Along with the temperature starting to rise, the strongerthe desire to set foot in a destination away from the stress of the city gets. With this, you may want to catch up on that well-deserved rest you’ve been dreaming of since the year began, or dream of embarking on a new adventure. Either way, a spectacular view is also one of the things on top of us Filipinos’ checklists when deciding which places to visit during the summer season.
Here are a few places you can check out before heading on to your next summer escapade.
1. Bolinao Falls, Pangasinan
Half an hour away from the town proper is a spectacular view hidden along the plains of Bolinao. The Bolinao Falls is one of the most popular tourist spots in Pangasinan because there’s a lot to do here, from taking a refreshing dip at the pool to cliff jumping. Bolinao Falls’ cool blue green waters are the perfect for scenery and wide shots – so strike your best pose mid-air before diving in!
2. Bantayan Island, Cebu
This white sand wonder can be found off the coast of northern Cebu. Considered as one of Cebu’s hidden gems, Bantayan Island slowly made its way to social media popularity due to many tourists being struck in awe of its white sand and crystal clear water. Nevertheless, this laidback hideaway is the perfect place to lazily watch the sun and get that relaxation you crave.
3. Chocolate Hills Adventure Park, Bohol
Just when you thought Bohol’s famous Chocolate Hills couldn’t get any better, the Chocolate Hills Adventure Park can give you that adrenaline rush you’ve been waiting for this summer season. A must try among tourists is its bicycle zipline that’s 150 feet up in the air, placed between two hills over half a kilometer apart from each other. While you’re up above, don’t forget to capture the breathtaking views!
After your zipline adventure, also check out the adventure park’s hiking trails and campsite that allow you to relax and simply take in the photogenic view from the hills.
4. Bonbon Beach and Sandbar, Romblon Island
Just around 5 kilometers away from downtown Romblon is this beautiful beach and sandbar that doesn’t need even a speck of post-processing because of the complementing shades of blue that the Bonbon Beach sky and waters offer. What’s good about this place is that it doesn’t have any commercialized amenities in the area yet, making it a beautiful backdrop for your lone islander-inspired shots. Remember, though, to head to the sandbar during low tide season to fully enjoy the shoreline.
With each picturesque destination, must also come a phone that will allow you to capture the beauty in each place without losing the magic in each moment. What better companion to take with you on your next summer adventure than the Galaxy A8 and A8+?
