About this spot
Dramatic limestone islets, powdery white-sand coves and clear water made Caramoan a filming location for several international editions of 'Survivor.' A day of island hopping usually covers Matukad (with its hidden lagoon reached by climbing sharp rocks), sandbar-like Lahos, and Sabitang Laya, plus snorkeling stops. It is remote, which keeps it uncrowded and raw. Plan for a full travel day each way.
