Boat Rate Standardization at Pundakit, Zambales

August 25, 2011 by Josiah 2 Comments

I was walking from Pundakit Falls last April 2011 when I bumped into Mang Florante, a boatman that I regularly hire when I am in Pundakit. He told me one of the good news for tourists and travellers who wants to go to Capones Island, Camara Island, Anawangin Cove, Talisayen Cove, Nagsasa Cove and Silangin Cove, it is the Standardization of the Boat Rates at Pundakit Zambales.

Walking to Pundakit Falls

March 29, 2011 by Josiah 10 Comments

There are two ways to get to Pundakit Falls from Pundakit, San Antonio, Zambales.

The beach to Pundakit Falls

The beach to Pundakit Falls

Option 1 (This option is no longer available since there is a fence blocking the trail to the falls near the ridge)

  1. From the beach of Pundakit, walk towards the ridge (picture on the right). You will be crossing the Pundakit River on your way there. You may opt to take the cheap boat ride if Pundakit River has strong current.
  2. When you reach the ridge, there is a small river. Walk upstream to reach the falls.

Notes

  • During the dry season, the river is turned off. But you could still follow the water pathway to get to the falls.
  • The rocks are slippery, be careful.

Option 2 (Advisable)

  1. From the beach of Pundakit, cross the Pundakit River. After crossing, walk about 20-40 meters away then turn left and look for a pathway that is parallel to the beach.
  2. Just walk on the pathway for about 150-200 meters and you’ll be arriving at the falls.

Notes

  • I wanted to put specific points on where you need to turn left from the beach. But the beach in Pundakit is very

5 Peso Boat Ride in Pundakit

March 24, 2011 by Josiah 9 Comments

The waves were 6 feet high when we arrived at Pundakit, Zambales last August 2009. Good weather for surfers, bad weather for island hoppers. No boatman will take you to the famous Anawangin Cove and Capones Island even if you pay them a hundred thousand. Lucky for us, it was Pundakit Falls that we wanted to see.

On our way to the falls, we had to cross a river with a strong current. Strong enough to alter my step underneath the water. Most of my visit Pundakit was summer, on that season the connection between the river and the sea is blocked by a sandbar.

Good thing our guide told us that we can ride a paddled boat to cross the river, I was not ready to risk my camera again. We just had to walk a little away from the sea and we’ll notice a few paddled boats. These paddled boats are
