Hi everyone! how much po yung island hopping (Anawangin, Nagsasa, Camara, Capones)? I need the updated rates. Thanks! 😆
Hi Karen, you can find the updated prices here http://www.lakas.com.ph/2011/08/boat-rate-standardization-at-pundakit-zambales/
But it is still best to coordinate the prices with the tour boat providers.
Hi Josiah! Just want to ask yung 1600 na itinerary na nakapost kasama na ba tent doon and boat rental (paunta at pabalik) for island hopping sa camara, capones and anawangin? Tsaka kailangan ba talaga 10 people para 300 per head ang island hopping?
Magkano kaya aabutin lahat lahat if coming from Manila area? Sorry, medyo nalost ako sa prices.. 😕 ❓ 🙁
Hi Christine! It would depend on how many group is. As you know if you travel by groups you’re expenses will be lesser. If say at least 10px, I suggest get a package that includes van service.
Been there last March and feels great to be back. Too bad I haven’t seen the lighthouse due to wave concern. We only docked at the front are of Capones Island but it’s all good. Till next time perhaps but I had a great time enhancing my photo shoot skills.
Thanks for sharing.
Hey Verns, great to know that you’ve been there. I’ve been there a lot of times. I could no longer count. I’m pretty sure you’ll have a chance to go back and get to the lighthouse.
saan mas maputi ang sand sa anawangin o sa nagsasa? salamat
Parehas lang po.
I am traveling to Spain and then to Camara for an entire month to surf, explore and just relax and I am beyond exited!!! Thank you
