Unplanned Gateaway to Olanggo Island

That feeling when all of your friends are busy packing their things, planning their trip then there you are working kay sila nka.file ug leave unya ikaw WALA. That feeling pushed me and my friend to have an overnight stay in an island where none of us knew about the place, Olanggo Island which is a small island  located in Cebu, actually duol sya sa Mactan Island, atbang jd diay. :p

Travel: 

If you are from Cebu City, you can ride V-hire from SM to Gaisano Mactan(25pesos) then from Gaisano Mactan (multicab) to Soong (don't know the exact name of the place basta eskina padong portofino(10pesos)).  It is time for you to have a quick sea trip. hehehe! It will only take about 15-20 minutes going to Olanggo Island from Portofino Wharf. Fare ranges from 10-12 pesos. Pumpboats are available every 30 minutes interval.

 Once you got to Olanggo Wharf, you can take motorcycles and tell the driver where you want to go.  Kami since it was our first time and we don't even have any idea how the place looks like and where to go, we just rented a tricycle then let the driver take us in a place where we can stay just for a night. And it was a funny experience though.  Murag halos na libot namu ang usa ka.islahan jd but we didn't find a nice and relaxing place until we decided to call my ever dearest TL and ask for help. hahaha...Tagam!

Accommodation: 

We ended up staying in Isla Bonita Inn.  Aside from murag well-known sila, dghan pod sila ug mga rooms and duol ra sd xa sa beach. walking distance ra jd xa. infact naa ra diay sa ilang likod. For single bed, it cost 300 then for double (aircon na) it is 600 excluding breakfast. So you must bring foods with you and water/drinks.

 we stayed in an air-conditioned room ky super kapoy sa biyahe unya ang ending wala na.follow ang last-minute itinerary ky nkatulog man. hahaha
Note: it would be nice if naa jd itinerary pra dili sayang ang oras ug ma-enjoy jd ang place :)

Fun and Leisure:

You can do a lot of things in Olanggo and see the beauty of the island.  You can visit Shal-lala beach resort and be amazed with the white sand shore line. Entrance is for free and cottages are available for minimal fee.

If ganahan mu mag.suroy2x by sea, you can try Kayaking. For just 150, whole day nka mag.bugsay2x.But make sure kamao ka mu.bugsay kay kusog ang current if padong high tide.

If trip sad ninyo ang padako ug bagtak, bicycles are also available since gamay ra mn ang isla, pwede ra kaau mg bike2x padong sa Bird's Sanctuary. Sorry wlay pictures sa sanctuary ky na excite mi sa kadaghan sa bird(pinabali..hahaha)
Note: according sa care taker, season2x dw ang pg.visit sa mga birds didto and make sure low tide ing adto ninyo pra sure naa dghan birds. TT___TT

There's a lot more waiting for you in Olanggo Island.  Talima Water Park, The Fish Sanctuary, Floating Restaurant in Caoy and a lot more. Wala lang pics ky excited gihapon mi ana nga time. hahahah 

You gotta see it for yourself...hahaha

Daghan ug palpak but it was indeed FUN and I want to try it again.  I want to travel to a place that I don't have any idea what awaits me there.  hahaha...I am a certified aventurer! PAK (mugna-mugna lang ug new word ang show)^______^
