Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
Unique Visits
Samar: Marabut Rock Formations and Beach
Onwards from Basey town in Samar, Tutubi proceeded to the next town of Marabut to catch sight of the rock formations and secluded white beach nearest to Tacloban City.
Photos of Marabut Beach and rock formations you normally see on Samar Tourism brochures (pictures taken with an umbrella over Tutubi's head to protect his camera):
Marabut rock formations that entices rock climbers to test their skills. the cove looks peaceful enough for kayaking a white beach with no people, it's expected since it's raining. People from Tacloban reportedly flock to this beach during summer. You can reach this place by walking about 50 meters from the main highway
There are no beach resorts seen by Tutubi when he went there, probably located on the other side of the cove. He only spent a few minutes to take pictures with an umbrella over his head since it's still raining. Other rock formations in Samar are in Biri town.
How to get to Marabut, Samar:
Commute: buses and jeepneys to Marabut are available from Tacloban City Bus Terminal. Driving directions: you can reach the town and the beach via around 33 km travel under an hour from Tacloban passing San Juanico Bridge and the Samar towns of Sta. Rita and Basey. Directional signs will guide you along the way.
dont mention the word kayaking. it calls me to go out and do it. LOL. it's one of my favorite watersport. i like the calmness of the water in that cove.
Wow, that place looks pretty neat. Shame about the burnt in sky in the second photo, but I guess it couldn't be helped.
