Overview

Show

This shared joiner tour combines a land journey and a boat trip. After pickup in the General Luna service area, guests travel by van to Del Carmen and continue by boat into Sugba Lagoon. The itinerary is timed around low tide at Magpupungko Rock Pools, so Magpupungko may be visited before or after Sugba Lagoon. The day also includes a stop at Coconut Mountain View.

Itinerary

Show

Shared General Luna pickup — 7:00–8:00 AM

Be ready at the hotel or pickup landmark entered during booking. The vehicle collects multiple guests, so pickup is a window rather than an exact minute. Travel toward the first stop chosen around tides and operating conditions.

Transfer toward Del Carmen and Sugba Lagoon

Travel by shared van to the departure area, then board the local boat for the lagoon journey. Required port, entrance and environmental fees for the confirmed route are included.

Sugba Lagoon

Enjoy the lagoon scenery and swim only when local staff and the guide permit it. Guests may rent available kayaks, paddleboards or other equipment directly at the lagoon.

Magpupungko Rock Pools

Visit during the safest practical low-tide window. Walk over natural rock surfaces and enter pools only where guides permit. High tide, waves or slippery conditions may limit or prevent access.

Lunch stop

Eat at an available restaurant in Del Carmen, near Magpupungko or another practical location selected by the guide. Lunch and drinks are paid by the guest. Restaurant choice and timing depend on the route.

Maasin River

Visit the palm-lined river and join the included local boat experience when conditions allow. The route and duration depend on water level, weather and the shared schedule.

Coconut View Deck and Coconut Road

Stop at safe, authorised viewpoints for broad coconut-forest scenery. The guide may combine or shorten viewpoint stops according to weather, traffic and the shared schedule.

Flexible scenic bonus stop

Secret Beach or the operator's confirmed mountain or coconut viewpoint may be included when time, access and conditions permit.

Shared return to General Luna

Return to eligible General Luna drop-off points. Timing depends on the tide-led route, traffic, boat operations and the sequence of shared drop-offs.
