A Journey to Bacolod

The sun was just beginning to rise as I found myself in Bacolod, a city that had long been on my list of places to explore. Known for its vibrant culture and warm-hearted locals, Bacolod was the perfect starting point for my adventure to Lakawon Island. As a seasoned traveler and surfer, I was eager to experience the serene beauty of this lesser-known gem in the Philippines.

The journey began with a warm welcome from our friendly driver, who greeted us at the hotel. We embarked on a 75-minute drive through the scenic landscapes of Bacolod, the air-conditioned comfort of the private vehicle making the journey all the more enjoyable. The lush greenery and rolling hills were a sight to behold, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement building as we neared our destination.

Discovering Lakawon Island

Upon arrival at Lakawon Island, I was immediately struck by the pristine white-sand beaches and the clear turquoise waters that stretched as far as the eye could see. The island’s relaxing atmosphere was a welcome change from the bustling beaches I had visited in the past. It was a place where time seemed to slow down, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the natural beauty that surrounded me.

Our seasoned tour guide led us on an enchanting tour of the island, sharing fascinating stories and insights about its history and culture. We marveled at the grandeur of the Temple of Lakawon Island, a place that seemed to hold a certain mystique and allure. As we explored further, we stumbled upon BongBong’s Lacson, a delightful spot filled with delicious treats and souvenirs to take home for loved ones.

Relaxation and Reflection

After the guided tour, we were given two hours of free time to relax and explore the island at our own pace. I took this opportunity to find a quiet spot on the beach, where I could reflect on the day’s adventures and soak in the sun’s warm rays. The gentle sound of the waves lapping against the shore was a soothing melody that lulled me into a state of pure bliss.

As the day drew to a close, our private vehicle whisked us back to the hotel, leaving me with cherished memories of a day well spent. The experience was a reminder of the simple joys that come with exploring new places and embracing the beauty of the natural world. Lakawon Island had captured my heart, and I knew it was a place I would return to again and again.

For those seeking a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I highly recommend this private tour to Lakawon Island. It’s an adventure that promises to leave you with memories that will stand the test of time.
