you to observe these meteor shower, all you have to do is find a dark spot (less light pollution, the better), lie on the ground and try to find Vega, the Alpha Star (brightest star) of the constellation Lyra. It would be better if you can download a star map which contains the sky for the night so that while waiting for the meteors, you can identify other visible constellations too in the sky!

Happy wishing!
