Patience is a virtue (Sohoton and Siargao 3 Islands tour) 10/21/2017

As early as 5:30 AM We left Nine cloudsPHP 4500 (1500/pax) 3 Islands plus Bucas grande and Sohoton

Bought fruits to the boulevard
PHP 54 Banana
PHP 126 Ripe Mango

Kaso upon arrival at the boulevard wala pang tindang isda kaya we had to wait nalang sa isang karinderya
We waited until 6:30 AM for the food

6:40 AM Start of island hop
It was a rough trip but as soon as we reached Sohoton unti unti ng kumalma ang tubig.

Sa likod ng mga mini bundok nakatago ng ganda ng sohoton. Halos nabusog ang paningin ko sa nag beberdihang bundok at kulay asul na tubig.
8:40 AM Arrived Sohoton
Paid PHP 1600 entrance for 3 pax
The part only accommodates 400 guests per day, I am not sure though kung paano nila na cocontrol yung dami ng guests.

Aura aura muna while waiting for the tour to start.

9:00 AM Start of tour proper

First activity was boating adventure

Waited for the small pumpboat to arrive then transferred to a paddle boat to see the jellies.

Only 1 person per paddle boat is allowed
Paddle boat, we spotted few jellies and some floating rubbish.
My boatman was kind enough to help me collect it.
Swam with few jellies. Sayang nga kasi off season na nila which is a good thing I guess kasi we know na hindi sila nag interfere with the regular migration of the jellies for the sake of tourism. 
After a short dip, we headed to our pump boat then proceed to the next activity which is Sohoton cave.

Sa totoo lang yung lugar is merong El nido feels, probably because of the rock formations and the color of the water.

Sohoton cave can be entered during low tide. They call it sohoton kasi need mong somohot.

No more signal inside but this is a good way to disconnect.

Ang ganda ng lugar, kahit yung photos ko hindi mabigyan ng hustisya yung lugar kaya you have to see it for yourself.

Inside Sohoton you'll find Hagukan cave - Parang humihilik yung cave from the inside.
By the way, need mong sumisid para makapasok sa cave or hold your breath for 8 seconds if non swimmer ka kasi the guides will help you dive.

After naming sumisid sisid we went to the next cave kaso walang name or baka hindi ko lang ma recall LOL.
This time no need to dive, the cave is accessible by foot pero kailangan mo ng buong loob bago ka pumasok kasi there's no turning back and you have to jump on a not to high cliff pero kapag nasa taas ka nakaka lula na cliff.

11:00 AM Done

Ate quick lunch
Left at 11:30 AM
Found baby turtles they said pinapalaki lang then irerelease sa open water - Well I hope that is true.

After lunch balik na kami sa Siargao then started our 3 Island tour.

Arrived at naked island at 1:00 PM
No entrance fee
Enjoyed kasi nakapag aura goals kami at solo namin yung island though may nakita kong konting basura probably walang kumukuha kasi unmanned siya. 

Then Daku island, my community pala siya.
May mga locals kaming nakita
Di ako masyadong enjoy kasi maalon
We paid PHP 100/boat
Last stop is Guyam island, ayun snorkel sa damo damo haha
Mababa siya at walang sightings

Entrance fee PHP 10/pax

4:00 PM Arrived at General Luna boulevard

Meryenda then left
PHP 37

PHP 500 Fare since we need to go to dapa to withdraw cash (ubos na kaban ng cash beshy)

PHP 50 For the rice

Observations:
Bring extra cash
There arw ATMs in Dapa
It's hard to find open restaurant from 9:00 PM onwards

Hindi ko na maisa isa yung mga expenses pero ayan na kayo nalang mag compute.
