Calaguas Getaway
Travel Date: February 7-8, 2015
We decided to visit Calaguas in February, because there was
no rain and the weather forecast was good.
But we overlooked to check the gale warning which is how strong the
force of the wind during that week.
Our boat sailed the beautiful greenish river with scenic
banks going out to the vastness of Pacific Ocean. From afar before we reach the mouth of the
ocean, we can see already the towering raging waves. We were so frightened and unsure if our boat
can pass through. At that time, you will
think of withdrawing or continuing the trip.
But our boat managed to ride the huge waves for an hour.
The fear was gone the moment we came closer to Calaguas
Island. The nearby islands we passed by
were so beautiful and virgin. All
beaches boast a long white sand and lots of coconut trees. The moment our boat approached the beach of
Calaguas we were amazed with the fine white sand and the emptiness of the
island from commercialization. I love to
see it in its natural beauty! And here I
feel like I’m in paradise away from civilization.
We may not get the best comfort we will have in a
hotel, slept on a hard sleeping mat
inside an old tent, but waking up with a
view of aquamarine ocean with white sand beach and sound of waves are priceless. A life threatening adventure, but you can
laugh it out after.
