HOW TO GOT TO DAET, CAMARINES NORTE
There are many ways to go to Calaguas (our main destination for this trip). In our case we took the one that is recommended by my travel friends, Manila to Daet. From the capital city of the National Capital Region - Manila, you can go to Daet, Camarines Norte by taking a Philtranco bus from Cubao. The travel time takes around 8 hours.

malatap falls is really great. how i wish i can go there someday and take pictures :)
It truly is great. I just hope it will be cleaner the next time I'll visit the place. :D
Just wanted to share our experience during our Calaguas trip this Febuary 2015, this is after heavy rain in so waves are really rough and my heart is about to jump. Good thing our tour guide Noly is really helpful to us and comfort us during that time.
When we reach the island, it was majestic and pristine as it could be. We had 4 meals a day (heavy meals) and when we go back to Vinzons, Noly asked us to eat at their house (no additional charge) before we head out to Manila. It was an experience for a lifetime, not just because of the beautiful beach. But our tour guide is really helpful and hostpitable.
You can contact him Noly – 09179595985 / 09206611018 or http://www.calaguasislands.com/ (not affiliated in any way, just a happy traveler)
