Camiguin Island Philippines

In which way you prepare: You can reach to Jagna port by Public busses, Van / Car for hire or taxi. Based on our experienced Taxi comes out cheaper because you only add some percent to the total amount. While private cars for hire comes out over price. Its better to negotiate first. Public busses is good option if you have enough time. From Jagna we took the fast ferry boat to Camiguin. It was a good trip. Though toilet is a bit problem. Always bring with you a toilet tissue.  Aproaching Camiguin you will see the fanstastic view of these volcanic island of Camiguin. Very green and mild temperature very rich in water. The people are very helpful and friendly. The town is small and unique.  Accommodation rates are quite high compare to Alona Beach. The stony shoreline wouldn't feel you to swim at all. The best options is island hopping to the White Sand Island which we didn't do, instead we rent a multi Cab and had a tour on the island. We visited The Kinawasan falls...

Port Barton Palawan Philippines

After Sabang we drove up to Port Barton which took us couple of hours until we came to Roxas which was a "massage road". We arrived Port Barton late in the evening. The bad things was we never made  any hotel reservations which we assumed that there would be no any problems of rooms availability. It showed up that all the resort was fully booked. It took us long time finding a place for a night. Room accommodations are affordable and foods are almost good price. No problem for any type of traveler. Although electricity is from 6pm until 12midnight only which I think that makes this place even more romantic. A good tip: Bring a flash light with when you go out. During the day we are out to the archipelago which just marvelous. If you are lucky you get a chance to swim with the turtles. Atlease couple of them we saw floating in the sea and one of our boat man managed to catched one. That was the most pleasantly experienced on our trip on Port Barton. Out to the Archip...

Sabang to Port Barton Palawan Philippines

We took a Cebu Pacific plane from Cebu Mactan Airport to Puerto Princessa. From Puerto Princessa we hired a Van to Sabang for Underground River. Private transportation price is quite high but more advantage if you have some other to share with. Trip to Sabang takes 2,5 hour and the road is much better now than few years ago " which was called massage road". It was 2:30 pm when we reach Sabang so we managed to have a Lunch first before the tour. But we made a booking for the Boat to the river before, otherwise at 4 pm  no more boat trip for the River is close. Were there are thousands of bats that begins to fly out. Anyway, we had managed to reach to the Underground River tour and its worth to go with. It's the longest underground river tour in Asia. The tour takes 45 minutes 3 km long. Very very beautiful and its a must if you are in Palawan. It is a Unesco Reserve.  You better hide your sleepers or what ever things you may not bring with you on tour because there are...
