You don’t need a tour guide to enjoy summer!!
Vanishing locally wara wara literally it vanishes during high
tide and its seasonal during Amihan or the northeast monsoon. The wind from the
pacific blew making the waves bigger and the wave bring the sand from the deep
of the ocean to shallow waters their came the Vanishing islet. Now it’s an opportunity
for us to enjoy it before habagat southwest monsoon blew again. So enjoy it till it last!
WHAT TO PREPARE.
Since its an islet, absence of grocery store is expected. First you have to prepare things like food to eat because there
is no grocery or a sari-sari store in that place because it’s an islet. I
highly recommend you to bring some tap
water to wash at least your face because salt water after it dried is sticky.
And cloths for replacement of your swimming cloths a long sleeve dress is good
for you to reduce the effect of sun burn. Don’t forget to apply lotion.
How to get there.
If you are from
Legazpi City terminal look for the
passengers Van to Bacacay fare is 35 pesos only every van capacity is 12-14
passengers. You can option to get the number of the driver just in case go home
late and no more van available. If all you are in the same passenger van you
tell the driver to bring you in the Bacacay port usually van ends in the town
proper only. In the port there are many passengers boat. Available but often
times are fully book so I again recommend advancing renting or asking for the
availability of the boat. There is no regular trip to vanishing island so you
really need to rent. BTW before i forget passenger boat has passenger limit
capacity is 25-50 they big enough with comfy seats and individual life jackets.
For sea sickness those how are not use to it making your stomach full before
leaving your house is a good idea not to vomit or you can take medicine to
avoid it. Before leaving the port a regular routine inspection of the coast
guard is expected.
Now at the venue.
You don’t have to wait until peak of low tide because it takes
hours for full low tide. You can already swim in the shallow waters. Your group
can avail the floating cottage they have cottages with tables 500 per table 2-4
tables every cottage. On the peak of low tide local villager put some foldable
tent that’s also available for rental 300 pesos only.
Dos and Don’ts’
1. DON'T LITER ANY OF YOUR GARBAGE because it will automatically
go the sea and will add up to garbage of our oceans. Be responsible enough especially
the children you have with.
2. Do not leave your children swimming alone. Vanishing
island surrounding waters are deeper and sometimes strong wave can bring the
kids those parts of the islet.
ENJOY!!
