Then she went to visit her uncle's place in Sta. Fe, another town in the island. She had the chance to hike up mountains for two days. She loves the panoramic scenery on top of the mountain. Then hiked down to the beach and enjoyed swimming. She also loved the fresh foods and seafoods served to her. She especially enjoyed singing with her cousins and friends on Karaoke. She was invited to a festival in San Agustin, another town that is two hours travel from Odiongan. We are welcomed by our relatives to their beautiful home and we walk around the town.

DISCOVER CARABAO ISLAND PHILIPPINES :The NEXT PARADISE TO BORACAY

Erica, a Japanese girl, had her summer vacation in the Philippines with her mom. From Manila, they went to Tablas Island via Cebu Pacific Airline, an hour trip. They stayed at her grandparents' house in Odiongan, the biggest town on the island, and enjoyed the swimming pool at Odiongan Sato Hotel and Resort and loved the hamburger at Jollibee fast food restaurant.

They also went to Binukot Beach Resort in Ferrol, about an hour from Odiongan town, to enjoy the beach. Then, they also visited her uncle's place in Sta. Fe. They were served with fresh seafoods and fresh coconut. Then, they hiked up the mountains and swam at the beach.

After a nice stay in Sta. Fe, they went to Carabao Island, an hour trip by boat from Sta. Fe. Her relatives welcomed her and prepared a sumptuous meal. Then after getting enough rest, they headed to Cathedral Cave and Cliff for sightseeing. Her cousins wanted to dive from the cliff but the waves were so strong. After that, they went to Tan-agan Picnic Grove, a beautiful beach resort with white fine sand and clear and calm water. The kids enjoyed finding starfishes at the beach. They stayed at their relative's house overnight and went back to Sta. Fe in the morning. At around 6 am, while on the boat, they saw a dolphin pod swimming freely in the sea, it was so fast we couldn't catch it on camera.

Carabao Island has still a lot of places to explore. It is around 40-min-trip by boat from Boracay Island, the nearest famous island.

Looc Fish Sanctuary Tablas - The Best Snorkelling Spot In Romblon

Welcome to looc fish sanctuary which is possibly the best snorkelling spot in tablas island and maybe even romblon province.

Looc fish sanctuary is located in the south of the island not to far from binucot beach so took us around 1 hour to get here. On arrival you can go to the local bakery to buy bread to feed the fish (recommended) because there will be hundreds of fish swimming around you which looks amazing.

The boat price to looc fish sanctuary is around 700 pesos for the boat or you may be lucky and meet with joiners to share the costs. From the looc office you can hire snorkels and life vests and anything else you need.

The boat ride is just 10 minutes away and the water is to die for, its bright blue and so clear. The currents are a little strong so if you are not a strong swimmer we advise to rent the life jacket.

Looc fish sanctuary offers some of the best snorkeling we have seen anywhere in the philippines because of the clarity of the water and the amount of fish and star fish you see. looc offers perfect photo opportunities to.

All in all it was a very nice and cheap day to looc fish sanctuary in the south of tablas island and we highly recommend this place for snorkelling if you are in romblon province.

MVUU LODGE & LIWONDE NATIONAL PARK, MALAWI

I spent two nights at Mvuu Wilderness Lodge in Liwonde National Park, Malawi, in May 2016. There are sooooo many elephants and hippos on the Shire River, so wildlife spotting on safari was pretty easy! This video showcases my experience of Mvuu Lodge - fantastic comfortable accommodation, and well worth a trip! :)
