TOP 10 MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE SPOTS IN CARABAO ISLAND, ROMBLON

No water buffaloes were maltreated and abused during this trip.It was, though, during the Spanish colonial period that this island was called “Carabao Island” because of the number of cattles, and of course, carabaos in the said place; today, however, it is locally called Hambil and for three days of staying there, I have not seen any single animal of that sort. Weird. Climate change? ROMBLON This blog post will not be about any animals but of giving you a dip of the, ah, uhm, *looking for a perfect adjective* “orgasmic aesthetic” Carabao Island through my version its top ten most instagrammable spots!

1. ANG COCONUT NA PA-FALLJust a few minutes away from the port of Carabao Island, this is the most famous coconut tree in the island. Maybe, if the tree can just talk, sasabihin nya: “gamit na gamit na po ako”. Haha!Riding their rented motorcycles, which is the only touring vehicle in the island, most of the tourists drop by this scenic tree almost every hour just to take a snap and do their own accounts of Instagram posts.Minsan, pa-isa-isa sila. Minsan may pa-couple. Minsan pa-group. You just have to be careful, you might fall. Okay sana if may sasalo.Kung wala, dapa lang at itago ang taba. May dadating na para sa ýo. Di mo kailangang sunduin because love is not rushed, it is delivered. Haha

2. MGA AHAS SA CATHEDRAL CAVE AT SA RELASYON This is what one of the Panda Boys (our tour guides inside the cave) said when we asked: “May ahas sa loob?” (Are there snakes inside?). “Walang ahas sa baba, Sir. Sa relasyon meron.”, he said. And we were like, bam. Ouch.More than the beauty of the cave, it was remarkable having two teenagers with us doing all the “hugots” or drawing strong emotions deep from within. Just look at the rawness of this unfiltered photo of the water inside the caves which rises up to two meters high during the high tide.

3. CLIFF JUMP SITE PARA SA PAGOD NAStill at the Cathedral Cave are the multi-level heights of the cliff-jump stations. Here, you may choose not to jump, walang pilitan po. But the water is perfect turquoise I swear you can’t help it; and the last time I have seen this water was when I went to Bohol in Panglao Island. Hands down. *slow clap*If you want BJ, just say so. Haha! The best BJ in the world, of course I’m kidding. All buko juice taste the same. ‘Wag tayo green-minded.

4. AND BALSA NA KAYA KANG ISALBAAnother interesting spot is this bamboo raft floating and tied from the mainland. You can get a perfect flatlay shot for Instagram with the help of the Panda boys!

The way I saw it, it looked so free, carefree, full of salt kisses and waves every day. But no. The raft is tied. Hirap makawala kapag nakatali ka na.

5. A RANDOM BEACH IN HAMBIL

On our way to the best shore line, there is this beach next to the national road that was just a splendor to me. So, I told our driver, Jun-jun, to have a quick stop. Kaya tingin-tingin sa paligid, baka nariyan si lovelife.But never forget to move forward to reach your goal.

6. TINY PINK ISLAND PARKWhen you get to Tan-agan, this is the first set of vibrant tents and floaties that will greet you. It’s not really called Tiny Pink Park though for branding purposes, I think it’s a good one.They set this for groups of international guests particularly the Chinese. And it’s also fine to take photos, just don’t take other people’s partners ha? Share tents, ‘wag kama.

7. SA DILAW NA DUYANTan-agan Beach has just the best crystal clear beach in the whole Isla de Carabao. We spent four hours of swimming. I had 30 minutes of sunbathing. Now, I look like Kokey with uneven skin tone. lolMaganda magduyan sa tabi nga dagat pero pag wala kang partner, di gagalaw ang duyan So, hanggang Instagram nalang tayo. Walang galaw galaw. Haha!

8. SEA-SWINGA swing at the shore? No problem. Still in Tan-agan beach. Question: Dalawa talaga dapat? Pag swing partner pa din? Dapat pa-couple? Walang lugar ang single sa Tan-agan? Problema mo, Tan-agan?Oo na. Tama na. Mag-swing ka hanggang mahilo ka at malunod sa pagmamahal niya.

9. THE WHEEL OF FORTUNEThis the wheel that will not take you places. Mag-isa kang uupo, mag-isa kang tatayo. Tapose, picture lang at post. End of story.

10. ALL THE BEACHES IN CARABAO ISLANDAll the beach areas in the island are just Instagram-ready.Just look for a partner to take good photos. Play with some tones and make your own preset. Gusto mo turuan kita gumawa ng preset? Gusto mo turuan kitang magmahal?Kapag walang partner, friends lang. Pwede na ýan. Malay mo madevelop ang picture.There you have it, my top ten most IG-ready spots in Carabao Island. ‘Di man ako nasa IG mo, ang importante, nandiyan ako sa puso mo. Okay, last na.I hope you get to have someone (your friends, wag OA) to take your photos with you.
