💡TIPS
Plan your trip ahead especially the timing.
I book all my accommodation in advance thru Agoda. But one of the owner of Puraran Surf Beach Resort advise that I can save by booking directly to them. Just call or message them.
My tour guide said the best time to see the perfect cone shape of volcano is early in the morning or before the sunset. But also it depends on the weather as well. During my visit, it's a little bit cloudy. Good thing my accommodation in Albay has the best view of Mayon Volcano on their rooftop. I was able to see the perfect cone shape the next morning and it was breathtaking. 🌋
If you're also going to Catanduanes from Legaspi, there's a terminal infront of SM Legaspi going to Tabaco Port. There's just an additional fee if you ask to drop you off outside the port.
Poor internet connection at Puraran Beach Resort but the owner said that they already ordered Starlink since internet connection is one of the main feedback to them.
There's a jeep outside San Andres Port in Catanduanes going to Virac for 50 pesos only.
Best time to visit Binurong Point is before the sunrise. Few tourist and not sunny yet.
If you have any questions about my solo travel, feel free to comment them. Thank you! Happy travel! ✨🙂

Hello po. new subscriber here. yung trike tour po ba na 1500 per head po? what if 2 kme.

[@steventravelsph]

ang pagkakatanda ko sharing na kayo sa 1.5k na dalawa dun kaya mas tipid pag may kasama. sana ganun parin ung rate since last year lang naman yun.

[@MarinaLegaspi-k4w]

Hello po si kuya Gil din po ang tour guide namin ok puba sya? And hm po ang singil nya sa pag tour? thanks po

[@steventravelsph]

@@MarinaLegaspi-k4w hi. ok naman siya. around 1.5k ata bayad ko nun. solo din kasi ako. mas makakatipid pag may kasama kasi sharing sa bayad.

[@mairinaziel]

Gandaaa ❤❤❤

[@bb.mimidancel531]

Also asking if how much yung total ng trip mo from Legazpi to catanduanes :)

[@steventravelsph]

around 5k+ din siguro since solo lang ako pero mas mura pa yan kung may kasama ko na pwedeng ka share sa tour, accommodation at food.

[@giancarlodiaz9372]

Hi, pwede pa drop ng details ni kuya tour guide? Planning to visit daraga this coming May, Thank u ❤️

[@steventravelsph]

hello. nakalagay po ung name ng tour guide ko dito sa description box. search mo lang yung FB nila for inquiry. happy travel! ✈️

[@bb.mimidancel531]

[@steventravelsph]

hello. morning hanggang afternoon po bago mag gabi basta mapuntahan ung nasa itinerary. eto yung sinend sakin na destination nung nag iinquire palang ako.

[@erwinonlagada7693]

Hi, malakas ba ang internet connection dun sa dalawang accommodation mo?

[@steventravelsph]

hello. sa catanduanes mahina yung net ko. kelangan ko pa lumabas ng room para makapag internet. pero nakausap ko yung isa sa mga owner dun sabi mag papaconnect daw kasi ng Starlink kasi internet connection daw yung isa sa pinaka problem ng mga guest nila dun. di ko lang sigurado kung naka Starlink na sila ngaun. siguro send ka muna inquiry bago mo ibook. i think responsive naman sila sa FB page nila - 📸 Look at this post on Facebook facebook.com/share/q8QGchr7VNEgpJXz/?mibextid=LQQJ4d

[@dianepamela24]

Hi, yung sa tricycle rental fixed po ba ung 1500 kahit di ko po gusto puntahan lahat nung nasa itinerary per day?

[@steventravelsph]

@@dianepamela24 hi. basically kasi may itinerary na si tour guide kung anu ano ung mga pupuntahan na spot. kung gusto mo ipacustomize ung itinerary siguro i-negotiate mo nalang un kay tour guide at kung ano na yung magiging rate kung mababawasan ung pupuntahan mo.
