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!)
Hail to Polillo residents who does great effort in maintaining the rich wildlife of the place. Yes, Polillo is greatly known for its biodiversity.
Snake Island
After few selfies we headed to Islang Kukok or Snake Island.
It is called snake Island because it really has lots of snakes.
Tag someone who is a snake, lol.
Anilon Island
We passed by beautiful sceneries as we headed to our camp site in Anilon Island.
This is the view of Anilon Island where we stayed.
Say hi to seashells when you get down the pumpboat.
Perfect for relaxing coming from a looooong ride.
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.
Lose yourself for the most creative jumpshot with beautiful scenic view.
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 🙂
Polillo Itinerary
? From Magallanes in EDSA going to Ungos Real port, we rented a van. From 12am we arrived in the port at 4:30am. We side tripped for food

P210/pax
? From Anawan port to Bordeos, we took a jeepney that lasted for an hour. The road was muddy clay soil so it turned out to be an amusement ride because it really shook everyone inside.
