Random Beach Hopping at UNGAB Rock Formation | Mongpong Island Sta. Cruz Marinduque | Travel Vlog

Travel and adventure featuring Ungab rock formation Mongpong Island, Sta. Cruz Marinduque Philippines - Island paradise every budget traveler, backpacker, beach bummers must visit in Marinduque island province. As part of our random weekend adventure, we travelled from Catanuan Quezon by banca boat going to Mongpong Island in Marinduque - which took just about 30 minutes. the Ungab rock formation on Mongpong Island is definitely another site worth visiting. The cove located in Sitio Ungab boasts of an overarching rock formation that towers about 100 feet above the water. The Ungab Rock Formation is one of the most iconic natural landmarks of the province of Marinduque. Its most characteristic feature is the arch formed through years of erosion. Situated on the eastern coast of the island of Mongpong, the Ungab Rock Formation stands next to a beach and is surrounded by clear blue and turquois waters. Ungab beach is perfect for the more adventurous or those who wish to be away from the rapid-paced life in the city. This is usually part of Sta. Cruz Marinduque Island Hopping Full-Day Tour: Experience the natural attractions of Marinduque with this beach hopping tour in the town of Sta. Cruz. If you’re a nature and beach lover visiting the island province, then this Ungab natural rock formation is definitely a must-see. This stunning Ungab Rock Arch is a natural wonder - a colossal rock structure that juts out to sea and makes the perfect background for group photos and selfies. Wade in the crystal clear waters of the island afterward, or stroll along the white sand beach. From Mongpong, we make our way to the Palad Sand Bar before visiting Maniwaya Island. Maniwaya Island, a favorite beach destination of locals and visitors alike. The island is the ideal stop for those who want to see the vibrant marine ecosystem of this coastal town. Maniwaya (land area: 1,300 hectares; estimated population: 1,500) is the second of the three island villages of Sta. Cruz town when traveling from mainland Marinduque province. Like the other two—Polo and Mongpong (also spelled Mompong)—villagers rely mainly on farming and fishing.

GIRASOLES Farm Candelaria Quezon Philippines Sunflower Field | Side Trip Walking Tour Cinematic Vlog

Taking side trips on your backpacking adventures adds so much fun and additional memories to your travel. Usually, you will discover amazing places not just for buying "pasalubong" or take-home gifts but also you will discover amazing places going on your major destination or on your way back home. Side tripping, or a brief excursion off the main route of a travel itinerary, is a refreshing break on long hours of driving - just like a quick stop-over on a gas station - but of course with a bit of extra scenery.

On our way back to Manila from our Quezon-Marinduque day tour, we decided to visit Girasoles Sunflower Farm. Watch the video so you will have some ideas on what to expect there.

Girasoles Farm Candelaria (Angel’s Sunflower Field) - A Unique Sunflower Farm Blooms (Garden Center) in Sitio 3 Diversion Road Barangay Masin Sur Bypass Road, Candelaria, 4323 Quezon. Travel destination - perfect for sidetrip on your Quezon tour especially for Plantito and Plantita. 

Tourist destination: Girasole's Farm - Home Of Blooming Sunflower Fields And Ornamental Plants - Must-Visit Destination. In Italy, Girasoles means Sunflower. The farm is planted with thousands of sunflowers blooming all year round. The owners converted their one-hectare idle property into a flower farm to contribute to Candelaria’s Agritourism. Enjoy taking pictures in a SEA of FLOWERS (marigold, gomphrena, cosmos, etc) with hot air balloon and Ferris wheel, to name a few, as backdrop. There are also a lot of potted plants for sale. From culinary herbs such as mint, parsley, basil and herbs. For the Cactus enthusiast they have a different variety including bonsai. I saw a group of senior citizens happily picking their potted floral plants to take home. They have Petunia, Marigold, Cosmos, Zinnia, Vinca, Celosia Plumosa and of course, sun flowers. It’s mind-blowing! Super fantastic and amazing!
