Biking around Olango Island

Image
One of the reasons why I wanted to visit Olango Island is to do biking around the island, one of my bucketlist is to tour a specific place by biking and luckily Olango is the perfect place for it. I suggest you to go biking when you want to tour the island, it's more cheaper than renting a tricycle and you can adjust your time and go to anywhere you want without hesitations, plus it's super fun and safe. To rent a bike you need to ask the tricycle driver to drop you to Candagsao Elementary School, the place for bike rentals is near the school. Bike rental fee is 10php per hour and the mountain bikes are 20php per hour. And don't forget to bring an ID because you need to deposit it when renting the bike. Places we visited in Olango Island: Boardwalk in Barangay Tungasan A simple wooden pathways made from bamboo where you can enjoy the view, do photo shots or just by sitting there can took all your stress away but be careful on your steps because...

The Beauty of Camiguin

Image
Camiguin is definitely one of my bucketlist, since I was a child I always thought that going to Camiguin is expensive but I was wrong, Camiguin is so much affordable because most of it's tourist spots are government owned/managed and they make sure that prices are reasonable and what I love most about the place is not just about the natural attractions like pristine islands, coves, volcano, springs, and waterfalls but also the people there are friendly and honest. PLACES TO VISIT IN CAMIGUIN: Katibawasan Falls is located 5 kilometers southeast of Mambajao at the foot of Mt. Timpoong. According to the guide the waterfalls measures about 250 feet high which cascades to a rock pool surrounded by trees and ground orchids.   It's quiet a struggle going to the place because it's located at the foot of a mountain, and our multicab had hard time reaching to the top, so some of us had to wait for the cab to pick us down but once you see the place you 'll be a...

Last November 2016. My friends and I booked a trip via Philippine Airlines bound for Cagayan de Oro , it was a promo fare we booked a few months ago, we got it at less than 1,000php roundtrip fare. When talking about Cagayan de Oro: White Water Rafting is always the first thing in your mind, for it's one of the tourism activities being promoted by the city.
