3 DAYS 2 NIGHTS, NORTH & SOUTH OF CEBU TRIP

Birthday trip ko to actually hehe, then kasama ko partner ko. First trip namin to Visayas :)

DAY 1: SOUTH CEBU: MOALBOAL

Straight from the airport, we went to South Bus Terminal papuntang Moalboal. Price is PHP 200-250 pesos per head. And travel time is around 1-2hrs.

When we reached the bus stop, mga 12nn na, nagpasundo na kami sa dive group where we booked. Hahaha. First in our itinerary is Freediving @ Moalboal.

Sadly, we only enjoyed 2 hrs of it, since one of our guides are pushing us down to dive (I respectfully decline) pero my partner got super tired kasi tinutulak sya pababa with no proper equalization! *that's dangerous guys! don't do it huhu

Nevertheless, the view down there is amazing! :)

After, we went to our accom sa Pescador View Beach & Restaurant. (dis accom is not for maarte travelers hoho)

DAY 2: NORTH CEBU: BANTAYAN ISLAND

Around mga 5am, we traveled back to Cebu proper. When we reached the South Bus Terminal, we booked indrive going to North Bus Terminal -- otw to Hagnaya Port. Travel time is roughly 2-6 hrs from Moalboal. (yea, I know this is jampacked! this is not your ordinary itinerary haha nakakapagod!)

Ferry sa Hagnaya Port going to Santa Fe is PHP 359. Travel time is 1-2 hours.

Once we got there, nagpasundo na lang kami sa hotel (may free shuttle service kasi haha) and we stayed sa La Playa Estrella Beach Resort.

Nagchill lang kami sa beach front, and nag-billiards (kahit di ako marunong lol) umulan din kasi onte haha. We went here March 29-31 nga eh :(

DAY 3: BANTAYAN ISLAND HOPPING

We woke up mga 6am, then traveled going to tourism office for the island hopping. The tour and boat fee costs around PHP 1,000 for the both of us. (di kasama entrance fee syempre)

Places we visitied:

Dahikan Beach and Kabayo Head Rock Formation (for free!)

Virgin Island, entrance fee is PHP 350 per head.

Baigad Lagoon Beach, entrance fee is PHP 250 per head.

We did Cliff Jumping sa Virgin Island.. hahaha did not know nakakalula pala. Di ako takot sa heights pero dito parang umiikot sikmura ko bago tumalon HAHAHAHA

We skipped Hilantagaan Island cause we did freediving na in Moalboal, but you can include this sa itinerary for snorkeling. :) You can also visit ogtong cave, kota park and ob-ob mangrove garden, which was featured in the local film camp sawi back in 2016 :)

We went back that same day to Cebu City, where we almost missed our flight kasi nagcr break yung partner ko haha. Tumakbo kami sa airport because nagffinal call na. HAHHAHAHA.

T'was fun but medyo pagod. Will come back but medyo laid back itinerary naman hehe :)

6 DAYS ILOILO, GUIMARAS & BORACAY TRIP

Here’s a story time before making it into this trip haha, my friend is from Iloilo kasi, when she booked a seat sale flight sa Air Asia and mentioned it to me, I immediately booked my own flight also. HAHAHAHHA. Hometown kasi ng mom niya, so she went with her (at saling kitkit ako char).

Disclaimer: This is a DIY itinerary, we only booked tour operators :)

DAY 1: ILOILO CITY

We went to try their famous La Paz Batchoy, and tour around the city lang. Nothing much on Day 1. (then from SM Iloilo pauwi na to Guimbal--I stayed sa fam ng friend ko haha)

DAY 2: ILOILO CITY

I tried Roberto’s Queen Siopao (kasing laki ata to ng face ko lol), tried other foods near the area and got some pasalubong all in Iloilo City Proper.

Roberto’s Queen Siopao - PHP 180, Meatballs - PHP 120

DAY 3: GUIMARAS

From Guimbal Iloilo, we rode a jeepney going to the port. (I think sa Parola Wharf kami sumakay) From the Port to Guimaras, it costs mga PHP 50. Then from the port, sinundo kami to tour around. We booked at Guimaras Land Tour (PHP 3,800 for a van, 6 pax with 1 baby). Daytour lang ito, mga 5/6pm we went back na sa Iloilo.

Places we visited:

Jordan Signage

Smallest Plaza

San Lorenzo Windmill

Man Made Forest, Guimaras Signage

BPI Mango Plantation

Trappist Monastery/Giftshop, Pasalubong Center

Alobijod Cove Resort.

We ate sa Pitstop Restaurant.

DAY 4: ISLAS DE GIGANTES

From Iloilo, we booked a joiners tour at Gigantes Island Tours & Services (sa fb)

Once we got there, we paid PHP 1099 per head (sa tour namin all in all), filled out and wait for our boat ride. Mga 1hr and 30 mins before kami nakarating sa island.

Grabe yung lunch namin dito, ang sarap ng scallops. Nag take home pa kami. HAHAHAHA UNLI KASI!

DAY 5: AKLAN, BORACAY

From Iloilo, we rode a Ceres bus going to Caticlan for PHP 300. From Tambisaan Port, we paid Terminal Fee of PHP 150, and Environmental Fee at PHP 150.

We went lang sa Station 1 near D’Mall, and Puka Beach, then nagtry ng mga food at nag-ikot saglit.

I stayed at Happiness Hostel, near Bulabog Beach.

DAY 5: AKLAN, BORACAY

Here, nagpunta kami sa Diniwid & Bulabog Beach nung morning. Kumain muna kami sa Sunnyside Cafe for breakfast. Then around 1PM, I booked a freediving session at Freedive Boracay (PHP 2,000) for 2-3 hours.

At night, I went solo to Percy Seafood (ang sarap ng oysters dito!) and tried Coco Mama (did not like that much).

DAY 6: MANILA

Is actually my flight going back to Manila na early morning :)

Basically that sums up the trip! We had a good time although we did not get to visit much, I am still happy with how the trip went :)

2 DAYS 1 NIGHT, MANIWAYA ISLAND, MARINDUQUE TRIP

I went on this trip with my best friend (actually, medyo biglaan 'to kasi ang tagal naming makapag-decide 😅). A week before the trip, may bagyo pa dito—so we were super lucky na maaraw nung nagpunta kami.

DAY 1: MANIWAYA ISLAND

This was a joiners tour we booked sa MJ Destination Travel and Tours for PHP 2,499 — all inclusive, including food. We got picked up around 10:00 PM the night before at McDo Panay Avenue.

Upon arriving in Quezon, we took a boat ride to the island (around 1–2 hours). We originally planned to get a fan room, pero the shared CR was super dirty, so we asked around if we could join another group’s room (8 people total) that had a private CR. Thankfully, they were super nice and let us join them. 🤍

After settling in, we went straight to the island hopping tour.

Places we visited:

Mongpong Ungab Rock Formation

Palad Sandbar (sadly we didn’t catch it in time 😢)

Maniwaya Island

After the tour we went back na sa island, nagchill, cleaned up and had a great time just relaxing with my bestfriend.

DAY 2: MANIWAYA ISLAND LAND TOUR

I woke up mga 5am to chill for the sunrise (but unfortunately, it wasn’t visible 😅) tapos nagland tour na kami ng bff ko (habal habal lang) for PHP 300. (150 lang pala lol)

Places we visited:

Century Tree

Sunong Bato (back beach)

Butterfly Farm

Moriones Statue

Finally able to see Maniwaya in Marinduque. I am so sad to leave I had to compare it to other beautiful places so I have something to look forward to. Hahaha. Definitely will come back sa main island to dive :)

2D1N ANILAO BATANGAS (freediving)

I was planning to dive early 2022 pa but I have different priorities that time, and did not have the money pa. HAHAHAHA. So 2 years later, I am here.

I feel like parang dive at first sight 'to, kasi I am looking forward na sa next dives ko sa iba't ibang lugar sa Pilipinas. Super fun & saya nung experience, kahit nahirapan ako mag-equalize at first. The crucial part kasi is you have to be relaxed. Later ko na lang na realize na I am too tensed pala kaya I was not able to equalize properly.

Ang saya pa kasi kasabay namin mag-dive mga turtles!!!! I am so happy hehe :)

I actually went solo here, and met a few friends din. The community's so nice at Lakbay Freediving, but I have few reservations lang na hindi ko na ishshare. Hahahha. Try nyo guys, ang saya promise!!
