Matukad Island

Reviewed By ankurjain9 - Batangas City, Philippines

A beautiful beach, almost 35 minutes boat “Bangka” ride from the Tugawe cove resort where we stayed. And, 5 minutes boat ride from Lahos Island. A lush green small island with two white sand beaches. The sand is fine like powder. Very smooth. Not a good snorkelling point though, good for swimming. One can take very good photographs for remembrance. A must to see on Caramoan island hopping spree.

Malabsay Falls

Reviewed By Trendpunk - Dauin, Philippines

Really nice spot, it takes about 5-10 mins to hike from the entrance. Entry fee is 50php You can get a jeepnee from Centro (naga) almost the whole way for 30php, (may be 20 I forgot) then a motorbike rider will take you from where the jeepnee drops you to the entrance for 40-100 php.

Panicuason Hot Spring Resort

Reviewed By mikeclearwatersg - Singapore, Singapore

Naga to Panicuason Day Trip — I went on a Thursday morning — If taking public transport, take the Panicuason jeep infront of Hong’s Entrrprises (right in the middle of city center; find in Google maps) — Jeep waiting time is at least 30 minutes; the jeepney needs to be full (of passengers) before it leaves the terminal — trip is approximately 45 minutes; one jeep has 26-30 passengers so be prepared to get squeezed; fare is P25 one way — tell the driver to drop you off at Panicuason hot spring; it’s beside the highway with a signage — pay P200 entry fee at resort entrance beside highway; it’s 1.3 km from the highway to main resort — if you feel the 5 minute motorbike trip at P40 one way is a rip off, be ready for a hike although most of it is downhill; from the resort going back to the highway, the hike therefore is more uphill and therefore more intense; not recommended for senior citizens and children — the hike is 15-20 minutes one way, not an hour. I know the timing better than the other reviewer as I actually hiked the entire route — if you’re paying just the entrance fee, you’ll have no table and chairs to dump your stuff at the resort. Keep your belongings safe by keeping an eye on them all the time. Bring them near the pools where you swim. — the shower and changing room is not convenient which near the entrance/ exits — bring slippers/ flip flops! I made a mistake of not bringing one. The pools to the shower/ changing rooms are not connected by smooth pavement so tough luck if you didn’t bring any as you need to step barefoot on the painful gravel — the warm/hot water pools is on the side of the mountains while the freezing cold water is on the other side — going back to the city means waiting for the jeep by the highway which take as long as 30 minutes Now to the things I like: — beautiful greenery and lush forest — well-maintained pools — clean and hygienic area — polite and attentive staff — affordable price for a real hot spring (not just warm water like in Los Baños) — visitors have mentioned water becomes dark from silt at the bottom being disturbed. Not the case now as when I visited, the floor pools are all cemented — highly recommend! You can soak in the pools and feel relaxed even if it’s noon. Just find the one with tree shade. Suggestions to improve: — I noticed the resort is beside a cliff so abseiling and rock climbing can be added as sports; I have a sports certificate for both and I know a nice, challenging cliff when I see one! — For management: for tourists who don’t bring slippers, please connect the main walkway to the shower/ changing rooms. Walking thru the pebbles is painful
