Summer has finally arrived! Everyone should be getting ready for a more
fun and exciting summer vacation. During my short summer vacation in
Bantayan Island, I was invited by my friends to an island hopping to
Virgin Island.
Virgin Island - a small island which is a short boat ride from Bantayan Island where an untouched long white sands and crystal clear blue water awaits. The island is known for it's been flocked with tourist during the Holy week season. The island is inhabited therefore there are no electricity and water systems.

The is part of the island where people mostly gather is the part where
they can enjoy the long white sand and the cottages are placed. We
really did enjoy the beach experience although it's sort of populated
during our visit. The place is very relaxing.
After swimming, we tour around the island. On one side of the island where there are fewer people you can see we saw a trail with a signboard saying "Expect the Unexpected". Out of our curiosity, we follow the trail and then discover the place that I couldn't imagine. I felt the nature all around. Nothing you can hear but only thing song of the birds and the splash of ocean waves. At the end of the trail, we finally witness the unexpected. It's a quiet shoreline where no other people around. It feels like we own the beach for a moment.
Going to Virgin Island requires a negotiation from the boat owners.
Usually, they charge around P1000 to P2000 back and forth depends on the
size of the boat. Entrance fee the island is P500 for the first two
persons and P100 each for the succeeding persons.
