Tricycle Tour

Tricycle Tour around Brooke’s Point, Palawan

January 8, 2013 by Josiah 4 Comments

After realizing that our mission to go to the southernmost municipal of Palawan in the port of Rio Tuba, Bataraza has failed, we rode a tricycle back to the terminal of RORO Bus (20 Pesos/person, 15 minutes) and rode a bus going to Brooke’s Point (132 Pesos/person, 1.5 hours) to spend the night and start early to go around.

Brooke’s Point

We woke up at our lodging in Brooke’s Point around 6AM to prepare for the whole day of adventure.

Before we left the lodging, Dong Ho and I had a small discussion whether to leave our things and go back to get them when we had finished the tour. We decided that we will be bringing our bags as we go around because we do not have a fixed itinerary. A chance to visit an awesome place a bit far from the lodge may occur and it would be a bummer to say no to it due to our stuff.

Ate at the eatery/karinderya at RORO Bus station and asked around on how we could visit the tourist spots of Brooke’s Point. Luckily, we found a tricycle driver and he said that the standard rate for touring around Brooke’s Point in a tricycle was 80 Pesos/hour. Not bad compared to some I’ve seen.

Without further ado, here are the places and things that happened to us while we were touring Brooke’s Point.

7:30 AM Start of Tricycle Tour from RORO Bus Terminal.

7:47 AM Arrival at Barangay Oring-Oring Beach where the largest pearl was found.

Brgy. Oring-Oring Beach where the largest pearl in the world was found.

7:51 AM Left for Ocean Spring.

8:07 AM Arrival at Ocean Spring, a spring water in the middle of the sea water just near the beach.

3 Caves of Bolinao, Pangasinan

January 22, 2012 by Josiah 2 Comments

One of the things I love about Bolinao are its caves. It’s not as adventurous as the one you will find in Sagada, but after a day on the salty waters of the beach a dip on the fresh cool waters of some of the caves of Bolinao, Pangasinan would be a must before you go back to the city.

Enchanted Cave

Our first stop after our late breakfast at Adora’s Restaurant is Enchanted Cave. On my first time in Bolinao this is where swam before we headed back home for Manila. I love how clear the water is inside and how it wash the salty and sticky feeling of sea water.

A little bit of caution though because the rocks on the pool are sharp. Best if you could bring a sandal with straps so you could avoid being cut.

Whole Day Tricycle Tour Around Baler, Aurora

August 22, 2011 by Josiah 16 Comments

Tricycle drivers in Sabang Beach told me that what I wanted was impossible. I just wanted to go to all the tourist spots around Baler, Aurora in only a day. According to one of the tricycle drivers, the tourist spots are far away from each other and going to each places takes a huge amount of time. I would only be able to visit all the spots if I stay at each place for 3 minutes which is impossible since I still have to walk up to Ermita Hill and trek to Ditumabao Falls.

I then asked them regardless whether it was possible or not, how much would it cost for me to be brought to all the places on the list? They all paused and thought for about 30 seconds then a tricycle driver spoke 1,000 pesos. That long pause made me doubt the price, it was not in the standard rates that I heard from the Tourism Office of Aurora. I then decided to take a Tourism Accredited Tricycle Driver/Tour Guide to tour me around. Thanks to June Samano’s Homestay Lodge for giving me the number of a Tourism Accredited Tour Guide.

Getting around and exploring tourism destination would be much more convenient if you avail of a local tourism accredited tour guide. – Tourism Aurora Pocket Guide.

I called the number and surprisingly he agreed to my idea and told me that he will go to my lodging about 7am the next
