We went here last month, on a weekend lang. Alis from Manila ng friday night and then sunday ng madaling araw na rin dating pabalik. Boatman namin si kuya ernie. He is nice also.

DIY lang kami. Halos wala pang 2500 yung nagastos. May mga dalang tents yung kasama namin and namalengke na din ng food. Bus lang and boat yung mahal.

^Sis pashare naman ng itinerary nyo and expenses (boat, bus, etc) please?

(Friday night)
7:45pm – 6:00am – Manila to Paracale

(Saturday)
7:00 – Buy some food supply in the market
7:00 – 9:00 – Paracale to Mahabang Buhangin via boat

(Sunday)
2:30 – Back to Paracale via boat
2:30 – 4:30 – Paracale to Daet via Van
4:30 – 5:00 – Late Lunch/Snack in Daet
5:00 – 5:30 – Bus Boarding
5:30 – 3:00 – Daet to Cubao via Bus

Rough ITI lang yan sis kasi nagstay pa kami ng late and we boarded the bus ng 9pm na. Nakabalik sa manila ng 4am on monday.

Total food - 380.
Boat - 400.
Van to Daet < 100.

You also have to pay for tent (merong dala mga kasama namin) and p10 every trip to the rest room.

Hi mga sis! Will seek your help.  My friends and I are planning on February 19~20. Overnight lang.

1. Which is better, Paracale or Vinzons? Saan mas mura and safer kaya?
2. Anong bus liner sa Cubao ang may route na Paracale? Napapadaan ako sa terminal ng Superlines pero parang wala nakapaskil na Paracale but some blogs say they have that byahe.
3. Kamusta kaya ang alon ng February? (sa mga nakapunta na dun ng 1st quarter)

Thank you! 

[purple.strawberry]

^Sis meron kasing 2 terminal ng Superlines sa Cubao, halos magkalapit lang yung dalawa. If I remember correctly, dun sa pa-south bound yung may Paracale route. Inquire ka sa guard or any personnel there.

[omneecka]

Hi sisses,

Sa superlines main terminal po ang may byaheng Paracale. If i remember it right, 10 PM ang schedule ng bus going there. Ito po yung katabi ng 7-11 and Victory Liner.

For more details, you can call them at 414-3319.

😊😊

[purple.strawberry]

^Meron din earlier scheds sis. Better inquire talaga dun mismo.

[zelda]

Thanks sis! Very generous talaga posters dito! hehe

Yep, I saw that terminal earlier. Preferred ko talaga ang DIY esp pag maliit lang na group.  Just a bit nervous sa boat experience na 'to.

[sacred cow]

punta kami ng calaguas ng jan 16-17, sino dito pupunta din nang DIY. baka gusto niyo magshare ng boat..hehe

[zelda]

Mga sis, may mare-recommend ba kayong bangkero? I was thinking of Mang Boy but sa blogs nun 2014, there were several complaints na kasi sa kanya. One sis recommended a certain Joseph. Gusto sana namin yun di taga kung maningil and magpapahiram ng ilang gamit like icebox, tent, etc.

Muchas gracias!

[frustratedneurotic]

meron bang boatman na siya na rin yung nagluluto?
(yung tulad sa el nido)
mahirap kasi mag DIY kasi walang willing mag luto sa amin. and hassle pa magdala ng mga lutuan etc.
so another options would be to find a boatman sana na nag luluto rin.

[luvko23]

^ sis zelda. We would recommend Joseph. Mabait siya and yes you can borrow icebox. Regarding the tent you have to rent that.

[zelda]

^ Thanks girl!  Nagdalawang-isip talaga ako kay mang Boy dahil sa mga nabasa ko sa recent blogs. We're just prayin for the weather na maging ok that week. No LPA, no typhoons.

[purple.strawberry]

Okay din si kuya ernie, siya boatman namin. Contact: 09471109451.

^^^Sis magpackage na lang kaya kayo? Para di na kayo ang mag-aasikaso sa food.

[zelda]

Sis, a tour package was our initial plan kaso most of us ang off ay weekdays. Mostly weekends lang ang package kaya DIY na lang.  Anyway check ko rin si Mang Ernie. Mas kinakabahan ako sa waves kaysa sa kahit ano. LOL

[missreese]

Hindi ba nakakatakot dagat dito? LOL  Di kasi ko marunong lumangoy eh inaaya ako ng officemate ko haha.
