Smart Backpacker: Gumasa White Beach in Sarangani

December 30, 2012

I have only one day left for my Mindanao tour. My flight to Manila was scheduled December 31, 2012 at 7:35 am.

I have visited Cotabato City, Maguindanao, Lanao Del Norte, Zamboanga Sibugay, Zamboanga City, Pagadian, Sultan Kudarat, South Cotabato and my last stop was General Santos.

But there was still time, I decided to go to Sarangani.

From Koronadal (Marbel), South Cotabato, I boarded a van and went to General Santos (GenSan) City.

Travel time is approximately one hour and the fare is P65.00.

Reaching GenSan, I alighted at the Gaisano Mall, boarded a tricycle (P8.00) and proceeded to KCC for the van ride to Glan, Sarangani.

I boarded the van and proceeded to Glan, Sarangani.

The fare is P85.00 and from GenSan to Glan, the travel time is 1 hour and 10 minutes or 55 kilometers.

It was already 12 pm when I reached the Alegado Transport Station in Glan, Sarangani.

My first instinct was to take my lunch.Afterwards, I immediately looked for my ride to Gumasa White Beach.

I have two choices for my ride.

Tricycle

or

habal-habal??

I chose the habal-habal and hired it for P300.00 for my round trip to Gumasa Beach Resort.

Our destination are the following:
1. Isla Jardin
2. White Haven
3. Davak Ridge Resort

It took us 30 minutes before we reached our first destination.
