Our Laki Beach Itinerary (2D1N)
It was midnight when we met in Crossing, and around 1 AM, we headed to Bataan. We were early because we had to fetch the other participants in the Pampanga area. We also went to the Public Market in Bataan and bought all our supplies. Had breakfast. Headed to the jump off. Our boatman contact let us borrow some of their utensils. Registered at the port and started sailing. Upon arrival, we picked the best spot by the beach and at the same time near the toilet and water source. The area was jam-packed with a lot of tourists.
Budget and Expenses
We chartered a 16-seater van to Bataan and a boat with 10-20 capacity.
