Droughtiness at Cagbalete Island - May 2014

For you to reach the Cagbalete Island, you need to ride a boat at Mauban Port. The ride will take around forty-five (45) minutes to one (1) hour, and costs Php50.00.

As a person with fear of deep blue water, I need to endure the long ride. We were all excited when we saw the island from afar! Oh, what a beauty!

And hola! We need to walk one (1) km just to reach the resort due to low tide. It felt like forever. I was not expecting this. HAHA. 

                                          FINALLY! We've reached the resort! My goodness.

We stayed at Villa Cleofas. It's a simple kubo type cottage which costs Php3,000.00 good for 12 persons. We rested and took pictures (Cagbalete Island is picturesque during low tide) until 5:00 PM to wait for the sea to reach the shore. At night, people were building bonfires. Of course, we also did ours.

I loved the sea when the sun shined the next morning. Everything was crystal clear! This was the best time to swim! But we need to checked out around 11:00 AM and ride the boat back to Mauban Port before low tide.

I can say that Cagbalete Island is okay for barkada getaway!
