May 14, 2018
Are you and your family or friends planning to visit Britania in San Agustin, Surigao del Sur? If yes, then get the best Britania island hopping group tour from a trusted and registered travel and tours agency.
There are a lot of travel and tours agencies in Butuan City. However, finding a reliable provider if you want to travel in Mindanao can be difficult. Many of those who offer tour packages aren't registered which can be an issue to some. Nonetheless, if it's recommended by one of your friends or family and that they've worked with the agency in the past, then you can also try one.
Luckily, while I was scouting for a group tour package on Facebook, I found Rowena Castrodes of Rowena's Travel and Tours offering a group tour. I don't know her personally and this isn't a sponsored post lol! We just decided to join the tour she offered because of its reasonable price of P650.00/pax.

What to Do in Britania, Surigao del Sur?
Britania, Surigao Del Sur travel guide was already arranged by the travel agency. There are three locations in the travel tour package which included the following:
All of those who joined the tour were beach lovers, thank God, that's why we decided to stay an hour longer during the island hopping. The agency that we found that offers Britania island hopping was supposed to end at 11AM to give us time to travel to Bao-Bao Falls. However, we decided to extend a little bit to get (more than) enough sand, sea, and salt.
Hagonoy Island
Our first stop was Hagonoy Island. A long stretch of white sand and pristine waters which is ideal for swimming. In the middle of Hagonoy island are coconut trees as shade after a quick dip or two, or even three. |
