BUNTOT PALOS, LAGUNA: Day Trip Hiking Itinerary and Budget

PART ONEComing from Cubao, we took a bus headed to Sta. Cruz and a jeepney ride to Panguil. For some confusion, the jeepney driver accidentally dropped us at Pakil Church instead of Panguil Church. So we asked around. They said we were dropped a few kilometers too early. So we rode another jeepney …

MT. PINATUBO, TARLAC: Day Trip Hiking Itinerary and Budget

A BUMPY RIDE6AM - A 4X4 RIDEIt was roughly ten kilometers from the jump-off to the crater of Mount Pinatubo. The familiar fresh “province” air greeted our faces for a while as we traverse to the sand and ash trail. It was bumpy ride, i won’t be surprised if some 4x4 vehicles broke down or tore a ti…

BALER, AURORA TRAVEL GUIDE (DIY ITINERARY + BUDGET)


BACKGROUND STORY:

JULY 25, 2015 7:00PM

I accidentally detailed our Trip to Baler. After our Cebu-Bohol trip, Justin and I were already in the check-in line for our 8:05pm flight from Cebu to Manila. We heard some commotions in the counter. I already expected that our flight would be delayed— maybe for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

BOHOL: Countryside Tour



DAY 3: JULY 23, 2015

We arrived at the Cebu Port Terminal at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The only flaw from our itinerary was the ferry tickets. We cannot book ferry tickets beforehand, so we hoped our target ferry would still have available slots for all of us. Our target ferry was the 3:30pm ferry ride of MV Starcraft from Cebu to Tubigon worth 170 Php. The only available ride was the 5pm slot, so we still pushed through and waited in line, but unfortunately, there were only limited slots and the remaining few would cost 350Php. All for one and one for all, right?

OSLOB, CEBU: Whale Shark Encounter & Tumalog Falls


WHALE SHARK ENCOUNTER

DAY 2: JULY 22, 2015

After the 3-hour trip from Badian, Cebu, we arrived at the BCD’s Place in Oslob around 9pm. Although it felt like a 15 minute ride— we all fell asleep through the whole trip. We booked BCD’s Place beforehand and I swear it was one of the great deals we took in this trip. We bought a ticket for the whale shark encounter for only 500 Php instead of 1000 Php. So we took a shower, ate our dinner and hang out near the beach.

KAWASAN FALLS, CEBU: Canyoneering


CEBU & CATMON

DAY 1: JULY 21, 2015
We arrived in Mactan International Airport a little delayed at around 11 in the morning. We hired a van to take us on a city tour. It was convenient enough to lessen our luggage and backpack problems. It was a chill outing— perfect for a “barkada” or group outing. Now we’re all set!

JUAN FOR FUN 2015: Davao




JUNE 30, 2015 - DAY 7

Davao is the largest city in the Philippines. It was also ranked as one of the most livable cities in Asia. We arrived at Davao International Airport around 8am and booked a very lucky tour just outside of the airport. The tour guide was just waiting outside of the airport, waiting for some tourists to hire him. For a sweet deal and a comfy van, we took his offer.

JUAN FOR FUN 2015: Cagayan De Oro

JUNE 29, 2015 - DAY 6

We took the 7am ferry to Misamis Oriental from Camiguin. It was roughly an hour and a half minutes. From the port, we hired a van to take us to Cagayan De Oro (1 hour travel time) and tour us around the city.
