TRAVEL | Burias Islands & Alibijaban Beach (San Andres, Quezon)

Burias Islands & Alibijaban Beach (San Andres, Quezon)

For an upcoming trip to Burias Islands and Alibijiban Beach this June 17th, I am reposting a sample itinerary courtesy of Laboy Baboy Tours. I'm crossing my fingers that the sun would shine on these days and give us our much needed, last minute summer adventure.

My initial reaction when I saw the white sand island from afar was - unbelievable. Probably one of the best places I have ever laid my eyes on. The sun was high and the water was clear as turquoise green and blue. In the years to come, Burias Island will become one of my top destination recommendations.
