Pristine Island of Caramoan

January 15, 2022

Hello Lovely Readers of Read world!

Missed another day of publishing an article yesterday because of a throbbing headache yesterday though I still try to write one last night but nothing happened so here I am again writing a new article that I can share with you.

We're already halfway through the month and really time flies so fast that it doesn't really wait for anyone whether you are ready or not. I say wait, and time didn't mind me and just go on his way, so always be ready and always be mindful of your business, however, my topic for today is not about time. LOL Sorry, I just can't help to rant about how time is passing by so fast.

Let's jump into my topic.

The boat is safer anchored at the port, but that is not the aim of boats."
― Paulo Coelho.

Caramoan Island is one of the best islands here in the Philippines. It is where the U.S. version of the hit reality TV show “Survivor” was shot. The beauty of it is secluded and pristine in the region of Bicol. It is about 8 hours away from Manila if you are going to hit the road but if you are traveling by plane, you'll be there in about an hour.

Boats are used to transfer tourists from one island to another as their means of transportation to tour the islands. It is also your mean of transportation to go to the main island. Caramoan is surrounded by small beautiful islands that you can also visit.

Boats are usually rented by groups and it cost about $50 to rent one for a whole day tour of the Island but it varies in size so the rate can be higher too. You can also ask the boat owner to cater for your food while you are touring the island. See that black box that the man is holding, that was our food during that trip. We even grill some fish while we are in the island.

The island is most loved by those who are seeking an adventurous getaway as it is popular because of its different activities like diving, swimming, snorkeling, and spelunking. But the main attraction is the island itself that is so beautiful and also known as a gateway to the other beaches, limestone cliffs, and caves where you can do the spelunking.

There is this tiny island called Lahos where the beach is between two rock clusters that disappear during high tide, so visiting there is really by chance and during low tide only.

One of my favorites there is Matukad Island, it has a tropical forest and hidden lagoon and it looks like it's straight off a postcard. Matukad is riddled with huge limestones cliff that is a treat for climbers. But the best in Matukad is their fine white sand beaches that look and feels like the one in Boracay.

The rate for the boat renting is really worth it. Your eyes will feast on the beauty of each island and it's surrounding plus you'll be enjoying each island that you visit. Each island has different stories to tell and gives you different experiences too. Especially if you are in Lahos and then the tide suddenly changes, it's fun and a bit scary to see and watch how the island slowly disappears and is covered by water.

We stayed there for three nights and four days. And if you are going to ask me if I'll still go back there if given a chance, my answer will be a big yes. The Islands offer so much that you just can't get enough of it. Besides, who will say no to that beautiful sand, water and view. And I almost forgot they have also had a beautiful sunrise that will greet you each morning.

And that is the beauty of the magical island of Caramoan.

And if you make it here... thank you for your time reading this wee article of mine.
