Maniwaya Island

Maniwaya Island, Marinduque



From Buyabod Port in the town of Sta. Cruz, we traveled 30 minutes by boat to reach the shore of Maniwaya Island.



Residencia De Palo Maria


This is the most popular resort in the island. 
They were already fully booked when we got here.

So, we needed to find other resort where we can stay overnight and we found this.. 

Playa Amara White Beach Resort


Just few meters away from Residencia de Palo Maria, we get a very cheap nipa hut.


This was our room.

White sand beach



Shortcut going to the other side of the island


Floating Restaurant





They use clams as plates


We got these shell necklaces as a souvenir from the floating resto


Dessert with Halo-halo


Palad Sandbar

Sunset view


Panoramic view of Palad Sandbar


Before it gets dark, we left the sandbar and we passed by this side of the island.



It was almost dark when got back to the resort.
