Barobo, Surigao del Sur: A hidden Paradise

A beautiful sunshine welcomed our sleepy heads and tired body. But despite everything, everyone is in high spirit to explore the beauty of Surigao.

 

At 6 am, we started our day visiting the Bogac Spring in Barobo, Surigao del sur.

Then, at 8 am were off for some island hopping.

From Barobo boat terminal which is located at the back of the public market, we are heading to Cabgan Island which is 30 minutes boat ride.

Since we are a big group, we rented two boats and divided the group based on the boats capacity.

Sailing was so exhilarating. Waves were just everywhere, though not that big but still it gives us jitters and it all made us laugh the whole trip.

Then after a while, we landed in Cabgan Island. But that wasn’t easy; we had a hard time docking because of the big waves on island.

We stayed on the island for about 2 hours; waiting for the Vanishing Island to come out.

While waiting, we enjoyed the white sand, the beach, the waves and the overlooking Turtle Island.

Our guide told us, that we can’t go to turtle island because there is already a native community living in the island and we might disturb them.

At last, at past 10am the vanishing island comes out.

From Cabgan Island, Vanishing island is just a 15-minutes boat ride.

…. And Vanishing island is just superb!!! ✰✰✰✰✰

A portion only of the island comes out at that time and turtle island is just a walk away from the island.

Vanishing Island has a turquoise clear waters and fine white sand.

At past 11 am, we left the beautiful vanishing island and were cruising back to the Barobo port.

….. And we had lunch at Barobo port.
