Cape Bolinao Escapade Pt. 2

Okay super sorry for the long wait! any how, here's the second part of our vacation. :)


Enchanted Cave

Patar, Bolinao Pangasinan



Yes, before the swimming stuff, we did a little adventure, a little snooping around. Good thing that the good people of Bolinao told us to visit this place.


How to go there? - Well from White Sand Beach (that's where we stayed) it's probably  3 kms. You'll have to travel Patar Road, then there'll be a sign so you won't get lost. For easy navigation see Website Directions


Transportation -  If you own a private vehicle, its much more easier for you, but if you're travelling light, make sure you have your service tricycle with you.


Price? - The time we went there it was 100php per person and if you wanted your vehicle to enter the premises you need to pay extra 20php. Just to make sure just have enough cash. =)


What to expect? - Well, just enjoy the under water cave, its clean and definitely safe. Of course, take a lot of pictures..


Contact Number/s: 09287839890 / 0939570990 (as per signage)


Ooh one more thing. If you plan to stay in this place, you may check-in and enjoy the stay. But I strongly suggest that you need to check out other resorts since they have the best deals. Though most of them are in the farthest part of Patar and very much NEARER to the beach!

On the way we go!

Up to the TOP

This is my 2nd time to go under a cave. I was surprised that going down is such a breeze! 

And DOWN we go..
The inside of the cave










The water is deep, cold and refreshing! It's summer so you will definitely enjoy the water. Oh, by the way its the water is mixture of fresh and salty water.








We were so lucky that we were able to enjoy the place for ourselves! The place if flooding with visitors when we came but after 30 mins, the place is ours for the TAKING! <evil laugh>


Ooh yeah! Did I mentioned the water is deep.. Probably its around 9 - 10 feet. So for those who can't swim.. NO NEED TO FEAR! You can still enjoy the water :) There are lifeguards around (2 precisely), then there's this long line of rope that would guide you around the cave (isn't it safe, ahuh!)

















This is SO FUN!
POSE!

Way UP and the ONLY Exit!

And, we're leaving.. sad =( people are starting to flock the cave again so we left. But we enjoyed the privacy though. 


After the cave shot.. We took a deep in the pool. Yeah, they have a pool.

Ahuh RELAX MODE


CHING!!!






I'm enjoying the falls. 


By the way, the water's not deep :)


Its only 4 feet high ahahaha (fooled yah, looks deep though!)

Cape Bolinao Escapade pt1

Me and my best friend had our little adventure last 13 - 15 April at Cape Bolinao, Pangasinan. Never planned so much about it but the place is very nice and relaxing. We have no signal for about 3 days!! We were using globe so in case you'll be there I suggest you'll bring your extra sim or phone preferably smart :)
Accommodation - This is where we stayed :) Got the place for 6k PHP 3 days 2 nights (what a great deal, eh?), private CR , small kitchen and its super private. The place is just a few steps from the beach, though the draw back here is that you need to bring your own food, there is 1 resto near our "kubo". One meal for 2 persons costs PHP100 - 300, but if you're on a tight budget and you are on a barkada or family vacation it is still best you'll bring enough food and water.
The beach is so crystal clear! I can see my feet under the water, gentle waves, white sand beach and a very nice sunset made our vacation extra special..
