Mayon Volcano

Reviewed By Berniepi27 - Dumfries, United States

The highlight of our visit to Bicol was Mayan Volcano. We stayed in a hotel Casablanca suites in Legaspi that overlooked Mount Mayan and Lignon Hill. We captured great views from Lignon Hill and had fun with the zip line. I would strongly recommend a visual to Daraga Cathedral as it is an awesome church and also has great views. We visited the Caswaga ruins and rounded out our visit with a trip up the Mountain on the road to Tobaco PH. It is not well marked so you will need to be observant. The windy road is several kilometers long but well worth the vistas of the shoreline and mountain though you will probably be in the clouds and not see the top.

Vera Falls

Reviewed By gizel01 - Luzon, Philippines

I was a bit hesitant to visit and include this place in my must-see destinations in Albay due to its far off location in Legazpi and the weather during this month. But having heard from the people in Legazpi that we should see this place, my friends are excited to check this out. If you are a backpacker, from Tabaco tricycle terminal, ride a trike going to Quinastillohan and tell the driver to drop you off at the junction going to Vera Falls. It's a 30 mins ride and then you will ride a habal-habal/motorcycle for about 30-45 mins. You will see the Mayon Volcano going here if it is a clear weather. The road is surprisingly paved and at the end of the straight road is like a dead end but the downstairs will take you to Vera falls. There is mini carinderia and a store for BBQ or some light snack and comfort rooms. Entrance fee is 10 pesos. Huts can range from 250-450 pesos. The water is cold and refreshing. There are deep parts near the falls and more shallow parts. It is really enchanting and I hope that the people will be able to preserve this piece of nature. I hate seeing this place being ruined due to garbage, some I've noticed behind the big rocks.

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.

Subic and Tikling Beach

Reviewed By sabi0james - Manila, Philippines

These are two separate islands. We first went to Tikling Island and was able to see a fisherman with his fresh catch of the day, enjoyed the caretakers' pet native pigs. Then our guide took us to Subic Beach ( the way he described it is that there are two Subic beaches, one more popular with tourists with stores and more cottages and the other one more private and secluded). I was lucky to visit both. Great beach for a dip and for relaxation (ice-cold beer in hand). Due to the red corals in the area that got mixed with the white sand, the beach gives a pinkish color to the delight of the islands' visitors.
