So last May of this year, one of my friend organized our summer getaway and everyone agreed for a camping type for a change. Everyone looked for perfect destination for our overnight camping and we found this eye catching Greek structure photo and we found out that this island lies in Nasugbu Batangas which is perfect, its just 3-4 travel time from Quezon City to Batangas. We read reviews about the place so yeah good reviews. We immediately plan for our trip.
I can't say where to ride a bus going to Wawa, Nasugbu, Batangas, where to get off then ride another vehicle, how much the bus fare and etc 'cause we use private car and I was sleeping for like 2 hour during our travel
We spend our first night at La Luz, Laiya, Batangas so we can leave early the next day to avoid cray heat, treacherous waves for one hour in the middle of the sea lol and look for perfect spot for our camping. Kuya Chris our bangkero fetch us at Resort 7AM and arrived 8AM. All i know Kuya Chris is one of known boatmen for Fortune Island Trip, I don't have his mobile number 'cause my friend is the one talking to him but you can get his contact to other blogs. I suggest you should get Kuya Chris as your bangkero, he's nice and you'll get extra care at the island because his nephew is one of the island caretaker.
As we get there, we pay P8,000 for the boat and P350 pesos each for the landing fee/permit for overnight I think you can negotiate? hahaha.
Yey! the view!!!
Ooopps! Sorry for the image dunno what happened
If you are planning to stay overnight you should bring your own tents, No Tents for Rents when you get there guys. There are still some decent structure to set up your tents. Kuyas (island caretakers) will help you to unload your things and look for your spot at the top of the beach.
This is our first camping spot then transferred to a big cottage hmm more like house and more comfortable.

One of must things to do is to cliff diving and take a picture at the edge of the cliff with these structures .
Oh hello there ruins
There is also the downside of Fortune Island, expect for lots of garbages and house fly so better bring transparent boxes for your food.
Do not forget to bring:
1. Lots of ice and gallons of water (i swear you'll need this asap)
2. Foods (that are not easily spoiled)
3. Trash bags (please be responsible)
4. Sunblock (the higher SPF is better)
5. Toiletries (lotsss of tissues, baby wipes and alcohol)
6. Emergency kit (just in case and saw lots of broken glass)
7. Liquor?
(hahaha just for fun and you need a little help to sleep too
but please don't throw anywhere the empty bottles)
Enjoy yours!
