Davao del Norte Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Samal Island Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Bali - Bali Beach Resort
I know many of us put Bali, Indonesia as one of our travel goals. But maybe as of now our budget doesn't allow us. Well, I have an option for you! Visit this resort situated at Brgy. Catagman, Samal Island. This is just 15-20 minutes away from the ferry boat wharf. Very Accessible. You can ride a tricycle or a motorcycle from the wharf at a fair cost or you can also get there by riding their exclusive boat. The Moment you get there you will already feel a taste of Bali, Indonesia. They have beautiful and very clean rooms and cottages. They also have dorm type rooms for group trips. You can enjoy both their Pool and beach with white sand and clear water. Their food is also good.
Make this Resort as one of your Summer escapade!! #mytripvlog #lovetravels

Love to the Ends of the Earth I am a Conqueror!
Never imagined in my life to try Scuba Diving. Just thinking the Deep Blue sea gives me goosebumps and imagining what's there underwater scares me. But i conquered and explored the wonder and the depth of one of the diving spots at Samal Island. Life and beauty underwater water is unexplainable. God's one masterpiece of creation.
Thanks to my beloved sister for inviting me to do this. I never regretted saying Yes even if it means jumping into the unknown.
We booked our scuba diving at Sta. Ana wharf, Davao City. When you get there you will have a lot of scuba diving shops to cater your desired adventure.

Love to the Ends of the Earth That beautiful sunset
#2023travelwish
There's definitely a reason why Davao is known as the "Crown Jewel of Mindanao". Not only with its urban attractions but also with exquisite island destinations to unravel. The stunning 1-day island hopping getaway is the famous Samal Island hopping. At the end of the tour heading back, a beautiful sunset rewarded us this majestic view. A day well spent with a wonderful memories to cherish.
2022 has been memorable so far. I wish to have a 2023 full of wonderful memories too.

Nothing fancy during this trip. Just a crystal clear water under a sweet sunlight plus fine smooth sand!
We had a great time at Alorro Cystal Beach Resort in Kaputian, Samal. A break before a Busy December happens is indeed pampering! Preparing your soul to end the year is indeed a must.
This is a 1-hour ride from Samal Wharf / Camp Holiday Resort & Spa Island Garden City of Samal!
Lez go!

Isla Reta Beach Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Best Escape Anyone Can Have! Beach!
Our favorite place! It is located in Talicud Island. Talicud Island is a smaller island next to Samal Island. It is near to our place Davao City. You can take the ferry boat from Santa Ana wharf and it will take 1 hour and 15 minutes to be exact. Just two trip in a day. Davao -Talicud is 10:30 am & 5:30. Talicud-Davao is 6:30 am & 3:30 pm. It is a quiet place and not crowded because of the trip schedule😅 so if you wanna enjoy the place to the fullest you must stay overnight😊 Their accomadation is not expensive compared to the other resort because it doesn’t have Aircon. Concrete room cost 900ph with its own bathroom. I guess it is the best room. Foods are also cheap which is good for 2-3 people.
Talicud Island's Gem: Isla Reta (Davao)
Address - Isla Reta Beach
Ambiance/Facilities - Restaurant, Tents, Rooms, Cottages
Highlights - Beautiful private beach where you can set up a tent for overnight stay. You can sleep and relax.

Cynthia Novee Jane Dumanig A paradise in the Northern Part of Davao City
An hour's boat ride away from the city brings to you an island of peaceful and natural ambiance. Bury your feet in sun-kissed sand and let your hands lap at the pristine waters. Catch a shade under a beautiful row of Talisay trees lined up near the shore and breathe in the salty sea breeze. Enjoying good food and great accommodations. This is where you should be.

Pearl Farm Beach Resort Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Pearly moments at Pearl Farm
Pearl Farm Beach Resort is surely a gem! Our stay was truly unforgettable and the food was amazing! When we got there, we were greeted by the infamous Parola Bar, with a welcome drink and hot hand towel. What a way to start our day!
What I love most about during our stay was the food 😄 dinner, breakfast and lunch were served, buffet style! I did eat more than swim hahaha!!!
I highly recommend Pearl Farm! and I can’t wait to go back!😍

Davao Philippines
Day 1
Arrive as early as possible, then go straight to your resort on Samal Island. Spend the rest of the day relaxing on the beach or exploring the island.
Day 2
Check out at noon, then stay as long as you like before taking a ferry back to the mainland. Check in at your hotel in Davao City.
Day 3
Hire a car for the whole day. If you start early enough, around 8 AM, then it’s possible to visit Malagos Garden Resort, the Philippine Eagle Center and Eden Nature Park all on the same day. If you want to do the “Sky rides” at Eden Nature Park, then it’s best you visit them in this order:
8-9AM – Drive to Malagos Garden Resort
9-10:30AM – Malagos Garden Resort
10:30-11:30AM – Philippine Eagle Center
11:30AM-12:30PM – Drive to Eden Nature Park
12:30PM-4PM – Eden Nature Park
4-5PM – Drive back to Davao City
5-7PM – Have dinner at Jack’s Ridge
The reason why I suggest doing it like this is because the SkyCycle, SkyCider, and SkySwing rides aren’t available until 1 PM on weekdays (Mon-Thurs). For that reason, it’s best to go to Malagos Garden Resort and the Philippine Eagle Center first. If you can make it to Eden Nature Park by around noon, then that would be perfect since the price of admission comes with lunch. If you go over the weekend (Fri-Sun), then it matters less in which order you visit these places since the aforementioned rides at Eden Nature Park are open from 8AM-12NN and 1-4PM.
You can stay as long as you want in this area before driving back to the city. I suggest having dinner at Jack’s Ridge that same night to make full use of the rental car.

Wishing Island Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Who don't love this view?
#2023travelwish
Wishing Island is small but beautiful. Pristine water surrounds it. So blue and mesmerising to see. In this island is a grotto of Virgin Mama Mary where you can utter your wishes and prayers. Wishing Island is a notable tourist destination encircled by gorgeous mangroves too and crystal-clear waters of turquoise. Because it is only visible at low tide and disappears during high tide, the locals gave it the nickname "Enchanted Island." Don't forget to take remembrance pictures in this location, which is decorated with a sea view.
Under the clear water
#2023travelwish
I can't get enough of taking pictures under the clear pristine water of Wishing Island in Samal. Beautiful creatures are abundant like the starfish. What catched my attention was the donation box I have spotted and got be intrigued of what such item is doing in the island. How did it get there? How long it has been there? I am the only have seen it? Such things happen, unexpected encounters of weird stuffs but still beautiful to cherish.
Have you encounter such one too?
Wishing Island
#2023travelwish
Wishing island is located in the beautiful Island Graden City of Samal, Davao. The island has no shore but it is still beautiful. It is surrounded by mangroves and the water was so blue and indulging. They said, the island can only be seen during low tide and disappears during high tide. Wishing Island is included in our Samal Island hopping tour.
I do wish my travel plans to South Korea and Japan will come true in 2023.
Hof Gorei Beach Resort Davao Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
A Beautiful place to get lost together ❤️
Hof Gorei Beach Resort is located on the southwest of Island Garden City of Samal in Davao. You can go there either by ferry or by car. They have there own ferry in Santa Ana Warf. We took it for free. What makes Hof Gorei unique is each guest is provided with their own butler that will assist you in all your need. We stayed there for 2 nights and 3 days to fully enjoy the place. What I love the most in this place is their dwarf coconut trees. It rare to see one specially growing in the sand. The sunset is also a must watch experience and oh don’t forget to try snorkeling ❤️
