Pearl Picks. Did You Know?
  • The Chocolate Hills number over one thousand cone shaped mounds, formed from uplifted marine limestone over millennia, creating a rare and photogenic karst landscape.

  • The Philippine tarsier is one of the world’s smallest primates, and sanctuaries limit handling to minimise stress and support long term conservation.

  • Balicasag Island’s protected marine sanctuary supports thriving hard coral gardens and abundant reef fish, making guided snorkel visits both vivid and educational.

Travel Tips :
  • Carry small Philippine peso notes for tricycle fares, market purchases, and small vendors, as card acceptance is limited in rural stalls.

  • Greet locals politely, and always ask permission before photographing people or private property to show respect.

  • Wear lightweight breathable clothing, sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes for viewpoints and short hikes.

  • Use reef safe sunscreen, and rinse off before snorkeling to reduce impact on corals and marine life.

  • Bargain politely at markets, but accept posted prices at community stalls which often support families and artisans.
