I remembered when I was about 7 or 8 yrs old my family went to a place called Balut Island. As a child it was just a plain island with waters surrounding the place. I never knew I set foot on a very remarkable and fantastic island like this! Will definitely go back! Would you mind sharing me the direction on how to go here? I'm going to Davao for vacation this September.Ceenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814993509716208431.post-55109039429518065242013-02-04T11:29:48.033+08:002013-02-04T11:29:48.033+08:00God its so nice place!God its so nice place!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814993509716208431.post-45507301723634685892012-10-21T04:15:44.516+08:002012-10-21T04:15:44.516+08:00Hi Scudds Harrison, this blog is for everybody.

I wanted to put it up on my personal blog (http://domesstique.blogspot.com/) and I am more than happy to link you/your site as the owner of the photos.

There is a white sand beach resort in Balut Island called Tuke Maklang Beach Resort, however, I do not have their contact number nor the boat rental thereat. The resort has open cottages and two rooms, each good for two persons. Pitching of tent at the beach is allowed and is free of charge. There is a minimal entrance fee of P10. The resort is owned by Saranggani Mayor Jerry Cawa, and is located at Sitio Maluco,Barangay Laker. Another option for overnight stay nearby is the JVL Inn in Barangay Mabila, also owned by Mayor Cawa. It is located near the port. Good luck to your trip!do battadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13347529232730219983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814993509716208431.post-20632044185515652092012-08-27T00:40:39.707+08:002012-08-27T00:40:39.707+08:00Do you know any resorts that we can stay overnight...Do you know any resorts that we can stay overnight in Balut island?

In fact, Sarangani became my jump-off to Balut Island. These two islands, in deed, need much exposure as these offer a tremendous potential for tourism: very scenic, historical, and untouched by commercialism. There are still much to be explored in the area which I have not had the occasion as of yet to feature in this blog, and it is my firm hope that the DOT will take a closer look on these beautiful islands of Balut and Sarangani and include them in the Philippine tourism map for the world to see.
