I first learned about Caramoan from fellow travelers we when we were in Calaguas. I was amazed just by looking at the pictures posted in their facebook, I immediately put it on my places to visit. I also found out that it has been a favorite filming site for international franchises of the famous reality TV show Survivor. Serbia, Israel, France,Bulgaria, Sweden and US are just some of the countries that filmed Survivor here. A year later we decided to do DIY Caramoan trip. So we did our research - set itinerary, booked bus/plane tickets, arranged transpo/accommodation, invited friends etc. Sounds like a perfect plan for a getaway right? Unfortunately the universe sometimes put you in a gripping situation and seizing something surreal could be grueling at times.
There are a lot of setback that happened during this trip. If I may enumerate, first we missed the boat in Guijalo port making us to spend an hour or so for the boat to arrived. Second we didn’t get the chance to visit most of the islands. Kinda sad but when we went there, due to the ongoing filming for Survivor we weren't allowed to exple some of the islands. Lastly I missed the plane going back to Manila – the reason I had to go back right away because I had deadlines to meet that time. The end result I had to book a flight again. I am still regretful up to now but at least I learned a lesson from this trip.
