How to go
to Potipot Island? Simple. Ask your employer for an incentive travel so you can
go to Potipot Island.
However,
if you don’t want to trouble your boss about it, you could save money and go
solo in this island.
How to go to Potipot
Island?
From
outside Philippines, you must travel from your place to this country. Then,
from the airport, you need to go a bus station and catch a trip to Iba,
Zambales.
From Iba,
you need to ride another bus to go to Sta. Cruz. This is where you will find a
boat that can take you to the island. The travel may take around 10 minutes.
When you
go to Potipot Island as your incentive travel, you must only ride the bus.
Avoid hiring tricycles. The fare will be higher than the bus.
The fee
for riding a boat will be approximately PHP400. To make it cheaper, wait for
other people who are also traveling to Potipot Island.
Make sure
that you tell the boat owners that you’re not a tourist but a backpacker. This is
because they’ll charge you double if they think you’re a tourist traveling to
this island.
Camping over staying in a
resort
In order
to make your travel to Potipot Island a lot cheaper, you should consider
camping on the beach, instead of staying in a hotel or cottage. As long as you
have a tent with you, you can set it up under the shade of trees.
Should you bring food and
water?
Before you
go to Potipot Island, make sure that you’ve collected enough drinking water and
food while you stay here. There’s no food that you can buy in the island.
The drinking
water can be obtained through a pump. But there’s a dull taste that you might
not like. If you’re not used to it, then better bring bottles of drinking
water.
Little Boracay
Potipot
Island is known as the Little Boracay of the North. It’s a hidden gem with
pristine blue water. Unlike Boracay Island, Potipot has no commercial
establishments, which is great to avoid polluting the area. This is also one of
the reasons traveling there is a lot cheaper than going to Boracay.
Day tour package
If you
plan to go to Potipot Island with a guide, you can try purchasing a day tour
package, which may cost around PHP1,000 per person. This package is usually
offered by resort owners. The package will include the use of pool, tree house,
etc. It also includes entrance fee, life vest, boat fare, and insurance.
