Bantayan Island is one of the worst-hit islands in the Philippines caused by the devastation of Super Typhoon Yolanda six months ago. It saddens me while looking at the photos for I could see how damaged the island was. I was so stoked when my sister and I planned going there this summer. I can still remember the beauty of that paradise way back seven years ago.
It was 3 in the morning when we took a bus to Hagnaya and arrived there at 7 in the morning. From Hagnaya, we rode a barge to Bantayan island for an hour. Island life excites me!
When we arrived in the island, we did some resort hopping because most of the resorts are fully booked! Lesson learned: never ever travel without booking any reservations! But God is so good. We ended up on a room in Sugar Beach. It was a kubo with ac. Uh huh
The things I love about Sugar beach are its long seashore and the fine sand until the beach. The water is so clear I could see my future! Agh!
At 12 noon, we rented a bangka and went to Virgin Island.
The bangka costs 900-1200 and you don't have to worry because the time is unlimited. Then you have to pay 500 pesos once you touched down at Virgin Island. It also serves as the entrance fee of two people and additional 100 pesos for each exceeding person.
Virgin Island is really beautiful! You can walk with the fishes by the seashore. You can actually have fish massage for free! As I said before, I am afraid of fishes. No matter how small they are. Maybe I could give exemption to starfishes because they are cute. However, they aren't fishes, so what am I saying right now doesn't make sense. Lol
Annyeong from our new friends!
Arrived at our room around 5PM. We were exhausted that we didn't notice all of us had a deep slumber. We had our late dinner at Cou Cou Bar and Restaurant. It is just five minutes away from where we are staying. The place was pretty chill and their foods are really good. I would greatly recommend you to try there if you have plans on going to Santa Fe.
