Absolutely Not Bad for a Virgin Island!
We chose the Paracale route as it was cheaper compare to Vinzons which is the more popular route.
We also left the Island at noon so we are too early to wait for Air-con bus from Talobatib. Since we didn’t contact any bus line to fetch us; we decided to go to Daet and had the Superlines trip going to Cubao with Alabang drop off for a sure seat and an earlier departure.
Going to Calaguas can be tiring and difficult to some if you’ll travel by land but then if you are ok with long night trip like me then it’s not a problem. No need to worry as water and rest rooms are available in the island. Riding public boat can be an option for a cheaper fare but with no definite schedule.
There are also some travel organizers online that you can check if you prefer less hassle in organizing and preparing for the trip. They will take in charge of your tents, lights at night, food and etc but for sure for an extra cost.
Expect big waves and long boat ride but all worth the risk and wait.

wow ang mura pala pag nag DIY. great post! :)
tanong lang po maam/sir sa pabalik ng manila, yung mga bus po ba from daet to manila 24/7 or may oras lang? tapos paano po yung may cocontakin na bus para sunduin nalang from talobatib instead of pupunta pa ng daet?
and could i ask for contact numbers po ng boatman?
thank you so much! :)
@ JL - May oras lang po, better check yun sa mga bus lines po na nag o-offer ng byahe, you can call them para mag pasundo (Superlines or Philtranco):)
Wala na kami contact sa boatman, marami naman dun na you can ask directly... Highly recommended si Kuya Nelson, 0920-3179315, apparently may guest na siya nung tumawag kami since di namin siya ni contact in advance.
bakit ang mahal ng ticket nyo from Pasay to Talobatib... deluxe bus ba? we'll be visiting the island next week...
