Last weekend, I went with Davao Bloggers in a Samal Island ultimate adventure “from islands to highlands” organized by Olan Emboscado of Olanology.com.
We visited the Monfort Bat Cave, Marex Villarica Beach Resort, Vanishing Island, Kaputian Beach Park, Haguimit Waterfalls and La Vida Orchard, We also conquerred Mount Puting Bato.

It was a rediscovery of the places I’ve been to in the Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS), and a pleasant revelation of the places I’ve never been to.
The more I come back to Samal, the more I want to stay. We had a lot of fun — and I’ve run out of adjectives to describe what we’ve experienced. To tell you guys the truth, it was a nature trip that rocked.
Over the next few days I shall be writing a chronicle of the places we visited. I hope one day, you also make the same discovery of IGACOS, and encourage others to continue and explore this place for an ultimate adventure.
I would like to thank Bioessence, Marex Beach Resort and La Vida Orchard Resort for sponsoring the event!
Cheers!
