4D3N Southern Mindanao (Philippines) : Samal - Surigao

by - November 25, 2017

Life was meant for good friends & great adventures! 😉


First on my October vacation was Southern Mindanao (Samal – Surigao) Philippines.

I planned this trip with my HS friends and this is our first travel together by plane. We really had a great time. 

We soaked up over the sun, we catch up all day, we laughed like there's no tomorrow, we sang at the top of our lungs and we drank all night like the good old days. Been so long since we saw each other and it feels so good to be able to get together and get to know what's going on with them since all of us are too busy with our adult lives. #Adulting101

Apparently, I did not take many photos because I had a great time catching up and I just wanted to appreciate the place with my own eyes.  I know that’s a little bit selfish, but it's better to be in a company of the people you love than stress out what's going to be the next photo on your Instagram account (wait save that quote! I'm going to copyright that! lol)

Anyway, here's the photos I took where we went. 

Davao Airport
Ferry view going to Samal
 
Our Hotel - Camp Holiday
Hagimit Falls


Maxima AquaFun

Monfort Bat Sanctuary



 

Island Hopping - Britania Group of Islands






Tinuy-an Falls



 

My most favorite place we went is in Tinuy-an Falls. It was my jaw-dropping moment. I cannot even believe my eyes when I saw a rainbow... R.A.I.N.B.O.W! 😍

I highly recommend this trip if you and your friends are planning to go out of town. 🙂
