After our failed attempt to visit Busay Falls due to the strong rain that threatened our path with floods, and a very short trip to Cantingas River Resort we were on the Visitor Information Center of Dagubdob Picnic Grove in Baranggay España. This was the last destination of our tricycle tour from the municipality of San Fernando in Sibuyan Island, Romblon.

From the town proper of San Fernando, people highly recommended this place to us. That’s why I had high expectations when we visited.

We paid the entrance fee (20 Pesos/person) and rode our tricycle again to the site proper of Dagubdob.

When our tricycle finally parked after a series of river crossing and bumpy hilly ride, there was only grasslands and rice paddies that have not been used for a while. A guy approached us and told us that he would be our guide, then we started walking immediately.

Call me weird, but I have a personal preference that for me to enjoy a body of water I need to walk a good distance to get to it and Dagubdob was kind enough to make me suffer a little by making me walk through rocky river beds, unused rice paddies and through dense trees with pathways made of carefully placed river stones.

And at the end it showed me a peaceful wonder made of water flowing from one big rock to another.

Tricycle Tour from San Fernando, Sibuyan Island, Romblon

September 13, 2012 by Josiah 4 Comments

After conquering Gomot Falls in Cajidiocan, Sibuyan Island 2 days ago and saying goodbye to 2 of our travel buddies, namely Marky and Pam, we were now in the municipality of San Fernando. One of our targets in this municipality in Sibuyan Island was to visit the island named Cresta de Gallo, unfortunately, we decided not to proceed as this would cost us 2,500 Pesos/boat for a whole day trip. We still had 16 days to go to explore the different tourist spots of Romblon and budget was a real concern.

The afternoon a day before Dazl and I went around town to search for places we could visit and it turns out that there are 3 tourist spots we could visit if we rent a tricycle for 700 Pesos. So we arranged our tricycle to pick us up at around 6AM from our lodging, Sea Breeze Inn, as we wanted an early start so we could explore more of San Fernando. So with Dazl, her cousin and I, we went on an adventure to visit the 3 tourist spots near San Fernando.

Here’s how our adventure went.

5:00 AM – Wake up, freshen up and breakfast.

6:30 AM – Pick up of tricycle.
