Our journey started in Alibijaban Island, Quezon Province where we stayed overnight. Our contact was Ate Baby. Can be contacted on 09354850349 (TM) and 09300123620 (Smart). She's very friendly and accommodating.
"Dharzie" a small voice shouting my name and I responded, in high pitch: "UY!!" "4AM na!" Camille replied, trying to wake me up. "Parang kakapikit ko palang ahh..." And they laughed. Our social was until 2AM. So, imagine the feeling of having 2 hours sleep, with brandy in my blood. Headache and stomach ache. No choice but to stand and prepared just coffee for breakfast. Prepared ourselves for a whole day journey to Burias Group of Islands, in San Pascual, #Masbate. Van needs to go back to Manila that day, so we were 3 plus 3 bangkeros.
After 3 hours boat ride, we reached our first destination - the Animasola Island, an islet with a gorgeous rock formations. Instead of enjoying its beauty, we prepared and had our breakfast first. When our stomach already recovered, we started discovering the beauty of Animasola. This islet is an enormous rock perched into the water, with a unique and artistic surface. There are plants hanging on the boulders that give green-ey shade on the rock surface. On the other side, there's clear view of Mt. Mayon in Albay. The waters are just ultra super mega clear, as in super! Entrance and Environmental Fees: 70 Pesos.
Our next destination was Tinalisayan Island, still one of the main islets of Burias Group of Islands. The travel time from Animasola to Tinalisayan is almost an hour. What's unique here is the stretch of fine white sand and the stone balancing is another spot for selfie. There are palm trees surrounding the islet, with benches and cottages available for rent. Halo-halo for sale are also available. Camping are allowed. Toilet and Bath are available. Again, the waters are just ultra super mega clear, as in super! Entrance Fee: 50 Pesos.
Sombrero Island was our last destination in Burias Group of Islands. Travel time from Tinalisayan is more than an hour. Compared to the previous two islets, Sombrero is wider. There are a lot of visitors who occupied several cottages and tents pitched by the shore. I also noticed huge water tanks that supplied water to the tourists. Same as the previous two, the waters are just ultra super mega clear, as in super! BUT, the water has a distinct smell, similar to a watermelon or cucumber. Entrance Fee: 30 Pesos.
Our island hopping experience on 3 of the Burias islands was remarkable. Aside from the beauty possessed by each of the islets, the boat ride from islet to islet gave us a heart pounding effect because of the waves. What I knew was we were passing on Sibuyan and Burias Straight. Akala ko nga, di na titibok yung puso ko, pero kapag may malalaking waves at inaangat yung bangka, dun ko lang na-realise na "ay tumitibok pa pala ang puso ko." Upon arrival in Alibijaban, tidied up. Rested and waited for the sunset. Prepared and had our dinner. Called it A DAY!!
