Thank God for this gift of nature and also I am grateful that we were the pioneers to visit the place still virgin, unexploited beauty and pristine.

Day 0: Traveling to Daet, Camarines Norte
An organized trip by my officemate to visit Calaguas Island. At first I was hesitant to join them so i booked my own expensive return ticket (Naga -Manila)when i realized and saw some inviting pictures online.
Number of Pax : 10

Day I: Calaguas Island
Before leaving the port in Vinzons, we made sure that our supplies were enough for an overnight stay at the Island. It's Camping style,we brought our own tents (5), necessities, toiletries,food (lunch,dinner,beverages and more (liquors). To maintain the freshness of our food ,our kuya bangkeros provided us their styro ice boxes. Our contacts has only two small boats going to the island (boat to transport us and the other for our supplies and baggages). The Cons was traveling long for 3 hours compared to 2hr Big Boat Ride. Keribells (Borlogs, Photo-op, Non Stop Chikahan)!.. Reminder: Calaguas Island is facing the Philippine Sea/Pacific Ocean.Expect a Wavy Ride.
