Rock Formation in Biri Island
Located at the edge of Northern Samar, Biri is home to the most spectacular rock formations in the country. 6 distinct gigantic rocks are carved through time due to the ferocious waves by the Pacific Ocean. Seeing them personally makes you realize Mother Nature is indeed a great architect. The presence of natural pools, mangrove forest, diving and surfing spots make Biri a favored destination for nature lovers, adventurers and photography enthusiasts. A place that will surely drain the life out of your camera’s battery, so better bring extras!
Lulugayan Falls in Calbiga, Samar
Dubbed as mini Niagara falls of Samar, you would not really want to miss Lulugayan Falls. It is also located in the same town where the biggest cave in the country is, in Calbiga, so might as well visit the falls before or after exploring the underworld.Read More
Langun-Gobingob Cave: Biggest cave in the Philippines

Inflatable Island is considered as the biggest inflatable park in Asia. In fact, this playground can fit 8 basketball courts combined! Seeing all these inflatables right before our eyes had all of us unleashed our kid at heart spirits. Certainly one of a must-go-to place not just for kids but for all ages to have fun. It is located in Olangapo City, just 2.5-hr drive from Manila.
