anliz99 80 reviews

Luggage and bags: Backpack

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: shorts, shirts, aqua shoes

Miscellaneous: Most especially, SUNBLOCK! the heat of the sun is really bad and you will be in danger of burning up if you don't apply every now and then.

Best one to bring as an added protection is the Godiva Anti-Jellyfish sunblock. Best protection again jellyfish sting.

seaurchinako 8 reviews

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Use rubber sandals with strap since you don't only do island hopping, there are treks and lots of sea urchins.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: bring alaxan since some treks are slippery, steep and challenging.

Photo Equipment: protect your camera from sea water. place it in a plastic container or you can buy a water-proof camera case if budget permits

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: bring lots of sunblock and insect repellant. Mainit sa coron at dragon size ang mga lamok esp in Kayangan Lake
