After xx years of planning, finally I am able to visit the island and tick this off on my bucket list. It was way back in 2014 I think since we had our Alibijaban Island trip, wherein the place is not yet highly known at that time. We only have limited time which is why we were not able to visit Sombrero Island.
At last, this 2017, we were able to see it and some of the other islands Burias has to offer. Good thing that even if it's already summertime, the place is still not too crowded when we get there.
We joined a group tour in order to save some money. Thanks to JaVee of GalaPH. I first met him when we did our North Caraga trip (Butuan, Surigao, Siargao, Dinagat Islands). We joined forces together with their group to be able to save money. Now he has his own travel agency named GalaPH. So proud of him! If you are looking to join a travel group too for your upcoming travels, check their page and message him. Highly recommended!

The hosted meals I must say are very delicious! It's a buffet, you can eat as long as there is available food at your group's table.
We were not able to do the cliff jump because of the waves at that time. However, we were able to climb and see the view. It was surreal and one of a kind but the next problem is how to go down. haha!.
Check out the little video I made to document our trip. Indeed another memorable trip!

Hi, thank you for touring Burias Island. I am from Masbate Province though not living in Burias, we are from the town city, so glad you did.
ReplyDeleteI really had fun and enjoyed the islands! I'll definitely be going back to explore other islands. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, truly Burias Island in Masbate should be on everyone's bucket list. I like how cloistered the place and the water is so teal and full of life. I haven't been here, but this will surely be penned on my bucket list. Thank you so much for sharing your itinerary with us as well, it would be really a great help.
ReplyDeleteYour welcome! Happy Travels!

ReplyDeleteYes, mas masaya if kasama si baby too. True, madami talagang kailangan iconsider pag may baby na. :)

ReplyDeleteYes, visit it while it is not yet crowded and commercialized. :)
DeleteThe best way to travel is to pencil everything in so you get to see more than you think. I bet it wasn't easy scheduling everything.
ReplyDeleteYes, having a planned itinerary is a way to be able to see all the beautiful places. :D
DeleteThanks for sharing this post.
ReplyDeleteYou are very much welcome :D
DeleteI've never heard of Burias island! So good to learn about a part of the earth that I didn't know existed!
