Your DIY Travel Guide to Burias Island in Masbate
For more than two decades, I have been traveling and exploring the 82 provinces of the Philippines. Everywhere I go, I am reminded of how beautiful and diverse our country is. After visiting all 82 provinces, I realized there are still so many places I have yet to discover. I am constantly dreaming of new places to explore and experience, and I get opportunities to visit and explore more islands in this archipelago.
Recently, I had the opportunity to join the Domestic Tourism Invitational Program, an exploratory familiarization trip to the beautiful islands of Capiz and Masbate. Organized by the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) and the provincial tourism offices of Capiz and Masbate, this program aims to showcase the best of these two islands and their connectivity using transportation options like fast crafts and RORO (roll-on roll-off vessels).
We spent our first two nights in Roxas City before embarking on a nine-day journey to the Rodeo Capital of the Philippines – Masbate. It was an incredible experience filled with breathtaking views, fascinating culture, and delicious food.
I was fortunate enough to experience the beauty of Burias Island on a work trip to Masbate. It was one of the most unforgettable trips I’ve had in recent years, and I can see why it’s become a popular destination among tourists! The stunning white sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and laid-back island vibe made me feel like I was in paradise. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and I’m so glad I got to experience it. If you’re looking for a more off-the-beaten-path destination, then Burias Island in San Pascual, Masbate, should definitely be at the top of your list!
