Don't travel in the wet season
Sablayan is a small town from where we planned to go to North Pandan Island however when we awoke the next day we were in the middle of torrential downpours which didn't stop for most of the day.

Anyway, we got to Wawa and were to make our way to the far side of the island and to the south to a place called Sablayan where we could charter a Banca (a local boat) to take us to Pandan Island off the coast. We negotiated with a guy to bring us there in his van for a good price, and the journey took about 3 hours along ...
