Calaguas Islands 2023 Update

Camarines Norte’s current main draw is the Calaguas islands in the municipality of Vinzons. I was first mesmerized by the beach and islands of Calaguas almost a decade ago. The soft and fine white sand beach in Tinaga island with clear lime waters (Calaguas means lime) which is ideal for swimming is a true gem situated at the Pacific Ocean side of the country. I won’t be going into detail on this post as most of the things I’ve written on my Mahabang Buhangin post stay relevant to this day. Instead, I’ll be sharing some noticeable changes since the pandemic.

El Nido Island Hopping Tour A Update for 2023

It’s only natural to expect a destination to change, especially if got more popular and the inevitable development creeps in. El Nido is one of those destinations where I have seen change since visiting the place several times since early 2000 and even lived briefly as a local. Recently, I was able to return as soon as the pandemic restrictions started easing. Aside from doing the El Nido Canopy Walk, I was able to join the El Nido Island Hopping Tour A. I noticed and observed some minor changes in how they do the tours these days since I last visited.

Balabac Island Hopping Adventure

Palawan’s allure never ceases to amaze. Coron and El Nido are both spellbinding with their stunning limestone rock islands and picturesque beaches. Puerto Princesa, considered the gateway to the last frontier, showcases equally impressive flora, fauna, and, natural wonders. The south of Palawan won’t be left behind though, as people are starting to discover the gem from down under. The municipality of Balabac is starting to make a name for itself. The southern archipelago boasts islands and islets with vast expanse beaches both pristine and raw.

If you want to travel within the US and need a pleasant vacation spot, maybe comfortable and spacious Cocoa Beach rentals have some appeal. We’ll talk about this sunny and desirable locale in the following article.

Island-hopping Wonders of Ticao Island

The knife-edged-shape Ticao island is another fascinating destination for me. I’ve read articles and seen photos of this island, so I kinda know what to expect – stunning seascapes, rock formations, age-old settlements, and towering waterfalls pouring directly into the sea. And I finally got to see this for myself. After a day of interacting with whale sharks in Donsol, we rode a large outrigger boat to Ticao island, one of the three major islands of Masbate. It’s a 2-3 hours rocky boat ride but no rough waters can keep my excitement.

Return to Palaui Island in Santa Ana Cagayan Valley

It took more than a decade but I finally found my way back to the northwestern tip of Cagayan Valley. So much has happened the last decade or so in Palaui island. Admittedly, it’s the biggest tourist draw in Santa Ana, Cagayan. It has hosted 2 seasons of America’s Survivor series back in 2013. There are other Survivors from other countries that followed. But the most significant development for me is the designation of the island as a “National Park” due to the Expanded National Integrated Protected Area System (ENIPAS) act signed by President Duterte in June 22, 2018.
