Surigao Del Sur - Hidden Nature - Barobo & Britania Group of Islands

Surigao del Sur is a province of the Philippines located in the CARAGA region in Mindanao. Its capital is Tandag City and borders Surigao del Norte to the north, Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur to the west, and Davao Oriental to the south. Surigao del Sur is located at the eastern coast of Mindanao and faces the Philippine Sea.

GPS guide from Davao to Bislig City
 From Davao City we travel around 6 hours because we find other route to reach our destination. Because of climate tragedy, typhoon Pablo hit Compostela Valley and some part of Surigao. The 3-4 hours drive Davao-Surigao High Way was hit, so bridges and road is close for safety. As we drive along the hi-way (desidido) to go, we didnt expect other spots.

Barobo
As we rush search on web of what Barobo can offer, we find beach resorts along the hi-way to have some lunch. =)

As the resort offer us for Island Hopping, we didn't skip the chance of what this place can offer. We rented a motor banka cost 1,200 for us to tour there 3 island.
On our way to the small islands, amazed us ocean has no waves, its like we are on a big blue lake. With crystal clear water. wwooaahh.
