Calaguas Island Group (Do-It-Yourself) DIY Travel Guide

Mahabang Buhangin beach of Calaguas is perhaps the most awesome and gorgeous beach in the Philippines (with Boracay and Malcapuya trailing behind). Apart from the long strip of fine, powdery, white sand, it also features a luxuriant green backdrop, fresh air, unobstructed lying space for stargazing, squeaky-clean water to swim, a wide beachfront to hangout, and many more. You may have plenty of reasons to see the place, but the effort to reach the island group discouraged some. Good thing that travel agencies offer assisted tour packages. However, if you want the experience to be more solitary, exclusive, and noteworthy, ... Read more

Navigating to Calaguas: Another Life-Threatening Boat Ride

The Risk-takers I returned to Calaguas, and I couldn’t wait for my sunburn to heal for me tell you what transpired. Would you know why? Because it was another life-threatening adventure. We sailed in a raging sea again, with waves large enough to consume the precious lives of ours. It may not be as huge as the waves we encountered in Anawangin last January 2013, but still, it did give us the same eerie feel. A friend of our companion offered us to cook for breakfast and had it ready upon arrival in Paracale, Camarines Norte. While waiting for the meal ... Read more

Bagasbas and Calaguas Tour: A Not So Ordinary Adventure

I was invited by a travel blogger, Marx of Maxtermind.com, along with select officemates and friends to join him to Calaguas. Of course, I couldn’t resist the temptation and said yes in an instant. Knowing Marx clever budgeting prowess (naks!), I know I won’t get short of funds. We traveled to Daet, Camarines Norte in two batches; the first batch took a bus (PhP580.00 one-way fare from Manila to Daet) and the other chose a plane to Naga. Those who had the luxury of time to take the bus left the day earlier while those who preferred the plane shelled ... Read more
