Yapak Beach (Puka Shell Beach)

The second largest beach on Boracay, this popular destination is also called Puka Shell Beach after the prevalent white seashells.

Reviewed By worldtrotter26 - Atlanta, United States

This is a nearby beach in Boracay. There are two ways to go here: first, you can join the island hopping tour and this is the first stop; second, you can hire a tricycle from white beach to this place. The water is green and the sand is fine. You can survey the place for 10 minutes. This is nice for swimming because it’s not too crowded, plus the green view is amazing! Just paradise!

White Island

Reviewed By sortav88 - Pagadian City, Philippines

The White Island is one of the go-to-place if you are in Camiguin. It is composed of two small white island and the water is cool and soothing. It is best to go there early in the morning as the crowd tends to grow fast. Bring small bills if you want to rent a beach umbrella (200PhP) or sample the raw (fresh) sea urchins being peddled around (3 for 100PhP) . There's no permanent structure on the island as they become completely submerged at high tide. Overall, our experience was pleasant and enjoyable. You must try it!

Pamulaklakin Forest Trail

Reviewed By MarianaV111 - New York City, United States

I wanted to do a jungle training and saw there were 2 possibilities in Subic: JEST or Pamulaklakin. The first one sounded more commercial so I decided to go for the latter and what a incredible time I had. The Pamulaklakin trail is on Aeta land, an indigenous tribe that lives in the hills. I was by myself and decided to book an overnight stay as well. They provided the tent. My guide, MinMin, picked me up at the trailhead and we started hiking up. He is small (like most of the tribe, but incredibly fast and very knowledgeable. He is proficient in English and knows all the plants and animals. The Aeta are a tribe of @ 500 families. Their village has a school and MinMin works on the family farm. He taught me how to make fire, use a machete, make a trap etc. He also cooked me a meal and set up my tent Then ... we went to visit some of his family. Marilyn, who is the person I had phone contact with and with whom I confirmed my arrival, is incredible! Smart as a whip and very hospitable. Let's just say we ended up singing karaoke at her place later that evening. Incredibly warm people and I truly recommend this experience

Hidden Beach

Reviewed By oliveolc - Ontario, Canada

Go ahead, pack and fly to the Islands of the Philippines! Two ways to get to El Nido from Manila: A direct flight from Manila to El Nido or a flight from Manila to Puerto Princesa, once landed in Puerto Princesa, it is quite the drive to El Nido (private van about 5-6 hours). Once in El Nido there are various companies that offer island hopping tours. TripAdvisor or your hotel can help you find a good operator. The prices of the tour are widely standard… but wait, ask if there is an extra cost i.e. eco-fee, kayak, etc. Going to see the Hidden Beach was quite a journey. You take Tour C from one of the El Nido Hopping Tours (Tours ABCD). When the tour boat gets to the island and docks, you first have to swim or float in some deep water (to get to the hidden beach), then upon reaching the shallow water you can start walking in the most calm, clear and warm water you can ever imagine… keep walking (if you wish, start snorkeling) until you get to this most amazing and pristine beauty of the hidden beach of this island. Once in the hidden beach, step back, relax on the white sandy beach and crystal clear ocean water and enjoy the amazing nature until you hear the horn of your boat warning you that it is time to go and do more island hopping. Absolute BEAUTY! A MUST see and make a memory!

Dumaluan Beach

Reviewed By sydneysider48 - Sydney, Australia

Alona Beach is overdeveloped, touristy, busy and tacky. By contrast, Dumuluan Beach - a 10 minute tricycle ride away - is quite, unspoiled and beautiful, with lovely sand, gently shelving, and clean azure blue water. There are eating and drinking facilities along the beach as well as large resorts where day entry can be available depending on the occupancy levels.
