Maniwaya Island 2017
Last year my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at Fortune Island, Nasugbu Batangas. So this 2017 I want to celebrate it at Calaguas Island but unfortunately the weather was not good at Calaguas so our agency told us if we want to go to Maniwaya instead. It's ok for me because honestly my second option is Maniwaya also so I'm happy we will be able now to experience the beautiful island of Marinduque! 🙌
Yes still this is not a DIY trip because we've been too busy at our work and we don't have time to plan all those things for a week. Our agency is Good Weather Travel & Tours Thanks to kuya jhong(not real name) and kuya daniel/jun our 2 coordinators for being so patient(because the other group is err) and friendly at the same time.😊
We stayed at Wawie's beach resort . I recommend this resot to the backpackers who just want to rent a tent only or can bring your own tent. They also offer a room with air-conditioned or not.
Palad Sandbar and Ungab Rock formation are the tourist spots or the famous place here in Maniwaya, Marinduque. Unfortunately we didn't experience the sandbar because of the weather and it is high tide. 😔 Ungab Rock is good for cliff diving then, after that we go to Mongpong Island. It was like an abandoned island. No resorts, few people only and no houses. And so many urchins 😅
But after all we really enjoyed this getaway. You should also visit here as long as it is not crowded pa. Haha.
