Bora For Juan ? It’s BORAWAN Island !

Another white sand island for the beach bum and campers .This is a place for you!  Forget the busy nightlife  like in Boracay because the ambiance of this place will take you to your inner peace ! Well simple as taking  your perfect time to rest and forget about worries you left behind!

How to get there?

1. For commuters take  a bus to Lucena Grand Terminal. Travel time is around 4-5 hours.

2.From Lucena Grand Terminal, take another bus heading to Unisan. Look for Brgy. Marao or Brgy. Basiao in the town of Padre Burgos. Will take you approximately 1.5 hours.

3.Take a boat to Borawan Island. From Brgy. Marao or Brgy. Basiao, rent a boat to the island. There are a lot of resorts that offer boat service to the island. Use your talent to haggle with boatmen since prices may vary and there were no fix charges. 

Private  transportation: Take SLEX. Exit at Sto.Tomas then head right. Follow the Pan-Philippine Highway passing by the cities of San Pablo, Tiaong, Candelaria and Sariaya until you reach Lucena. From Lucena City, continue to Pan-Philippine Highway passing by the town of Pagbilao until you reach a fork with road signs to Old Zigzag Road (Left) and Padre Burgos (Right). Head right to Padre Burgos until you reach Brgy. Marao or Brgy. Basiao. From there, rent a boat to Borawan Island. There are safe parking spaces in town, just talk to your boatman and they will  help and assist you.

Where to stay?
 Well  ready your tent because ther are no other place to stay  since  no hotel in the island they have  only kubo or  open cottage.  You can rent a tent for a day or overnight as your choice.

Anawangin Zambales 2018 Escapade

One of the most exciting part of this year  is summer.  And guess what people always think to travel , travel and travel. Before travelling is just a part of luxury vacation for those who can afford it but now anyone can  set a plan  and put it on their bucket list. Now let me share our  journey to Anawangin Zambales .
From cubao to Subic Zambales took us 5 hours  considering that It's holly Thursday. Yha, traffic but as long as you have friends with you  definitely no boring moments. At exactly 10 am  we arrived at  brgy 3 Pundaquit . Boat is ready  to shore as we  jump into it as we are all excited to see the island.
From  pundaquit to anawangin Island took us 25 minutes to get there.
Now, what to do 1st? Check your baon or pack lunch  so that you have the energy to set up your tent at the camp site.  Sine we have our package booked ahead of time , all we have to do is to get straight to the camping ground and find  the best spot to  pitch our tent .
Things to bring :
1. Tent
2. Butane stove
3. Kaldero at kawali
4. Rechargeable lamp .. More 🔦..
5. Of course more cokies and chips
6. Lighter
7. Blanket
8. Toiletries

We availed a very good package worth 550 /head supposedly its 1k (thanks Toper sa discount) but wait! thats only for the boat ride and including our island hopping.

What else can you do ?
1. Aside from island tour , they have this mountain trekking where not that high to climb and very easy to navigate.
of course a place to do your selfie but be very careful !  It is also a perfect spot to include in ur IG posting.

2. Camp site - you can have a very relaxing   time while sitting in your hammock ! Yes unlimited space to set up you own " duyan"
Yes enjoy m lang dahil No signal at the area ( waaa no internet but i'ts okay !)

3. Be a star and enjoy the lake between the sea shore and campsite.. Perfect location to meditate.. And Create your own pictorial moment with friends .

With all these activities everything is just simple..but unforgetable...
Enjoy the gift of nature and a gift of life !
