My first encounter with the BARMM region is during our ZambaSulTa Tour. This is a joiner's tour.

After exploring Isabela, we went back to Zamboanga and road a night RORO to Sulu.

This is our last day and we only visited Sta. Cruz Island.
Unfortunately, my external hard drive got broken 😞😞😞 (before I even started this site) and I don't have much photos left especially from our ZamBaSulTa tour. All my photos got corrupted. I requested photos from our fellow travellers but as expected, they only have group photos and not solo pictures. Luckily, I have few photos uploaded on Facebook. Looks like I need to re-do the ZambaSulTa tour.. hahaha
I visited Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur during our SOX travel.
My SOX pictures are also affected by the bad sector on my external hard drive. The whole folder suddenly became empty. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I visited Marawi for my Lanao del Sur exploration. This is actually a daytour for Lanao Provinces. We visited Marawi first then head to Iligan for some falls. These are the tourist spots we visited in Marawi City:
Welcome Arc of Islamic City of Marawi
Ground Zero
Jameo Mosque
Bato Mosque
Marawi Peace Park
It took me 2 trips to finish the Region XIII or Caraga region.
✈️ Agusan del Norte, Agudan del Sur, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Sur
✈️ Siargao Island
Our entry and exit point for this tour is Butuan. We first visited Agusan del Sur's falls since I have a friend in Butuan who is willing to tour us around. We visited 2 falls, namely:
Bega Falls
Lower Tugonan Falls
We then travelled to Mangagoy to meet Kuya Cesar who will be our tour guide for Surigao del Sur. For our first day in Surigao del Sur, we visited the following:
Tinuy-an Falls
Enchanted River
Sibadan Fish Cage
I ♥️ Bislig Signage
Libuacan Cold Spring
For our second day in Surigao del Sur, we had an island hopping in the Britania Group of Islands. We joined another group so we can lessen the cost of the boat. We also visited the Baobao falls before going back to Butuan.
We got on an early trip to Surigao so we can catch the earliest boat trip to Dinagat Island. Our tour guide here is Kuya Percing. We booked 2 island hopping days with him. The first island hopping is the Basilisa tour where we visited the following:
Bitaog beach
Lake Bababu
Pagkawasan Garden Beach Resort
Paradise Island Biray Biray Island
We had the Libjo tour and the tour starts so early so we can visit the beautiful rock formation.
Hagakhak Rock Formations
Blue Lagoon (AO Beach Resort)
Jelmars Resort
RSG Munting Paraiso Beach Resort
Our last day in Dinagat Islands is a chill day. We visited PBMA Shrine and Islander's castle. We simply hail tricycles so we could visit these places. We were also able to explore the Surigao Port where the I ❤️Surigao signage can be seen. However, we already planned that we will have a separate trip to Siargao to tick the Surigao del Norte in the list.
This is the last day of the tour. We were able to visit Vin4 Blue Water Resort via commute.
