San Jose, Mindoro

[bonne g.]

pwede rin magcamp. meron din mga inns and small hotels. not sure kung pwedeng daytrip. 2-3 hours kasi byahe by land going there from san jose. baka mas mabilis kung boat/ banca. pero di ko pa nareresearch where sasakay.

owki! thanks chin66ay! hope i can visit bulalacao when i get to visit apo reef. nakakatuwa kasi puntahan yung mga places na hindi pa masyado explored.

[matetreyes]

booked san jose flights from zest air's 11 seat sale. kaso 2 pax lang kami. eto iti namin:

5:55 arrival at san jose airport, derecho sablayan
8:55 arrival in sablayan, proceed to apo reef, overnight

day 2 proceed to pandan island overnight
day3 depart pandan island proceed to san jose
day 4 early departure to manila.


ngayon ang tanong, wala kaming tent! pede ba na sa day 1 after apo reef e proceed na to bantayan pahatid sa boat at dun mag-overnight?

[rocky]

^sis, walang bantayan don. hehe! baka pandan or sablayan? malayo ang apo reef & malakas alon kaya need nyo talagang mag-overnight don. bili ka na lang ng tent, minsan may sale sa ace hardware 999 lang. tsaka maganda don yong sunrise akyat kayo sa lighthouse

[matetreyes]

ay oonga, sorry. pandan ang ibig kong sabihin. naku yung tent ba kasya na kaming 2? hehe. kuripot mode.

may nagpaparent daw ng tent dun kaso hindi ko alam how much.

may naka-try na din ba sa inyo ng grace island sa san jose?

i've been to san jose mindoro just a side trip before going to bellarocca... i find it nice and very laid back. stayed at tahanan sa isok, medyo malayo pa from airport pero malapit sa town proper. big rooms and really cheap, sayang walang balcony. ang saya lang nung nandun kame kasi besides us, may 1 couple lang na nakacheck in and wala pa sila sa hotel that time so solong solo namin yung swimming pool! actually parang solo namen the whole hotel. unfortunately, brown out nung nandun kame so after swimming naglibotlibot muna kame. we ate sa resto nung isang hotel near the church (sorry forgot the name) and i really love the food super cheap pa nasa 500 lang binayaran namin and ang dami ng inorder namin. bonus pa na may generator sila

sayang di kame nakapunta ng pandan dahil walang time, well at least may reason para bumalik

[rocky]

^^sis matetreyes, kung sa apo reef mismo wala kang mahihiraman ng tent don kasi puro sundalo lang yong nandon na nagbabantay. walang ibang nakatira sa island.

[greenarrowbabe]

Ang mahal pala ng boat to Apo Reef.  2 lang din kasi kami.

Mga sis, sa Pandan Island ba, pwede bang magtent lang? or you need to pay for accommodation pa?

3nights,3days din lang ang IT namin on January. I was thinking 1st night (tent) on Pandan Island, 2nd night (tent) on Apo reef and 3rd night on Sablayan. Ok na kaya yun mga sis? 

[melodymedley]

^Pwede mag-tent sa Apo reef and Pandan Island.

Sa Apo Reef, tent lang talaga ang option mo. Well, you can sleep in the kubos there.
Sa Pandan Island, may non-aircon rooms sila per pwede mag-tent. Not sure if they charge rates in both islands if you choose to stay in a tent. I do not know the rates dahil naka-group tour ako nun.

In Pandan Island, yung group lang namin yung Pinoy. Napapaligiran kami ng foreigners. As in. Nakakabilib dahil they can withstand na limited and freshwater and walang aircon. With plenty of mosquitoes.

[greenarrowbabe]

Nice! Thank you!

Magdadala na lang kami ng tent. sana naman mas makamura kami dun and hoping may makasabay din kami to Apo reef. Hindi ako maka-get over sa 6.5K na boat ride! 

Anyone going there on January 19-22?

[imjuzagrL_20]

usually ang mga guests ng pandan islang resort nagdadaytrip or nagovernight sa apo reef, you can go to the dive shop on the island to check yung time ng apo reef trip nila. puwede kayo sumabay dun. puwede din mag snorkle ka lang sa apo reef, while the other guests dive.

i think entrance fee lang ang babayaran mo if you choose to bring in you own tent, tanong niyo nalang ulit. if wala kayong tent, puwede naman magdaytrip nalang kayo sa pandan island, you can bring your own food and enjoy the beach. u'll just need to pay for the entrance fee. at the end of the day, balik nalang kayo ng sablayan para dun mag stay overnight.

pandan island is really such a good place to relax and unwind.
