[Music]
place if you don't actually want to get in the water and do the surfing you can

pool jacuzzi area really nice hang out just relax take pictures come on out here to Maasen
Village and here's a look at General Luna at
[Music] night lunchtime pork belly Pancit some fried rice and chicken and a little bit of soup
all right so it's the next day and we're out here doing some island hopping this here is my
captain I've actually gone to the the general Luna tourism office and purchased a ticket for
2,000 pesos actually I haven't paid yet I'm going to give him directly the 2,000 pesos that
2,000 pesos was for a private boat to take me around to the three different Islands out here
that includes naked island gyan Island and daku if you wanted to save some money you could probably
do a group tour and pay maybe around 500 pesos per person that includes lunch and pickup from
your hotel naked islands always have the clear as water cuz there's no biological
breakdown of any debris yeah so naked island doesn't have any trees it's just a sand bar
basically so I was talking to the local guys they said the
best area to swim is on this side of the island facing north towards
Sur water is quite warm from here it's quite the way I like it wow this is really
amazing yeah so this is some of the best water I've seen anywhere in the
Philippines I saw it like this in suan Island also some places in Coran and
el nido but this is quite quite nice because it's a sand bar the water is just so perfect
and when you get out here they do have these see-through kayaks that you can
rent from naked island we get in the boat for about another 10 minutes and head over
to daku Island so I accidentally left my bag too close to the shore on naked
island thinking that it was high enough up there and I had my phone
and my other cameras in the bag and I came back and it was all getting wet
with water and so far it seems like one of my cameras is a little bit malfunctioning but we'll
see let's see what's around here
here let's go for a swim here on
daku walking around hanging out with the
locals but the big recommendation that I'd make is just watch your bags around the
waves
[Music]
look like there used to be some palm trees here but they got knocked down probably by a typhoon or
something it's quite amazing out here on daku definitely recommend coming out here
you won't be
disappointed think it's beer o clock Sam me got
light hello
ma'am One S Migel light please yes please now we get back in the boat and do another 10-minute boat
ride over to gam Island this one's a real doozy you can play some basketball in the sand as you'll
see look that swings
hello sir how are you you know that we have trans here how much
sir uh 40 the name of the island is guyam yeah yeah it's name in how you
say Gam oh okay
okay
aam hello sir hell oh they have the Dava or daku daku Burger D which
one's your favorite um sh secret secret Burger number 77 and what is this sir a
pipe no no this one and this is a stone like a gemstone we have also a meaning
Stone which one do you recommend for me if you like this okay I do this one
this one yes sir but this one is uh 2,800 oh 2,000 yeah oh oh oh my go I
give you discount if you want what's the best price I give you um8 yeah yeah this
one I got a new one a brass good all right here's
the secret Burger wonder what's in it I'm going to keep it a
secret
huh we're taking pictures okay can I photo bomb yeah
okay from
down and here we are at map ponco try and say that 10 times it's actually
a beach over that way is towards clap 9 but it's quite far to get
here you have to go Inland a bit can't there's no Coastal Road [ __ ] ponco
Beach
[Music] [Music]
Muno is basically a tidal Lagoon it's like a tide pool but it's deep enough to where you
can swim in it with many other people it's really cool I do recommend coming out here
if you go a little further south there's Pacifico which is another place you may
want to consider checking out kind of like Cloud9 a popular surf destination now from
mapona what we're going to do is head over to the sugba Lagoon over on the other side of the
island this place is quite special this was probably my favorite place on the island go
on a boat and explore this Lagoon right here in shuro from map ponco it took about an hour
to get here so so it's pretty far really you're going to have to uh take that into
consideration the boat ride to actually get out
to sugba Lagoon took around 30 minutes and it's very Scenic out
[Music]
here
I ended up renting one of these kayaks for about 200 pesos they didn't even give me a
time limit so I'd imagine I could have had it longer than I did I only used it for around 45
minutes it's quite nice out
here it's a little Hut let's go check it out
[Music] all all right so I just did that tour there to the Lagoon definitely recommend that
don't skip that while you're here anyways that's going to conclude this episode of
Island Hopper TV from shural see you guys on the next one I'll put links
here to our Kon Palawan and Alo Palawan videos so watch each one of those next
