Marakay Marakay cliff jump was an island purely dedicated to a diving board. Our boat pulled up right next to the island, where cement stairs are built into the island. Normally with cliff jumping in the Philippines, it is a battle to get back up the cliffs and to avoid cutting yourself on the sharp rocks.
1 loft bed, 1 double bed, 1 sofa bed and 1 single mattress. 1 bathroom with bath tub and 1 bathroom at the rooftop. After our cave explorations and cliff jumping it was time for some beach chills. Cobrador Beach was beautiful, with crystal clear water and mountains in the distance.
These rooms feature a comfortable king-size bed and other well-appointed amenities, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Carlos organized our island hopping tour at the local price of 1500 pesos for the entire boat and a day of island-hopping at our leisure. We were only two people but if we had of brought ten people the price would remain the same. 1500 pesos was equivalent to $30 USD, which made it $15 each for an entire boat to two of us! These prices were as of 2018 so please adjust for inflation.
It was really more about enjoying the moment instead of trying to document yourself enjoying the moment. Bonbon Beach may have been the best spot, but I don’t have a lot of photos.
