Don’t forget to buy some chips & water for your tours. Especially bread for the fishes at chocolates pangtagal alat ng tubig. Naku dudumugin ka ng fish halos feeling mo pati mukha mo ikiss na nila sa dami nila…
1100 each – tour A&C combined. Natawaran namen from 1200each * 13= 15600 naging 14000 na [textspeak!], un 300 tip sa boatmen with buffet lunch. Ok naman ang island hopping calm sea, mejo nagging wavy lang sa papunta ng secret beach kaya hindi namen napasok. Our lunch was super sulit. Para kang may caterer sa island, with matching tissues, kubyertos pati pagkain nakaprepare ng maayos. Galing ng boatmen namen talang may dalang ganun sa boat.
200 – Environmental Fee
100 – rent sa snorkels. Kung meron kang personal dala mas ok.

Then we just had emperador at night while having pinoy henyo by the beach.

70 – breakfast at Taytay stopover. Then a little picture taking sa Taytay, Fort Isabel.
115 - per person sa pump boat to UR.
