Less Touristy Update | How to get to Polillo Island

Posted on Posted in Destinations, Islands, Luzon, Philippines

Ok, we don’t wanna appear like travel snobs here but we all wanna go somewhere other than the mainstream. Off the beaten track, they say. No things made for tourists, no 7-11s, just the place as it is created since then. Let’s say, Polillo Quezon.

About Polillo Island

Polillo, an island we know would get famous one day. Little by little the place starts to infiltrate our feed so why not see it before overpricing catch up with you?

Polillo is part of the Quezon province in Philippines. Some of Polillo’s part has made its name to tourism industry especially the Balesin. The whole part of Polillo is considered as off the beaten track because going there is definitely a long travel and not for the chickens.

Burger Island

Polillo spells out island hopping. So the first island we had is the Binumbunan Island or Burger Island. (Yum!)

It is called snake Island because it really has lots of snakes.

This is our campsite. It may look scary but really, it is scary haha. The caretaker said it was built during the Japanese regime in Philippines. This is the only house in the island, or maybe within my stretch of view.

We are supposed to have our tents but then the good weather turned bad and so we opted to sleep inside the house. *Tents are included in the tour package.

Puting Bato

The ff morning we went caving to Puting bato where it is said to house a new specie of tarantula as featured in Inquirer.

We had our last island hopping around Anilon. We had a good time there as it is a lovely kind of blue everywhere.

We had unlimited selfies with no one to photobomb us. Ok, that was a shallow thought. What is deep is EVERYthing you see connects you to nature. I’d like to think it raised my naturalistic intellegence by 1, or 0.5 haha.




So here’s a picture of us having a real good time in Polillo. I hope you enjoy the place as much as we did 🙂
