When you arrive at the entrance to the Mountain (just adjacent to the highway, before the bridge) you can either Hike (40 minutes to an Hour) or ride a Habal Habal, a motorcycle ride (15 to 30 minutes). They Charge 50 pesos one way per ride and they can take up to 2 passengers maximum.

'Masbate, Ticao, Burias, you are the dearest isles we know.. We're strong men and lovely women..' , and the song replays on my mind each and every time I think of our beloved Masbate.
Masbate Province is composed of three islands -- Masbate, Ticao, andBurias . And with that being said, it is surrounded by beautiful beach spots.
More than that, the province of Masbate has a whole lot more to offer -- not just to the tourists but also to its own Masbatenos.
Burias Island is one of the three major islands of Masbate province in the Philippines. The other two major islands are Ticao Island and Masbate Island. The Island has two municipalities, Claveria and San Pascual. -Wikipedia
Burias is truly blessed with beautiful islands. And one of these is the Animasola Island Rock Formation.
Animasola Island features breathtaking rock formations together with its crystal clear and sparkling waters. This picturesque gem will make you fall in love with nature and Masbate all over again.

Believe or not, sunset has a special meaning to each one of us.
Though some of us never really thought of this deeply, but sunset may mean romance for some, happiness for a few, or sadness for many.
Sunset in any part of the world is indeed equipped with an overwhelming indescribable feeling. But as they say, sunsets are all just the same.
BUT, sunset in a place you belong, partnered with people you really love, is so much different than any other sunset you will see.
Here are some of the beach sunset views captured by our fellow Masbatenos in different parts of Masbate. And for those outside the province, I hope this will make you want to go home and see these spectacular views with your love ones.
Indeed, there is no place like 'home'.

Healea Nature Park Lagoon in Monreal, Ticao is honestly my personal favorite among all the beaches I've visited in Masbate. The 'El Nido' feel of the crystal clear island is a must see for every one!
Even if there are baby sharks, you can still snorkel and kayak here.
