MASBATE TOURIST SPOTS: Borobangcaso Islet and Rock Formation

Beautifully located between Bicol peninsula and the Visayas group of islands, the Province of Masbate has a lot to offer when in comes to tourism. As a province made up of islands; beaches, coves, waterfalls, ranches, sandbars, festivals, are just some of the things you shouldn't miss when traveling to Masbate.

One of the most memorable things we did during our Masbate Trip last April 2017 is the island hopping adventure in Ticao Island. This island hopping activity showcases Masbate's popular tourist spots and natural wonders including white sand beaches, islet and rock formation, sandbar and marine sanctuary, and a one-of-a-kind waterfall that empties directly to the blue sea.

During our island hopping adventure, we visited Borobangcaso Islet and Rock Formation. It is one of the stops of our island hopping adventure along with the beautiful beach cove of Halea Nature Park, Catandayagan Falls, and Buntod Reef Sandbar and Marine Sanctuary.

Borobangcaso Islet and Rock Formation is a great place to have a good swim, climb the rock formation and have an awesome view of the surroundings, enjoy basking in the sand, and take a lot of photos! Don't miss the imposing rock formation that seems like a stack of books. It is indeed an amazing sight to behold!

How to get there?

To get there, you should hire a motorized boat for island hopping in Ticao Island. Ours was organized by Masbate City Tourism Office. According to them, our boat costs 8,000 pesos which could fit 30-40 persons. The whole day of island hopping adventure includes Halea Nature Park, Borobangcaso Islet and Rock Formation, Catandayagan Falls, and Buntod Reef Sandbar and Marine Sanctuary.

This is just one of the many must-see natural wonders of Masbate that you may include in your itinerary when planning a Masbate Adventure. We truly enjoyed our island hopping adventure in Ticao Island! I hope to visit some more on our next visit. 'Til the next time!
