While on the island of Boracay, Lawstude decided to pay a visit to the nearby Carabao Island in the Province of Romblon. On this and in the upcoming posts, I will share to you the experiences I had and the views I have taken starting with the boat tour around the Island of Boracay and ending with a similar one around Carabao Island.This is not an island-hopping adventure because the only stops we have made were to and from Bulabog Beach in Boracay to Inobahan Beach in Carabao Island. These photos were taken aboard our boat on a less-than-calm sea, so pardon me if some shots appear to be shaken.

More photos and stories of Carabao Island in my next post.
kamukha ni KIngKong yung last pic. =)
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Lawstude, it is always nice to wake-up and see your blog kasi parang I am traveling with you talaga. I love the beach pictures the most. The last pic is also funny.
ReplyDeleteI love the gateway arch, trip kong magpapicture dun sa may arch ng nakaupo sa tuktok... lol
ReplyDeleteNice looking islands
ReplyDeletelooking forward to see this island as this is the next destination for people who want a less-busy-boracay-like island.
ReplyDeletekeep it coming bro.
Amazing shape of the rock in that last shot!
ReplyDeleteCalirojan Beach looks most tempting as an escape destination for this snowy Toronto resident. Loving Monkey Head Island too!
ReplyDeleteI love the islands!
ReplyDeleteWOW, great photo's.
ReplyDeleteTake care and thanks for sharing your part of the world with us.
all shots are so lovely,you can't go wrong with Islands,especially The Philippines!
ReplyDeleteProudly Pinoy!
Thanks for stopping by!
Monkey Head Island looks tough to get up on. Unless there is a beach on the other side I assume you need a ladder.
ReplyDeleteHow idyllic! love these, thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteparang far far away island talaga :) (maybe it really is). Parang mabangis na gorilla yung monkey head island. will be waiting for more photos :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful part of the world you live in. Your photographs are incredible. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWith 7000+ islands, you will never run out of material. And what beautiful material you keep showing us.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photos of the litle islands. Hey, the gateway arch looked a little like the elephant trunk hill in Guilin, China. Cool.
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing a lot about Carabao island. At buti napuntahan nyo na pala sya. Looks like a promising place. Gusto ko yung mga rock formations na pinakita mo
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful island i would love to be there right now. Thanks for your visit and sharing your part of the world
ReplyDelete@ coldman - yup, pero wala naman daw monkey doon.
ReplyDelete@ vanessa - thanks. your comment just made my day. have a nice one too.
ReplyDelete@ bry - talaga? medyo mahirap yata gawin yun bro pero kung kayo mo bro sulong lang hehehe. salamat sa pagbisita.
ReplyDelete@ borneo falcon - indeed. thanks.
ReplyDelete@ the dong - thanks bro. there is an on-going plan to build an airport there. more on this on my next posts.
ReplyDelete@ indrani - thanks. and it is honed by nature.
ReplyDeleteCSI miami or NY??? hehehe:)
ReplyDelete@ rob - i would love to experience snow but i will not definitely replace the sun, the sand and the sea of my islands. thanks.
ReplyDelete@ larry d - me too. thanks for the visit.
ReplyDelete@ sara g - thanks and take care always too.
ReplyDelete@ fickleminded - you bet. but a plain platform and a calmer sea would definitely help me get a better shot lol.
ReplyDelete@ robert v. sobczak - too bad there is no beach on the other side. the "head" is a cliff'like structure there.
ReplyDelete@ kyliem - thanks and welcome to my blog too.
ReplyDelete@ allan barredo - pag maganda raw panahon, carabao island is just an hour away from boracay, kaso medyo maulan at malakas hangin ng pumunta kami so it took us about two hours to go there.
ReplyDelete@ denise - you are welcome and thanks too.
ReplyDelete@ ewok1993 - thanks. and i haven't even been to half of it.
ReplyDelete@ alicesg - thanks, some of these islands are inhabited but most are not. never been to china, the islands there must be fascinating too.
ReplyDelete@ ferdz - yup. medyo masama nga lang panahon so i was not able to explore the entire place. hopefully next time.
ReplyDelete@ lilli and nevada - thanks. just happy to share these.
ReplyDelete@ ailee920 - i love the original the most.
ReplyDeleteWonderful gateway arch. really beautiful place
ReplyDeletethe "other view of gateway arch" has a beautiful perspective. carabao island was featured in a travel show a couple of months ago and i've been curious about this place. sige, will look forward to your next posts on carabao island.
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures of a superb island!!!!
ReplyDeletenice, nakapag-carabao island kayo. i had that in my radar for quite some time but never got to fulfill yet.
ReplyDeleteganda, ah
ReplyDeletecan one actually stay there yun tipong overnight?
Beautiful, beautiful place and stunning pictures. Love the rocky gateway arch!
ReplyDeleteThe arch is beautiful. The beauty of your country is resplendent.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful marine shot and report.
ReplyDeleteGreat your World.
hahah:) well, i like CSI NY more... because i like the main actor there.... what was his name... but, all in all, i love all the CSI series....
ReplyDeleteLS: What a beautiful trip around the island, your visit to your part of the world is what this is all about. Thanks for sharing your world.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see so different part of the world compared to your own. You have warmth and sea and thousands of Islands there and we are waiting for snow, lots of snow to come. :D
ReplyDelete@ evlahos - the place is indeed beautiful. thanks for the visit.
ReplyDelete@ luna miranda - yup. luckily, i got both sides. you can see a resort hanging on cliffs on that other view.
ReplyDelete@ magiceye - thanks, glad you like them.
ReplyDelete@ lagal[og] - bale isang araw lang don bai oggie pero ok na rin kahit medyo masama panahon may mga nalibot pa rin naman.
ReplyDelete@ raft3r - yup. meron naman mga bahayan sa carabao island kaya pwede doon. yung sa mga smaller islands naman eh wala naman kasi accomodation kaya better kung sa mainland na lang ng boracay or carabao island mag-stay.
ReplyDelete@ mar - thanks. just happy to share these.
ReplyDelete@ sandycarlson - thanks. my country has really so many islands and each of them has something different to offer.
ReplyDelete@ luiz ramos - thanks. glad you like my part of the world.
ReplyDelete@ aiLee920 - that's great. i think you are referring to david carusso, not sure thou.
ReplyDelete@ fishing guy - with so many great entries, i just wanna do my part and show my country to all of you.
ReplyDelete@ krisuh - yeah i definitely agree. every corner of the world has something different to offer, glad you like my part of the world as much as i crave for snow. thanks.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are lawstude! I really do wish I lived on an island in the middle of the Pacific...aaaaahh!
ReplyDeletewow--hidden beauty of nature found just in the Philippines? Wow--God must choose this country, just to spend His ultimate creation --
ReplyDeleteJust amazing photos!

That's so beautiful and you did a great job with the photography.
ReplyDeleteGreat place and great shots !
ReplyDeleteAng ganda ng Gateway Arch! :) Sana makarating din ako sa Romblon at sa iba pang isla dito sa pinas. Goodluck sa akin. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, and great photos!
ReplyDeleteCould have sworn I saw Robinson Crusoe in one of the great photos. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCute naman ang mga island na ito attorney.. meron silang kamokhang hayop hehehe
ReplyDeleteNice photos.
this can be the next big thing in the visayas. airport will definitely boost its tourists traffic. excited na ako sa series na to.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos and I love the Monkey Island! Thanks so much for sharing your world!
ReplyDeleteI missed this when I was in Bora, yes, I have seen this island across Bora but missed getting there. I can only take shots far away, and when we had our island hopping in Bora, i just had to firmly hold my kids as the seas weren't that calm near the other islands.
ReplyDelete@ maryt/theteach - thanks. my islands are really something. just proud to live here.
ReplyDelete@ mys lyke meeh - Amen to that. I really just can't say enough how beautiful my country is.
ReplyDelete@ the good life in virginia - thanks. glad you like the arch. have a good week too.
ReplyDelete@ carver - thanks. the place is just scenic.
ReplyDelete@ shaker - thanks for the comment and the visit.
ReplyDelete@ mel - good luck talaga. masarap magbiyahe lalo na sa mga islands. basta ingat lang sa biyahe.
ReplyDelete@ wren - thanks. had fun taking these shots amidst the often rough sea and rains.
ReplyDelete@ mannanan - lol, guess he is hiding somewhere. thanks.
ReplyDelete@ nanaybelen - yeah. meron crocodile, monkey atbp lol.
ReplyDelete@ the dong - tama ka bro, malaki potential ng island na to in terms of tourism.
ReplyDelete@ sylvia k - you are very much welcome and thanks too.
ReplyDelete@ sheng - that is true, the impending typhoon that time did not help me either. it would be nice to go back there in summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. Thanks also for sharing your archipel with us. I see many islands in the Philippines when I look at Google Earth. I have never been there,but my father often came in Manilla, when he was travelling on his ship to China and Japan. You have a beautiful country, that's certain!
ReplyDeleteNice Island it's beautiful.Great picture I love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and also Thanks for visiting my world.
Calm sea or not, it's wonderful. It doesn't look THAT rough, anyway. And the color of the water is perfect in any weather.
ReplyDeleteWow ! I would love to go there too, there are so many beautiful places in the world !
ReplyDeleteL, this is a beautiful tour, the photos came out great. I love the monkey head the best!
ReplyDeleteoohhh! wow! simply ahhhmaazinng! ganda diyan kuya!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog. Your pictures are wonderful. Monkey head island is so cool. We have a rock outcropping in the Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore in Lake Superior (Michigan, USA) that looks like the head of a Native American. They always joke on the boat tour that you can tell how deep the water is because he's in it up to his neck.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog. You mentioned you had never heard of "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer". I'm not really surprised as it's a novelty song and extremely irreverent. If you really want to hear it, it's on YouTube.
Packing my bags...what a paradise!
ReplyDeleteSandi
What a beautiful country you live in! So lush...
ReplyDeleteSome place for vacation!I love islands! That's why I live in one!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a paradise waiting to be explored on many levels. Thanks for showing us a glimpse of your world. I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGoodness 95 comments, wow, and deservedly so, great photos, Monkey Head Island is very interesting, it does look like a Monkey head! Wonderful place to take a sea cruise.
ReplyDeleteWow! hope to visit that place soon!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Just amazing. A true tropical paradise!
ReplyDeleteWow... really looks like a Monkey... beautiful scenery... gorgeous islands...
ReplyDeleteWhen I see all this beauty I wonder why people decide to live near railway tracks...
I love your island paradise. Monkey's Head Rock, The Gateway Arch ... wow!!
ReplyDeletethe monkey head island reminds me of charlie :-)
