Local Tips
Public transport is mostly via tricycles. Cash is king, bring enough as ATMs are limited. Local markets are great for fresh seafood, especially in the mornings.
Cultural Etiquette
Dress modestly, especially when visiting churches or public markets. Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated; 5–10% in restaurants suffices. Always greet with a smile or a polite 'magandang araw' (good day).
Safety Warnings
Petty theft is rare but watch belongings in busy areas. Roads can be slippery and lack streetlights at night; avoid walking alone after dark on quiet roads. Be cautious of strong currents when swimming at beaches.
Hidden Gems
Visit the Bonlao mangrove forest for kayaking, Camili's scenic trails for a rural escape, and quiet, uncrowded coves for snorkeling or sunset-watching.
