    From bora, you can't fly to busuanga. So you will probably go back to manila. From Manila, fly directly to el nido. Bypass Busuanga--it is not nice. El nido, by the way is 3nite max trip as you might get bored. Then take van to sabang beach on the way to puerto (which is nothing more than a destination for side trip to sabang), stay one night, and fly to manila/cebu from puerto.

    Skip honda bay--the beaches are bad--waste of time and money.

    Thank you Balustre , i've done a research about Palawan and Puerto Princessa (that Greek island with the rocky shores must be Milos...i come from a beautiful green island in Ionian sea , Corfu).

    dmtime , thank you i'll think about this itinerary , although i think it involves too many flights.

    Wow!you speak Greek?haha i did not expect it in this forum!:smile:

    So you cruised one of the most beautiful parts of Greece..then tell me now where to go in Negros haha.
    I just saw some photos from that market in Malatapay (?) and it's great!
    I'm not sure if i will find beautiful beaches in Negros , but i'm sure it is a unique island worth visiting.

    well i hope you like the floating sewer run off that you can smell in the water off boracay now... the over building has over loaded the primitive sewer system and the govt has put a 6mos building halt on all construction until this issue is addressed.. negros is a great place for all tastes but you have to travel a bit to see nice beaches... don't forget the giant white sand bar that bares itself in the water every day just off bais city to the north... you can take a boat there and spend the day on white sand... just don't stay late or you will float home on your wife... check out the caves in mabinay too, thats a different trip and a pretty drive up the mountain... and apo island is cool too and a short boat ride. but hard to beat the many college girls walking around dumaguete... you will forget the beaches soon enough... hang out in scooby's or lee plaza to meet some cuties for dinner dates. stay off the main water walkway unless you like pokpok girls (prostitutes). have fun!

    Yes, I agree that snorkeling at Apo Island, and relaxing a bit at the Apo Island resort beach is nice.

    Unfortunatelly what Bigkev describes happens to all places when the people try to make a lot of money and do not care about the environment. I have seen this happening to my countrie's islands as well.

    I've been searching the net but i cannot find a ferry that runs from Bohol to Camiguin..it doesn't seem to exit one.Do you have any idea?Is it easy to go from Bohol to Camiguin for a couple of days?

    Also for the end of my trip , I have two choices:
    1.Ferry from Bohol to Dumaguete and rent a car there to go around Negros and then bus to Cebu to fly back home.
    2.Ferry from Bohol to Cebu , rent a car there and drive southern , visit Moalboal and a waterfall (miss the name).Then car ferry to Negros , drive around and then drive back to Cebu to fly home.

    So rent a car in Cebu , or Dumaguete?Which seems better to you? How are the car hire prices?Can you suggest a car rental company?
    Thank you guys , you are very helpfull:smile:
