FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where is it located?

There are two options in reaching the island. The first is to travel by land from Metro Manila for around 9 to 10 hours. The other would be to fly to Naga airport and travel by land for another 2 hours.

 

For both options, you would have to take a boat trip either from the Vinzon’s seaport or the Paracale seaport. From there, it is a 2 to 3 hour boat ride to Calaguas Island.

What's the best time to visit?

January to August are good months to visit the Calaguas. In January to early March, the weather is still cool. From March to early June, the waters are much more calm but the weather can range from relatively to extremely hot. Since there is a long boat travel involved, weather conditions plays a vital role in the availability of the trips to island.

 

But regardless of the weather, the sea water remains cool and refreshing.
