Stop in Patapat Viaduct, trek to Kabigan Falls, swim in Maira-ira Blue Lagoon, go surfing, watch the picturesque sunset and experience the hospitality of its people.

actually ganito kasi yu ang NORTHRIDGE nag offfer sa amin ng 2k, MAY 8 ng umaga ang dting namin. den may 10 ng tanghali na siguro ang alis namin.
and ang solaris na 2500 same din ang time. ano po ba ang maganda. sayang din naman kasi ang 500 madami a ring magagawa sa 500 pesos pero kung ang pagiging comfortable and ang pag eenjoy naman namin ang nakasalalay eh ok lang na magbayad ako ng additional 500 pesos. Maaga pa lang kasi eh nagtatanong tanong na ako sa mga hotel at sa mga possible TriDrivers na magtotour sa amin. Sa mga nakapunta na ng pagudpud at nakasubok na doon sa mga hotel eh, sana matulungan niyo naman po ako.
GUYS patulong naman…. hindi kasi ako makapagdecide… saan ba maganda and wise mag stay. Sa NORTHRIDGE ba na nag ooffer ng 1000 per night or sa POLARIS na 1500 per night…. hindi ako makapagdecide.. gusto ko kasi comfortable. and sulit naman and wise. sana matulungan niyo naman ako. and may ma ooffer ba kayong mag totour sa amin sa pagudpud
