MY EXPERIENCE IN BALITUK BALER

I can’t remember when was the last time I went to Baler. So, when my friend invited me, I found myself lying in the bean bags while eating Cacao Ice Cream. Don’t miss it! You will love it!

Since I can’t swim (anyone relates to me?) I was sitting on the beach and enjoyed watching surfers play their board with those massive waves. By the way, they offer a Surfing lesson which costs 350PHP.

There is no WIFI in the area, and the signal is feeble. So, if you want to escape in the hustle and bustle of urban life and disconnect from social media, this is the perfect place for you. Very relaxing, and you will only hear the endless waves of the ocean. The atmosphere in Balituk makes you feel rejuvenated!

Just a reminder for those travelers planning to go to Balituk, make sure to bring food. There are no stores available in the resort. Besides Balituk, you will see North Shore; you can order meals there but expect prices are a little bit expensive, around 150PHP and up.

The way to Balituk is quite challenging. If you don’t have a car or service just like us, make sure to get the tricycle driver’s contact number who brought you to the resort.
