Tour Invitation – 09 08 12 Digyo Island Inopacan Leyte At P1100/Person

April 12, 2012

Target Date: September 8, 2012

Target Spot: Digyo Island, Quatro Islas, Inopacan, Leyte

Tour Invitation Objective: To share boat rent cost in going to Digyo Island

What About:

Digyo Island is part of the Quatro Islas.
This island is small and is not settled by locals. (So I read)
Very good beach, and also good coral formation. (So I read)

Blog Resources:

Invitation:

This is an open invitation for those who want to see and visit this island at Inopacan Leyte. With its good corals (so I read), this place is promising. By sharing boat rent expense, our trip would be more affordable! Please contact me if joining or interested. Or fill up the form found HERE.

To get here, buy plane ticket going to Tacloban City taking the first flight. You can also buy plane ticket going to Ormoc City. But in our case, we have plane tickets going to Tacloban City.

Update:
Let us meet at Inopacan pier in the morning of Sept 8.
If coming from Tacloban City, take the earliest trip of Duptours or Vanvans.
Priority to visit is Digyo Island. We can also visit other nearby islands.
We have to be back Inopacan pier/town early afternoon say 3pm, so that we can catch any ride back to Tacloban city. This means we have to leave the island at 2pm.
Since my plan is to stay at Baybay on Sep 7, I will be asking there the latest trip going back to Tacloban, so that we can have more time at the island just in case.

Upon reaching INOPACAN, we went down at the waiting shed in front of M Lhuiller. Then we rode the pot-pot (also known as pedicab) which brought us to the banca area. Actually you can walk for 5 mins.

hi gina, our original plan for meeting place is at the new bus terminal. dahil madaming bus at van doon. sa duptours van pwede rin tayo dun magmeet kung nandun nga yun van na sasakyan natin. i will be making updates this week. natawagan ko n rin si mang pidot pero mahal ang sinasabi nya boat rent. mukhang it is better to rent and deal on the spot na lang sa inopacan.
