There is always that one summer that changes you and this Calaguas Island tour I had with my 'BUTOGS' friends will always be very special.

I'm about to share my memorable summer last May of 2017 together with my friends at Calaguas Island. I hope you enjoy my article today.![IMG_8216.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPdXbTgyzT2ZmvZ7N9Qp9r9Kwup2R1UtK2eQESM6mxxuL/IMG_8216.JPG) ![videotogif_2018.04.20_18.33.38.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTmwRe91J4zSWjtGKK9QJs86Syoph56R4UkbMbfYafUmA/videotogif_2018.04.20_18.33.38.gif) https://steemitimages.com/DQmSGRzYnDe4PauPDpsFAyNrMDdZGk8uNnWuNA23QWoL4gn/1.png Before the summer of 2017 ends we decided to travel and make a memorable experience and we end up to one of our bucket lists, Calaguas Island. Calaguas is located at Vinzons, Province of Camarines Norte Philippines. We hired Clique Travel Services for our travel. All expense paid such as van rental(back and forth), tent accomodation, island hopping entrance fee, trekking entrance fee, calaguas fee and boat ride. It took us more or less than 10hrs to get there in Vinzons port from Quezon City. ![IMG_20170519_201358.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRaV22rb5aKYiRqPEq5cgmtaXcv8Uqwqb4rFwzjben9r2/IMG_20170519_201358.jpg) ![IMG_20170520_085208.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUxXm7tJeUJpZ39QPG7w15HnkLhNQYE9Vp2jx6bLyaQTH/IMG_20170520_085208.jpg) ![IMG_8059.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeiiYbTrTyfxbLMJiQXBzTGsoqNaMrY89nRYqZDSSxBqN/IMG_8059.JPG) https://steemitimages.com/DQmSGRzYnDe4PauPDpsFAyNrMDdZGk8uNnWuNA23QWoL4gn/1.png A merely 2 hour boat ride from the mainland to get there in Calaguas Island. Ofcourse we took the opportunity to take photos of ourselves and the beautiful views along the way. ![IMG_8077.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXqSYpCxeu98T3UzvqvZkxKc6Jp7AvPYA8rSrjmMgRoAW/IMG_8077.JPG) ![IMG_20170520_112001.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeVGpuHCeYpTb9NAZzedVoLYRaZmKPEbrsmieeR5ZSJvA/IMG_20170520_112001.jpg) ![IMG_20170520_113357.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTfqXpMD9XKToXSesGJqy8K3GRmvidLoEU34Gpau9B5Gj/IMG_20170520_113357.jpg) ![IMG_8112.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXxQzAPrgAev9mbYFX2k1p4WERfqcC6Q8HGckwqu7hkV5/IMG_8112.JPG) ![videotogif_2018.04.20_19.18.52.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdJnNtXTJFuxXx4ntMNdG4TpbDqopme1RWLfgGDQksMyf/videotogif_2018.04.20_19.18.52.gif) https://steemitimages.com/DQmSGRzYnDe4PauPDpsFAyNrMDdZGk8uNnWuNA23QWoL4gn/1.png As we settled our things to the cottage and tents and after eating our lunch we didn't waste much time and we started to explore the goodness of Calaguas beach. Calaguas Island is boasted of powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and unspoiled natural resources. https://steemitimages.com/DQmPcPD7HVu7fsGA6cZPNUuW6pbyQaziF1reBp7uHnpP19T/IMG_8367.JPG"The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul." --anonymous

So before our first day ends, our tour guide took us to other island of Calaguas. Here are some photos we had in the hill. ![IMG_20170520_161453.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPc8igZYpxD24EE5FxiwUf72jZJAV6PssdwXqfz3crpUF/IMG_20170520_161453.jpg) ![IMG_20170520_161310.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWH9WSjsCYXkig9svFzbAm8Hyba4wzGchEGF56jXnewBm/IMG_20170520_161310.jpg) ![IMG_20170520_160229.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYS4gGjvX3hEePVgZEVhM5NH3vPnbckXcWekB41RP1sGM/IMG_20170520_160229.jpg)

Around six in the morning I'm already awake and excited to make the most out of our stay in Calaguas. Another round of adventure and this time we are going on a short trek around the hill across our cottage. ![IMG_20170521_070406.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXmEFRgcvp3PY7xzAHBFDx5mbpnBRBShK4F5wXonMY9aU/IMG_20170521_070406.jpg) ![IMG_20170521_070551.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeYHoYby5kU8L7ZEU2g2QYxUoCyLpGUYHzEfUcNCCK9dA/IMG_20170521_070551.jpg) ![IMG_20170521_070503.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaHUzFqsQnBtsiaqLwMvuM8zeXrUGKrurxeCfAePPmbMm/IMG_20170521_070503.jpg) ![IMG_20170521_070104.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRYLY3jRMmjMuFNkgP5Ni9gSLvpD5vSqixx1xZ4aPHPi6/IMG_20170521_070104.jpg) ![IMG_20170521_071416.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb2RrbG5Y5f4nv4ozpfZoxC6TD17UCQgrcPrvab66SPis/IMG_20170521_071416.jpg) ![IMG_8868.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmatW6yNEN3A6VdjgSUKQyfbw26p9uqoYHG3RB7QfvYBZu/IMG_8868.JPG) Before I forget, I would like to introduce our new found friends Ram, Michael, Clarc, Jeth, Francis and Erica . Actually they are with us in the same van/travel agency. They also love to travel around the beautiful beaches in the Philippines. https://steemitimages.com/DQmSGRzYnDe4PauPDpsFAyNrMDdZGk8uNnWuNA23QWoL4gn/1.png One last hurray! One final wade in the crystal-clear water of the sea. One of the best beaches i have been to.

Around 12 in the afternoon we packed our things, took our meal and waited for the service boat going back to the mainland. Another 2 hours of boat ride. What a way to end our Calaguas Trip. 😊 ![IMG_20170521_113406.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaM74ouip1AbPDE6rg1V3apHLvGV7fBPjTqm8nF15E9Ga/IMG_20170521_113406.jpg) ![IMG_9068.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTa56qNse5DTHDAzfKkbZteMtscENYaTByY7NLVpeUbax/IMG_9068.JPG) ![IMG_9066.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc2V6STezEexGPo52PcddbNz81suptuzEti55zbUTpvYE/IMG_9066.JPG) ![IMG_20170521_112721.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmc6XgVjVdBny3vnMhNrPY8yu7TWAdcb7xJr2bxPouULNz/IMG_20170521_112721.jpg) ![videotogif_2018.04.21_00.56.51.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZxZtrpCFq4GUzsc9DCugVwzzjixQDv8tVjZAwDAV8FE3/videotogif_2018.04.21_00.56.51.gif) https://steemitimages.com/DQmSGRzYnDe4PauPDpsFAyNrMDdZGk8uNnWuNA23QWoL4gn/1.png Before I end my article, I would like to thank you for giving your time to read my piece.
