    Absolutely gorgeous!!! I loved this beach!! Station 1 is nice and quiet, Station 2 is where Dā€™Mall is at so it is busy and the locals are hustling for business, which can be a bit annoying but itā€™s understandable, cause itā€™s their ā€˜bread and butterā€™.

    What an amazing experience to see one of the 7 Wonders of Nature. It was sort of a process to set this up. We had to get to the ticket office first thing in the morning, pay for your parking pass as our driver waited while we did the excursion, pay for a tour guide, pay for the boat fee, then wait in the queue for our number to be called. We all noticed the amounts of people that also came in groups to go on this excursion.
    By the time our number was called, it was our turn to board the boat. It was only us 4 plus the tour guide and 2 boatmen. It took a short 30 minutes or so to reach the island. From there, we get our life vests and helmets and wait for another boat tour guide to take us on another ride. This time, we set up with self guided audio because noise is refrained while in the caves. There are hundreds of bats that live in captivity, also no one is allowed from touching the interior of the caves to protect the surface from changing colors or conditions.
    Most interesting part about the cave was that a lot of the shapes of the stalagmites and stalactites were similar to fruits and vegetables, biblical references, famous people, and just about anything imagined.
    Wild monkeys and large lizards roam the island, you're also able to purchase souvenir pictures as a photograph is present. No lunch is served like the other island tours, but it's one of the most fascinating places l've ever been to!

    I strolled Intramuros for an hour or two (on a 100 degree day, mind you), and the sights I saw were quite interesting and unique. The cathedral in particular was beautiful. I enjoyed people-watching and watching locals live their lives.

    However, the constructionā€¦every corner I turned, workers were digging up the road. I understand theyā€™re trying to preserve and improve things, but from this one experience at an objective point of view, I really disliked the roadwork. Driving my electric wheelchair on the streets to begin with, already stressful as is, was made nearly impossible with construction part of the equation.

    There also werenā€™t many places to go in (at least that seemed open to visitors) and not many places to eat that werenā€™t blocked off. I got a bit lost and confused at times when trying to find my way around, which is often part of the fun, but Manila as a city in general did not impress me. Subjectively.

    Perhaps experience Intramuros for just an hour en route to something else (e.g. Fort Santiago). I may return once construction season dies down.

    We were told this area is more secluded. Going from station 1 at fairways bluewater resort it costs 200-250php takes 15 minutes.
    We went early so the tuk tuks didnā€™t really want to takes us as there were no return rides for them. I understood this so i gave the driver a tip to make up for his return.
    It is rougher at this area going in. The beach sand is good and the water cool and clear. There are little open cafe grills and souvenir stalls.
    The guys who run the beach will provide you with a mat to lay on and will fetch you cold drinks food etc.
    some will want you to pay for the boat trips over to the cave lagoons. I was a bit unsure of pricing for this so we skipped it but the caves looked nice on the pics.

    We only went there to swim really and check it out. It was a nice visit lovely beach
    We bought a few beers nearer lunch but they were not cold enough so expect that. And 150php each for san miguel light 330ml can

    Palawan is one of the best island here in the Philippines specially El Nido , I came here with my friends and we're happy to choose El Nido because on the first day we got here we planned to go for a tour and we picked Tour A and we're all amazed to this Island called Big Lagoon, I enjoyed kayaking and swimming here with my friends , The stones are amazingly beautiful and the sea water are clear and clean!

    Incredible place to visit when visiting Bohol. What really struck me about this place was the man hours it must of took to build the terraces by hand without machinery. To this day the rice is planted and harvested by hand, absolutely incredible. The ride off the main highway is an adventure within itself. Itā€™s actually a beautiful drive up into the foothills. WARNING! As soon as you turn off the road onto the one lane track to restaurant/terraces be extremely careful especially if youā€™re riding a scooter. One wrong move and youā€™ll swimming in a rice patty. If youā€™re unsure or not used to driving a scooter it might be better to just park and walk. The restaurant is basic, but the food is actually really good. Itā€™s local cuisine and made fresh. If you feel adventurous and in decent shape you can walk down the stairs/path (from restaurant) to get a view of the lower terraces.

    Fort itself is more of a ruin that an active fort, worth a look around and only 75 peso entry.

    Some areas are ok to see and you can get a good feel how fort would have worked, surrounding walls in good shape and good to see.

    Dungeon area very well preserved and explained with the horrors that occurred in there, also on day I visited lots of school groups so good that local students explore history of country.

    In all good to see and do, you can visit in under an hour.

    Upon arrival my group was cordially greeted. We decided for a guided walk through. Dilfer gave a very informative 35 minute talk the history of the house. Afterwards we enjoyed a snack at the cafe. All of us were impressed with our visit.
