2. Snorkeling at Cagbalinad Island
I can’t swim to save my life so when our guide mentioned snorkelling as the next activity, I imagined myself, a poor “landlubber” staying on the boat as a loner while my swimmer friends explored the underwater like frisky dolphins. But that didn’t happen because they offered life vests and goggles for rent! I was able to safely float in the turquoise waters and be a few feet closer to the corals and other marine life. I’m still not seeing free diving in my immediate future though.
1. Cliff Diving at Langkipaw Cliff
This activity is for the fearless swimmers who are willing to take a plunge into the deep. Position yourself on the edge of the 17-23 ft. boulder and just jump. Inversely, trust that the dive will take you to greater heights in terms of experience.
These are only some of the numerous activities to do in Caramoan. There are also calmer family-oriented ones like camping and exploring Barangay Paniman and the other connected towns in the area.

Finally, it’s invaluable to have a local guide with you as they know their way around the islands and the cycle of the tides. The tour package we availed (https://caramoanpackage.com) came with basic accommodation, transportation around the islands, food, the activities mentioned, and the service of the all important tour guide.
