And i treasure that moment as one of the most precious.
Why? Take a look at the photos so you will know.
Here's a peek of what to see and do in Suhoton:
On your way to Socorro, you will see these mushroom-shaped limestone islets which seems like guarding the white sand beaches behind.
And there are plenty of them littered around the island homing other white sand beaches submerged during high tide. They are like usherettes welcoming the tourists to chill in its hidden beaches.
Who would not be tempted to dive in this enticing crystal clear blue waters?
Suhoton Cove is not about islets and cool waters only, spelunking could also be a good activity. Suhoton Cove is not accessible during high tide. So aside from swimming and sunbathing in the white sands while waiting for the low tide, you could also try to discover the Bulitas Cave like what we did.
And have fun in fine white sand beaches around.
Now, the Suhoton Cove entrance is visible and passable. Time for the Suhoton Adventure.
This is what will greet you once inside the cove. Serene environment and clear lagoons. Take notice of the horseshoe once got there. That would be the marker for your exit.
Thought it was easy jumping at this almost 15 feet high cliff after exiting the steep Magkukuob Cave? Look at the traffic behind us. It took me 3 minutes to decide and the people behind us looks bored already. If not for the yelling and loud boo's, i prefer to back out. Wanna know what made me jump?.. It was the thought that if Miriam Quiambao did, then i surely have to.
Outside the Hagukan Cave, a cavern with only one way in and out. As hagukan literally translated as snore, locals said during high tide you would hear Hagukan Cave snore.
The tranquility of Suhoton. The peacefulness of this paradise would give you a moment like you were in heaven. (This photo was taken before. Im not committed anymore. Hehe)

One of among the many unspoilt beaches, where you could play hide and seek in the rock formations.
Suhoton which had landed in some travel shows like ABS-CBN's Trip na Trip, featured in GMA 7's Pitong Paglalakbay and Asian Treasure tv series is my number 1 loved site in Surigao. It's simply incomparable. A paradise.
And should i be back there again, i would not miss seeing this fabulous resort:
Do the mathematics. Here's what we spent:
Hotel (Balanghai Hotel) = 750 overnight @ group of 4 (airconditioned with own bathroom)
Fare (Surigao-Socorro) = 150 per pax (3-4 hours travel)
Pumpboat = 1,500 per day (look for Manong Pechong)
Tour guide = 150 per tour guide (we had 2)
Entrance fee = 100 per group
Meals = ranging from 250-300 good for 4 (with variety of fishes in the nearby market)

ang ganda ng island. yung base nya halos kinakain na ng hampas ng tubig. madami rin na ganyan sa hundred islands eh. iniisip ko tuloy pano kaya pag naubos na yung base.
and the most raging issue in that island is the mining scheme of some opportunists. in spite being declared as a protective area many, including the locals, are eyeing the island as a prospective mining site.
oh, nice waters!!! and those are cool casitas!!!
very nice... very inexpensive place to go too... Good condideration for a vacation.
@acey.. thank you. wait, let me google casitas. that's new to me.. hehe..

Casitas may refer to:
* Casitas Dam, dam on Coyote Creek near Ojai, California
* Lake Casitas, lake in Ventura County, California, formed by Casitas Dam
so i assume it is the water... whew! dumb me. hehe. still, thank you.
