Pinoy Adventures goes to the surfing capital of Mindanao

After many weeks and miles of travel to seek new adventures, Kapuso star Richard Gutierrez finds a new destination to explore ---the surfing capital of Mindanao. Welcome to SURIGAO DEL NORTE! 

 

Beyond the sand, surf and sea, Richard discovers a different kind of adventure in several islands of the province. His first stop, Hikdop Island. An hour away from the city center, the white sandy shores and limestone cliffs lead him, not to the depths of the sea, but to the bosoms of Buenavista Cave. Despite the threat of absolute darkness and venomous snakes, he spends hours hiking the cave with locals who know each step and rock that lead to the magnificent  “King’s Court” and “King’s Throne” rock formations.

 

Basul island, his next stop is a camping ground. Richard sets up his own tent, makes his own bed and enjoys the rare night-time solitude that only an off-the-beaten track destination like Basul can offer.

 

Richard discovers a different adventure in the floating village of Day-asan where houses on stilts line waterlogged streets. He also tries to navigate abandung, a small boat made with one whole block of  solid hardwood. He caps the trip with a trip to the lobster farm where he gets a sumptuous taste of Surigaonon flavor.

 

Join Richard Gutierrez as he brings you to a new adventure destination this coming Sunday on PINOY ADVENTURES, aired during GMA Sunday Grande, after “I-Bilib”.
