Caramoan Survivor Challenge

Another fast rising tourist spot in the region is the town of Caramoan. The beautiful beaches on the islands did not escape the scrutinous eye of the French Survivor Management, they picked this place to be the location of the famous French Survivor TV show series. Most Islets in Caramoan boast of virgin beach, powdery white sand and clear blue water. The place is not yet commercialized that there is no public resort or establishments yet. Most tourists just rent a boat at the Centro and do island hopping (Whole day boat rental is Php 1,200.00 -1,500.00). Boatmen are very hospitable and friendly, an attitude exemplifies by most Bicolanos. Do remember that there is no overnight accommodations on the islands, tourist either just camp on the beaches or go back to Centro where in you can find low price inns.


Of course I need to have a picture with the beach on the background





Brave souls decided to rock climb to the lagoon



This is my favorite picture of the beach





The famous Gota beach where the French Survivor TV show series was shot

Beautiful rock formations
since there are no resorts in the island we decided to camp out

gosh...
I love these islands!

where did you camp out,
in Matukad?

we brought our tents,
but since Typhoon Frank
hit Caramoan on the day
that we went island hopping,
it's too bad that the boatmen
had to prevent us from pitching
our tents...

the sea snakes apparently
all seek refuge on the beach
during stormy weather ",)

Hi Spanx!

It was nice meeting you all last sunday! You guys were simply great!

Err umm.. yes, I think we camped out at Matukad. Really nice beach! (Gota beach resort was still closed the time we went there. It was just after the French survisor season shooting) , thus, nothing else to do but to camp out...

Good thing I did not know about the sea snakes earlier or I might have freaked out. LOL!
