Pinay Travel at Banana Island

One of my favorite island in Coron, Palawan, is the Banana Island. I love this island because I really enjoyed every moment in this place, from the moment I stepped out until I get back from our boat

Girl Travel at Banana Island

As you can see in the pictures, the beach in Banana Island is quite nice, we just had the photo taken on the stony part. There are nipa huts if you want to stay overnight, the view is magnificent! You can see other islands such as Bulog Dos, Malcapuya Island and the limestone island stretching on the horizon.

One of the best thing to do in Banana Island is snorkeling. I think I roam under water twice or thrice. As we were being guided few feet from the beach, we already saw the vast coral reefs and different species of fish. As we swam around the island, we came to the parts of the seafloor two meters deep then next thing when you look down its several meters deep! As we swim further, the fishes multiply and became bigger. Its really magnificent!

During our stay at Palawan, one of our island hopping consist of the famous Malcapuya Island. Malcapuya Island is an island resort which has a white sand beach, coconut trees and buko juice, pretty white house with its own generator if you want to stay on the island for few days, magnificent view from a hill and a nearby pearl farm.

This island is bigger than other island we visited, we did not able to explore the whole place because we are excited to see the pearl farm which we didn't made. Our tour guide told us since it is low tide, we might swim too close to the big shells which is not good. 


Upon touching the land, which is on the other side, we had to walk until we get to the better side of the island. Then we went up a hill, top of Malcapuya Island, to see the nice view the island has to offer. Finally, we went swimming and snorkeling, we did not saw much coral reefs but we saw large fishes.

Just got at the top of Mount Tapyas in Coron! And the view is just wonderful and to be honest we were all dead tired, its 700 steps after all. 

The view on our back is the seas and islands of Coron. And somewhere on these islands, we had visited.

Girl Travel in Calumbuyan Island


Girl Travel in Calumbuyan Island


Girl Travel in Calumbuyan Island, Palawan. After a long boatride, I got bored during the two to three hours ride, we finally landed on this beautiful island. The island that got me 'wowed', dont get me wrong, all the places and islands we'd been through are all beauty but this Calumbuyan is truly magnificent. 


From afar you can see that Calumbuyan Island not your usual island, yes there are the usual white sand but the green and rich trees on this island is uncommon to me. My friend expect there are lots of coconut tree, lol! 


Then our tour guide told us that we can go snorkel along the island. I had doubts on him, really.. Did he expect us to swim twenty to thirty meters from island after telling us that there are sharks in Coron! Well I did play along the beach and found out that just few walks there are indeed coral reefs and pretty fishes! So I grabbed my snorkeling kit and swim away! 


The view underwater is magnificent! We didn't have to exert effort in swimming because magically the waves will move you along half of the island. So when I was on the other end all I have to do is walk a few meters and do snorkeling again, I think I did it more than five times during my stay in Calumbuyan.

Malcapuya Beach is one of the places that is included in our itinerary. This lovely island is about 1.5 hours away by boat from the Coron town proper and is close to some other small islands


Aside from their white fine sand and clear blue water, Malcapuya offers a trek in its island. You can do a short hike and trek along its rough cliff and edges.

Bulog Dos is a small sandbar island located in the Calamianes Islands, Palawan. It is a popular tourist destination, known for its white sand beaches, clear waters and coral reefs. The name Bulog Dos means "two pillows" in the local language, referring to the two sandbars that make up the island.
The island is located off the coast of Busuanga Island, and can be reached by boat from Coron Town.

Lunch at Calumbuyan Island


Lunch at Calumbuyan Island


When we finally got in the island we were so excited, the place is so beautiful and we did a lot of things, tour the island, swim, snorkel, took shots. Its no wonder that we were so hungry! 


We woke up early on the third day of our Coron trip because it would take hours to get into Calumbuyan Island. During the boat ride, we spent a lot of time looking along the view, we also had time to slept.


Lunch at Calumbuyan Island was a feast. Our tour guide was so thoughtful.. We were so delighted with what they serve to us! We also taught our friend on how to use hand on eating or food trip, we were in an island afterall.

Conquering Mount Tapyas










Conquering Mount Tapyas

Conquering Mount Tapyas has a price to pay, a total of 700 steps before you see the paradise above. So me, Sabrina, Alex, Harold and Melvin made our way up. Taking photos every hundred steps going to Mount Tapyas in Palawan!

We really want to document our way up to Mount Tapyas. So in the first picture, we looked happy, relax, excited and stress free he he.. After one hundred steps, we still look happy, relax, stress free and ready to pose for pictures. Same goes to two hundred.  By three hundred steps, we were taking our handkerchief or towel, its getting hot. We were slowing down when four hundred steps were made. As we were nearing five hundred steps, we were officially thirsty. We were moving like snails on the time we hit six hundred steps. And finally, we made it on top!

Kayangan Trekking


Yes, we arrived at Kayangan Island.


But the famous lake is few trek away!


You still need to climb a quaint stone stairs before reaching Kayangan Lake.


But since we are excited, we are all smiles while climbing!


And finally, the beautiful lake.
