[princessrio]

yey! booked na kami for calaguas ni hubby next weekend!

[gelatin23]

june 26-28 babalik kami ng Calaguas, any info sa Waling Waling? Hindi ako nakapagtanong while there kasi. May kasama kasi kaming Aussie big boss

[luvko23]

We just came from calaguas may 8-11. Yes halos lahat ngtaas na ng price.
4 pax boat rental for 3d/2n @ Php 4,000. Sa rate na yun we were able to experience fishing. First time namin lahat. Snorkeling ganda ng corals. Alam ko sa ibang boatman may addional fee. Nagbigay na lang kami ng tip after.
Tent rent fee -100/night since may dala kaming tent
Tent rent -400/night
brgy fee -50/person
Entrance fee -150/person
Water per timba - 10 pesos
Cottage fee - 500/night
may bayad rin yung akyat ka ng bundok para sa view ng calaguas beach 15 entrance paakyat then another 20 pagdating sa taas. Pero nakalusot kami kasi walang bantay so libre lang.
Parking in paracale - 300 for the 3d/2n may roof and gate nakuha namin.

We stayed at the left side ng waling waling tawag nila kay "mang bert" because he owns that part of the island. Facilities better cr than yung ibang stations. Lagi meron naglilinis ng cr. But still the basics. May sari sari store sa tabi ng cottages. Less crowded *** nakuha namin area.

Boatman namin si Kuya Joseph. Highly recommended! Overall we really enjoyed our stay at sobrang ganda ng Calaguas. We will surely return. Thank you sa sis natin dito who recommended him. Sorry nakalimutan ko na san page ko nabasa. But thank you again sis.

Boat ride namin was 1.5 hrs lang at sobrang calm ng dagat. Malaki boat ni Kuya Joseph compared sa iba. Boat we used was good for 10pax.

Kuya Joseph's number : 09308198217 or 09127882265. Sabihin niyo na lang si richard ang ngrecommend.

We also contacted mang boy pero once lang siya ngreply. Si Kuya Joseph kahit marami kayong tanong sasagutin niya.

Sis sabi ni kuya joseph 6k pinakamurang room nila. We stayed sa tabi lang nila tent style. Waling waling has cabanas you can search google. Kung ano nasa picture ganun rin sa actual. May contact number rin sa website you can inquire.

[gelatin23]

thanks sis! nagpapahiram din ba ng cooler si kuya joseph? ayaw na namin magdala. what time did u leave manila and what time did u arrive sa paracale?

[luvko23]

yes sis meron siya ice box pero we brought our own. Pag dumating niyo dun paalala niyo na lang that you will borrow one. We left Manila at 7pm and arrived 4am. Medyo napaaga kami. We left Paracale around 6:30am.

Hi! Subscribing here to gather info. Ask ko lang, sa mga nabanggit na boatmen, kanino may life vest para sa mga pasahero? Saka sila rin ba yung may tour package o "travel agency" yung may package? Gusto ko sana DIY pero nabasa ko na mas makakamura kung tour package. Anong activitoes usually meron sa tour package? At kasama ba ang mga fees sa island dun? Thanks!

[shegothim]

sis luvko23 saan banda iyong snorkeling site sa calaguas? noong pumunta kami noon wala kasi kaming nakitang corals.

Sis if marami kayo mas mura pa rin DIY. 3 adults and 2 kids kami our expenses was around 12k lahat lahat na including transportation. If we availed the tour package na 4500/person for 3d/2n more than 12k na yun. Boatman I posted may lifevest sila. Ang ayaw rin namin sa mga tour package medyo maingay sila sa gabi.

sis luvko23 saan banda iyong snorkeling site sa calaguas? noong pumunta kami noon wala kasi kaming nakitang corals.

Hmmmm hirap idescribe. Hehe.. if facing the beach nasa left pinaka far end ng island. Kailangan ng boat pumunta doon at medyo malayo from the beach. Though tanaw mo pa rin yung beach. Maganda yung corals but kakaunti lang nakita namin fish.

[shegothim]

thanks sa info sis. iyan ang kulang sa akin nung pumunta ako sa calaguas. wala kasi akong nakitang corals noon meron naman pala. now may reason na talaga ako para bumalik ng calaguas

[princessrio]

kami naman, 2 lang kasi kami ni hubby kaya we got the services of northlink events. mas mapapamahal ata kami kung 2 lang kami tapos 2d/1n lang. package we got was 2200/head, all in except for transpo from manila to daet.

[Jenny_Ann]

Pasali po... naka schedule kami papuntang Calaguas - may 22-24.. 3days 2 nights,

Sis Luvko23.. Pagdating po sa food.. Pano ginawa niyo? dala niyo po ba lahat or bumili kayo dun?

[FOURever]

Thanks sissies! gusto ko rin sana yung walang masyadong activities na mga firedancing and mobile bars.

^sis anong activities included dyan?

[luvko23]

We brought our own food sis. One ice box full of ice. Then mga frozen food some cooked na para initin na lang some ihaw. We were able to buy fresh fish one morning pero swertihan lang. Much better may dala na rin kayo just in case walang fresh catch.

[princessrio]

fourever, ako ba tinatanong mo kung ano activities included sa package?

kung ako nga, you may check their site. meron din silang 3d/2n at 2700/head. i also believe na meron din silang mobile bar and "socials" but i guess, pwede rin naman hindi pumunta dun sa mga events nila.

Hi! I'm planning a solo travel here in August. Already inquired with Waling-Waling and they have available tent accomodation aside from the cabanas and kubol. Tent is just 600 per night, much cheaper than the kubols and already includes mattress, pillows, blankets etc.
 
Since i'm travelling solo, which boatman do you recommend that wont break the bank in terms of boat rental? I might also try the passenger boats going to Brgy Mangcauyan that I've been reading in some blogs. Anyone has tried this route? Thanks!

[lia511]

Hi! Has anyone tried riding the passenger boat to and from Paracale to Brgy Mangcawayan? Any feedback on this? I'm planning a solo travel in August so renting a boat by myself is too expensive.

Hi,

we are planning to go to calaguas sometime in october. yung sa calaguaslocal.com, yung packages nila ay for 12 persons and above. yung prob is 6 lang kami.

gusto sana namin package para hindi na mamromroblema sa food. since wala naman atang mabibilhan dun.

may ma suggest ba kayo na package na kasama na yung transpo from daet? (cheapest possible dahil kuripot kami)

plano namin mag plane to naga dahil super tagal ng byahe kung bus.
