A Perfect Survivor Get-Away!

kemisteryoso Says: It is our last destination before going home. It is about 30 minutes banca ride from Bikal Port. You have to be prepared on this. Bring your ankle or leg support because you will climb about 523 big steps to see the panoramic view of the surrounding islands aside from the...
have a walk and explore the town
kemisteryoso Says: visitors usually just do island hopping when they are visiting Caramoan. Try to explore the country side by walking. No heavy traffic and pollution so it's okay. We even went far off the road to get near a swamp and see hundreds of birds playing or Just simply enjoy the lush...
Caramoan Bed and Dine: Don't miss this resto...
kemisteryoso Says: Where we ate our lunch when we extended our stay for another day.Walking distance from REX Tourist Inn. The place is a bit small but the interior decoration fits the local environment. I can tell base on the guest book that lots of foreigners ate at Caramoan Bed and Dine....
Lutong Bahay: Rex Tourist Inn's Restaurant For Guests
cyndymc Says: Rex Tourist Inn's guests who don't avail of the packaged tours are referred to their restaurant, Lutong Bahay. It is very near the inn, but we didn't eat any meal there. Hubby didn't like the ambience. The restaurant had the usual provincial carinderia-type of setting where...
Videoke at marian and leonardo's: Sing at Caramoan
kemisteryoso Says: If star gazing is not possible then try to sing.No fine bars or disco houses but if you want to have an nightlife then try Mariana( few meters walk from Rex) and Leonardo. These are typical videoke houses on a small town no comfortable chairs or fine tables but it is okay if...
Take Boat From Sabang Port To Caramoan
cyndymc Says: It was our first time to go to Sabang Port so we had no idea what the place looked like. When the other passengers got off the Filcab van we rode from Naga City, hubby Willy and I knew that it must be the place. We were surprised that there was no structure whatsoever that...
kemisteryoso Says: Bus trips start at 7 PM and be sure to book a week before your trip to have a better seat. Raymond is just okay but not so nice like Penafrancia or Isarog which are more comfortable they have Comfortech, lazyboy and captain seats to choose from. There is no seat available...
(No Store Name for Home Business): Abaca Slippers
cyndymc Says: While walking back to Rex Tourist Inn from the restaurant of Caramoan Bed & Dine, we saw some native souvenir items and abaca slippers being sold at the frontage of a house (not a formal structure of a store). You can buy slippers and decor made of abaca...Please don't...
(No Store Name): Bottled Sands of Caramoan
cyndymc Says: From the same "store" where I bought my abaca slippers, on display were bottled Caramoan sands. I'm surprised to see the decorative bottles with Caramoan sands because in Boracay, it is prohibited to gather sand for souvenir purposes, more so for sale.I didn't buy because I...
Caramoan People Help Without Expecting Repayment
cyndymc Says: Mr. Neheil "Calet" Plopinio is the first Caramoan local we met. Our first meeting was accidental. Hubby and I were at Plaza Rizal in Naga City when it started to shower. We couldn't take pictures so we decided to have lunch. I approached a man walking through the Plaza and...
cyndymc Says: I met an old man in Kabutonan Island busy making a 'banka". He is known to be much sought by those who like "bankas" made the traditional (handcrafted) way. I didn't dare go near him as I noticed he was so focused on his work, even working past lunch time. When I saw he had...
kemisteryoso Says: Our trip to Caramoan was actually a bad weather. A typhoon is coming. My travel buddies said, "Rain or shine" and because everything was already laid down so we continued our trip. We were allowed to sail the sea because no typhoon signal was raised yet but the journey was...
What Your Tourist Guide Or Hotel Won't Tell You
cyndymc Says: What your tourist guide or hotel/resort won't tell you, the locals can tell you. I wanted to know how rough the waters can get during the rainy season. The boatmen said they still ferry many tourists to the islands during the rainy season. But I was told by a local whom I...
Don't Be Stranded In Caramoan Guijalo Port!
cyndymc Says: The last REGULAR trip from Guijalo Port to Sabang Port is 11 AM. Beyond that, you'll have to hire a boat. In case you miss the last trip, and you have no choice but to rent a boat, know the prevailing price. Ask the hotel staff to refer you to a boatman/contact. I was told...

kemisteryoso Says: The bad weather hindered us from doing some more Island Hopping activity so Rex brought us to a secluded beach that did not require riding a banca so we walked a long way for it. It is better than to do nothing, it was something new. The place is okay, a little pocket of...
Guardian of the Matukad Lagoon
itgbkj Says: Treacherous as the climb may be, it is worth the risk getting to the top to see the lagoon. If you're lucky, you'll see a two feet long Bangus (milkfish) that swim in the water in the middle of nowhere. The locals say that it's the Guardian of the Lagoon.Urban legend say,...
kemisteryoso Says: Visit the islands of Lahuy, matukad, Bichara, Pitogo, Minalahos, Cotivas, Hunungan and also Patag belen Water falls. Climb the Our lady of the Holy rosary grotto at Tabgon. My best memory about this place is the walk towards Lipata and around the town of Caramoan. Plus the...
Plan-out your Itenerary on your Island Hopping
itgbkj Says: There are just so many islands to visit in Caramoan. The are is simply huge! As such, it's best to sit-down with your boatman/tourguide before you venture off into the water.my suggestion: get a list of islands you'll visit know the time it takes to travel to-and-fro know...
