HOW TO GO TO ALIBIJABAN ISLAND

To reach Alibijaban Island, you need to go to the jump off point- San Andres Quezon, some 305km (6-7 hour travel by land) southeast of Manila.

The port of San Andres would be the starting point of the island hopping adventure. The most convenient means to reach San Andres Quezon is by private transport so you have more flexibility when it comes to stopovers and travel time. f you are planning on traveling alone or with 2-3 companions, commuting is way more practical and economical option.


Barney Auto Lines (contact numbers 09253227639/ 09207072414/ 09257474768) have scheduled trips from Cubao to San Andres at 3:00PM & 8:30PM daily. Ordinary buses with wifi will cost you Php417, airconditioned bus is at Php500. For students & senior citizens Php337. Superlines (02) 4143319 / (02)4143321 / 09225225192 (airconditioned buses at Php470 one way) have scheduled trips 4:30am, 2:30pm and 5:30pm daily.

Alternatively, bus companies like DLTB, Lucena Lines and Jac Liner have regular daily trips from Cubao to Lucena. Fare ranges from Php210 to Php250. There are vans (Php270) bound to San Andres at SM City Lucena but they follow no schedule and will only move until they are full.

Option 2: If you’re uncomfortable with the non-airconditioned bus going to Quezon, you may option to have a cutting trip. Just pick a bus of your choice that goes to Lucena Grand Terminal. There are a lot of buses coming from Edsa. At Lucena Grand Terminal. You can wait for buses that will take you to San Andres Quezon. (This option is not really recommended because it will take you hours of waiting at Lucena Grand Terminal before you can have a bus or a van that will take you to San Andres, Quezon)

For return trip starting in San Andres, theres a van that goes to Lucena at 3:00am, 4:00am and 6:00am schedule daily. You can reach them at +639105863023. On the other hand, Barney Auto Lines bound for Lucena leaves San Andres 9:00am for the first trip, then 10:00am and 1:00pm. The last trip leaves at 08:00PM but this is bound straight to Cubao. Superlines has departures at 3:00PM, 4:00PM, and 9:00PM (San Andres to Cubao).

From San Andres bus terminal, you can take those bicycles with side cars called “padyak” to reach pier at Php20 per ride, but in reality, it depends on how generous you are because you will surely get an answer, “Bahala na po kayo” (all up to you) when you ask how much is the fare.

Once you arrive at the port of San Andres, you need to register first, pay the environmental fee of Php4 per head and enlist your name and other pertinent details on the boat’s manifesto. If you have a car there is a spacious parking lot right in front of the port office (Thats Php30 per vehicle for the whole duration of the stay)

Welcome to the northeast beauty of Quezon Province!


Last weekend, I joined #TBboys (our yearly all-boys barkada) for an 2D1N trip to Real, Quezon. It was our first time in this side of Luzon Island. We've been to Pangasinan, La Union and Tagaytay before.

HOW TO GET TO REAL, QUEZON

Driving Manila to Real takes about 90+ kilometers (via Famy - Real - Infanta Road) for 3-4 hours. We used Waze app for directions straight to our accommodation in Poblacion, Real.


For who plans to commute by public transportation, there are daily trips to Infanta, Quezon that passes through Real offered by Raymond Bus from Legarda, Manila. Check available bus seats here!


We started our trip at 6am in Cainta and took the shorter route via Famy - Real - Infanta Road. Along this road, you may opt to stopover to Pililla Windmills in Rizal or one of the overlooking restaurants nearby.


For us, we traveled straight to Real and looked for a restaurant for stopover and have our brunch to continue our trip.



WHERE TO EAT IN REAL, QUEZON

There is a decent choice of places to dine in Real, mostly located along Famy - Real - Infanta Road. For us, we found J&D Eatery, about 20 km away from Real's proper town. They offer Pinoy all-time favorite breakfast, silogs, pares and lomi.

We took a rest, feasted with the food (that are actually good tasting) and recharged for an hour before we hit the road again.


We also brought our own food for our overnight stay at our booked accommodation, then planned to have our final lunch/dinner on our way home the next day.

WHERE TO STAY IN REAL, QUEZON (Tahanan ni MariAlan Resort)

Speaking of our accommodation, Basti (my long time friend and travel bud) booked us a 1-night stay at Tahanan ni MariAlan, one of the newly opened beachfront resorts along the coast of Real. Basti booked our room by contacting them through their Facebook page.


Our room was ideally good for 4 persons but can accommodate up to 6 guests. The room is airconditioned and has 2 double-size beds, in-room restroom with shower, a closet and a dining set (plates, utensils, cups and glasses).

Tahanan ni MariAlan boast their resort with their very own plunge pool with see-through glass. They currently have 3 units available for booking (10am check-in, 9am check out), each have a plunge pool.

The whole resort is surrounded with trees and only steps away from the beach.

OTHER RESORTS TO BOOK IN REAL, QUEZON

Here are other accommodation options located in and nearby Real Quezon:


Club Manila East Real

We arrived at noontime. The resort's staff was nice and easy to talk with. All our needs including use of fridge, kitchen and other amenities were provided throughout our stay. As mentioned above, we brought our own food (they also offer paluto at certain cost), alcoholic drinks were allowed. If you need something, you can ask their staff to buy you stuff for a tip. Overall, our stay at Tahanan ni MariAlan was smooth and satisfying.

There's a videoke for rent, a body massage offered and an island hopping to Baluti.



BALUTI ISLAND

Speaking of Baluti, this island (or a mini-peninsula) is about 20-30 minutes boat ride from our resort, depending on the level of waves. We planned our visit the following morning to spend at least an hour on the island.

Baluti Island

Real is known for having black sand and rocky beach and mostly docked with pump boats by the locals, Baluti on the other hand will give you a peaceful and serene vibe of Real. Our guide brought us to the secluded part of Baluti which undeveloped and not owned by any resorts.
