NOTE! I don’t keep prices well when traveling, and prices change over the years so I won’t be able to include them.. I am sorry!

Also: order down here is random, not to spoil the video :P

Also: there is more info about individual places in the descriptionboxes of the video’s I made about those places!

--BOHOL—

► Sleep at Guindulman Bay Tourist Inn: https://bit.ly/2H9U3Mq 

Go see:

► Waterfalls of Candijay (can-umantad falls) 

► Rice fields of Candijay 

► Lamanok island tour 

► Hike behind the hotel and see the amazing valley! Just walk the road inland from Guindulman bay tourist inn for 20 minutes or so!

--LINAPACAN--

I did my tour with Buhay Isla!

--PORT BARTON--

►Hotel: I honestly think there are so many new places, I do not dare to make a recommendation!

►Tours: Jeremy & Jake tours is the one I’d recommend! Did you know I made and organize their FB page?  Just a fun fact! I made it cause I really believe in them! https://www.facebook.com/portbartonto...

--SIARGAO--

There are multiple hotels I can recommend.

►Surfing Carabao: https://bit.ly/2Jup0Oi

My favorite! 

►Ocean 101: http://www.ocean101cloud9.com/

►Kawili: https://www.facebook.com/kawiliresort/ (also for food)

►Tourcompany I used and recommend is My Siargao Guide (book with them through Bravo resort). 

Other places to check out (especially if you rent your own bike):

►Pacifico, long drive but popular surf spot and beach

►Magpungko Rock pool, which is apparently very stunning when the sun is out!

►Tayangban Cave Pool

►Tak tak waterfall

--SIQUIJOR--

►Hotel: Garden Bungalows resort (loved it!) https://bit.ly/2W8IieO 

►Tours I booked through the hotel. Though I would recommend getting a motorcycle and find the waterfalls, beaches and good spots all yourself!

--SIPALAY—

► Sleep in Takatuka resort (featured in the video): https://bit.ly/2wv3KQV 

►Take a tour to Danjugan Island (arranged by hotel)

►Tour the main attractions of Sipalay itself (1000 pesos half a day or 1500 whole day). Excluding fees along the way. 

Including Perth resort (infinity pool), the cave, one more resort and special places along the way. 

You can arrange this tour with Roland Dequina – rolandtours.wordpress.com or 09489358749 

--BATANES—

Visit Sabtang, Batan and Itbayat. 

►Batan hotel: Nanay cita’s Homestay: https://www.facebook.com/NanayCitasHo...

►Sabtang hotel: ask to stay at the lighthouse!

►Itbayat: arrive and ask for the mayor or miss Cano (when I was there these were the only homestays)

►Tours Batan: there is a northern and a southern tour on Batan. Do both of them! You can fit them in 1 day but rather take 2. 

►Tours Itbayat: do the general island tour but ALSO the sunrise tour! That one is the BEST!

►Sabtang: go for the standard half a day tour or sleep at the island and take the extended tour! :D Both are good, it depends on how much time you have. 

--ISLAS DE GIGANTES--

No recommendings for hotels. For tours: do the island tour for sure! It’s the best out here, and very close to each other. 

Also go for the caves and lighthouse if you have time to spare, otherwise just stick to the islands. 

--SIBALTAN (EL NIDO)—

►Sleep in Tapik Beach: https://bit.ly/2MmPm7Q 

You can do all the tours in El Nido from here, just ask at the resort. Also I’d recommend to do an island tour around Sibaltan, ask for the good corals! Mangrove tour is nice, only if you have time to spare. 

--CORON—

Not found a specific hotel I can recommend here. 

DEFINITELY do the ULTIMATE island tour! You’ll see the lakes and good corals, the shipwrecks and the islands. If you do Buhay Isla or an other Linapacan tour, ask what they already cover cause there might be overlap here. 

Climb mount Dalara if you’re done with islands
