Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort

Sharing my adventure trip on the beautiful island of Sumilon, home of the Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort. I was lucky to be one of the chosen bloggers who were included in this free tour of the island. Everything is free! Although I have been to the island last year, I am still excited and was looking forward for this trip. Whenever I appreciate a place, I never fail to sell them to my close friends. This time, I'm showing off what Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort offers to my friend Ed.

The travel to Sumilon takes 2 to 3 hours. We passed by the South Reclamation Project to avoid traffic in the downtown area.

Before taking lunch, took pictures of the group. Ruben of PinoyWorld was showing one of the staff how the camera works while we wait for our photos to be taken.

Then went trekking. Tried to go to the lighthouse but due to the time and the bad weather, we headed back and checked out their lagoon instead.

This experience was really unforgettable. I will never grow tired of going back to this place. I am looking forward to my next trip on this island and show off the island to my friends.
