Tablas, Romblon: Undiscovered Paradise

I did not expect that I will be having the time of my life in Tablas, Romblon.

I just wanted to visit and see Romblon. It was a one-day tour only. No expectations have been made nor any idea of the tourist spots in Romblon.

From Caticlan Port in Aklan, I boarded a pumpboat going to Romblon.

There are only 2 trips to Romblon from Boracay slated everyday. The first one leaves 8:15 am and the other one 8:45 am.

The fare going to Looc, Tablas, Romblon is P300 and the trip is 3 hours using the pumpboat.

There were so many foreigners going to Romblon that day.

 

Looc Port

After 3 hours, we reached the Looc Port and from the port to Odiongan (main and biggest town in Tablas, Romblon) the trip is 55 minutes (23 kilometers) using the tricycle. There are two routes going to Odiongan but I decided to take the longer one.

Other than going to Odiongan, my mind was set to visiting some of the tourist spots conveyed by my co-passengers while we were onboard the boat. According to them the tourist spots are: Tablas Fun Travel, Gishelle's Beach Resort, Aglicay Beach, and Paksi Beach.

First thing I did was to hire a habal-habal (motorcycle ride) to Odiongan. But it also involved the tour to the tourist spots in Tablas. 

I hired the tour/trip for P500.00.

First stop is in Looc, Tablas, Romblon was the -

The resort offers snorkeling, jet skiing, scuba diving, 4 x 4 ride, atv ride and so many other adventures.
