Since I heard about Caramoan being favorite filming spot for Survivor Franchise, I was intrigued why they chose that place to shoot their country's survivor episode. The likes of Survivor Israel, Survivor France and Survivor USA among others. During one of our island hopping, our tour guide told us about the story of one Survivor Israel Castaway who married a Caramoan Local and lives in one of the islands. During this tour, we met new friend that became our travel buddy.

On our 2nd day, the weather is not cooperating. We are forced to buy raincoat to fight the strong winds, so now we are ready for island hopping |
|
our first stop, the statue of Our lady of Peace, we climbed 500 steps just to reach this grotto. But the view is spectacular, overlooking the whole Caramoan Island. But due to bad weather, its cloudy so we didn't get to see the whole island clearly. |
|
but we still managed to take this jumpshot despite of strong winds and slippery grass.. *-* |
|
Then we proceed to island hopping,, we had lunch in this floating nipa hut, but due to strong winds and pouring rain, our meals were soaked with water. But we still enjoyed the food and the ambiance. |

Our last stop is not part of the tour, we agreed to pay additional entrance fee to enter the Gota Beach Resort where the Survivor Crew is staying and where the Tribal Council is held. |
