KALANGGAMAN ISLAND ADVENTUREPALOMPON, LEYTE

ATTENDANCE Kat (the host and the guide) Julie Mai-Mai

Hanna Sheena Idyll

KALANGGAMAN ISLAND – one of the best beaches in the Philippines swear! Police security 24/7, no drinking water, no electricity (but with solar charging station available), no restaurants but has grilling station though, no accommodation (except for some cottages), has clean public restrooms but run on saltwater only. I suggest we stay overnight since it is not advisable to sail on choppy seas beyond 3pm. Ultimate adventure, once in a lifetime experience!
