                                        STUPEFYING GEM of BADOC ISLAND
Looking for an unspoiled beach, hassle free adventure and worth to travel for?
Well, let me take you to the place where in you can satisfy your itchy travelling sole.
Have you heard Badoc Island?
Badoc Island is Located in Ilocos Norte. It is the first town of Ilocos Norte from the south.
How to get there:
From Manila ride a bus about 8-10Hrs with Laoag signage. (Partas,Florida, Fariñas,Dominion Bus)
Just tell the conductor to drop you off going to Virgen Milagrosa in Badoc then ride on a tricycle  going to Pagsanahan where in you can hire boat going to The Island. Boat fee is cheaper in Pagsanahan which cost Php800.00/boat that can accommodate up to 5 people.


The Island is just 10-15 minutes away from the main Island that you have to brave the huge waves.
But after all those breath taking ride on a banca, finally when you see the island nearer makes you more excited.


Finally 🙂

Oh by the way.. do not forget to bring food and Especially water. There are vendors in the island but we all know that water in the island has a diamond price. So it is important to bring it with you in the island.


You can rent also a cottage for only Php300.00/5 hours.
