Sweet Escape. Spending time to relax but also thinking of the consequences that we're gonna face after having an overnight stay without any approval from our parents.

We went to Banatayan Island

First off, We met at the North Bus Terminal.

Make sure to ride a bus directed to Hagnaya Port in San Remigio. There are many buses that can send you to the port and one of those is Ceres Tours. It would take you 3-4 hours to reach the port. 

After the long land trip, the next step to get closer to the island paradise in the Philippines is to ride a bot. You can also choose which you would prefer.
This is the list of rides that you can choose from:

*Ferries (Island Express Shipping)
From Hagnaya to the port of Santa Fe and vice versa daily.
CHARGE: 60.00 pesos to 70.00 pesos
TRAVEL DURATION: 1 and a half hour (maximum)

*Fastcraft(Aznar Fastcraft)
From Hagnaya to the port of Santa Fe and vice versa daily.
CHARGE: 100.00 pesos
TRAVEL DURATION: 30 minutes (maximum)

*Ro-Ro Boats (Shuttle Ferry Service)
From Hagnaya to the port of Santa Fe

*Boats (Don Martin, Palacio Shipping Lines)
From the city to the port of Santa Fe
CHARGE: 150.00 pesos - 200.00 pesos
TRAVEL DURATION: 6 to 7 hours

*Boats (Lapu-lapu Shipping Lines)
From the city to the port of Santa Fe
CHARGE: 150.00 pesos - 200.00 pesos
TRAVEL DURATION: 6 to 7 hours

as you reach the port in Banatayan Island, there are many tricikad drivers that would offer you their service. the cost would depend on how far the location of your beach resort.


We decided to go to KOTA BEACH
Kota Beach was simple yet it didnt have to make so much effort to impress us because once you'll see the beach, you'll truly be amazed and it will capture you attention
