You may also want to take a refreshing freshwater dip on one of Samal’s hidden treasure by taking a leisurely hike to haguimit falls, a stone’s throw away from the beach house.

An ideal place for group or family camping.

A ten minute ride going to Maxima.

Free use of tables and changes. I think cottages also are free.
Reasonable price of food in the canteen, though they didn't sell ice.
Alot of grilling stations also.

 I also tried kneeboarding but I only finished half of the circuit since, bumibitaw na ko at hindi ko kaya ang lap turn.  Nawala sa isip ko na naka contact lens ako at wala akong goggles. I'm having a hard time makita ang course, so pag papaliko na bumibitaw na ko sa cable, but it is fun, di ko akalain na magagawa ko ang extreme activity na ito.

 After this extreme activity, mga 2 days yata sumakit ang katawan, so much sa shoulder...hehehe..but it's a rewarding experience, that we'll surely come back.
