Tourism

The Municipality of Opol has existing tourist establishments, namely: the Crocodile and Ostrich Farm in Malanang, the only Apple Beach Resort and Hotel, Roan Beach Resort, Marvilla Beach Resort, Ajis Water Sports and 8 more beach resorts situated along the shore of Taboc, Opol facing the Macajalar Bay. A variety of water sports activities ranging from Banana Boat Rides, Jetski Rides, and skimboarding along the long stretch of the Opol beach can also be seen.

There are also three existing Seafood Restaurants in Opol situated along the seashore of Poblacion. Dining in the said restaurants can be a pleasant avenue for watching the panoramic view of the Macajalar Bay and viewing the famous island of Camiguin and viewing up the green forest of Malasag, Cagayan de Oro City.

The potential tourist spots for development are the caves in Barangay Awang and Bagocboc. Another potential destination is the Abaga waterfalls in Malanang, it has an area of two hectares and fit for swimming, mountain biking and adventure. The Indigenous People in the six hinterland barangays can also be a potential for cultural tourism. Moreover, the Lumads wedding ceremonies are being practiced by our brother Lumads in the municipality. The cultural dances and Lumads’ musical instruments are still preserved in the six IP communities in Opol.  The Lumads’ traditional ceremonies before planting and harvesting seasons still exist.
