POTIPOT ISLAND DAY TOUR



Potipot Island is located in Candelaria, Zambales. It is 4-5 hours away from manila. We left our meeting place (Greenfield District, Mandaluyong) at 2am and arrived in Calendaria Miniport at 6am. We took a long ride by a private van, but you can take a Bus ride (Victory Liner) that will pass  Brgy Uacon, Candelaria Zambales. You must bring your own drinking water & food beacuse there's no available  store in the island.You can buy your foods during your stop over. Be reminded that during our arrival in Candelaria, almost all store are close at that time.

                                                                                                              

          


From the port, take a small passenger boat, good for 4-6 person to potipot island in just 15 minutes. Boat rental is P400 (estimated good for 4-6 pax). Entrance fee in the island is Php100 for day tour and Php300 for overnight.Tent rental is Php 300 which can accommodate for 2pax. Better yet bring your own tent to lessen your expense. But if you are in a group, you can rent a cottage with a 'kubo' for P1500. And there's available CR in the island.
                   
                      
               

                   
Potipot is small island with a fine, white sand and clear water and during 12-4pm the water  is so clear that you likely swim in a swimming pool. Potipot is a good place for a getaway because of its clean and peaceful surroundings.
I went here as a joiner.For just P1000, I enjoyed the tour with Byaherong Barat Group.
