| MAY 13 2016 (3days & 2 nights) |
Jomalig Island lies about 75 nautical miles (139 km) southeast of Polillo, a group of islands in the northeastern region of the Philippines. Jomalig island is one of the smallest and farthest island municipalities of the Quezon Province. The nearest jump off point to the island from Manila is in Real, which is 3 hours away by private van. From the port in Real to Jomalig, boat rides can take 5 to 6 hours long passing through Lamon Bay, a large body of water connecting the southern part of Quezon province to the Pacific Ocean. It’s even further than the exclusive members-only private island of Balesin.

| Canaway Island Activities for travelers include swimming, snorkeling, and rock climbing (bring your own gear). Camping is also possible but only for small groups since the space for pitching tents is limited |
Canaway Islets are a group of three small rock islands about an hour away from Sitio Moros in the main island of Jomalig. One of the islets has a patch of white beach with fine sand and shallow waters. It has an abundant population of small marine animals such as hermit crabs and sea snails. There’s also a deep hole in the middle of the islet, which locals believe were dug by treasure hunters.

"Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time."
It basically means that when we are in a natural setting we should leave no trace of human intervention. We should, by all means, take pictures for our memories of our adventures. We should not leave anything behind such as trash, beer cans, paper, tobacco filters, plastic bags etc. We should be careful not to kill any of the wildlife in the area which includes animals, plants, and any living thing. We are stewards of this beautiful planet and we should not leave our imprint on any natural area.
