I decided to try something different and booked a flight to Virac departing early on a Monday morning, and returning from Legazpi on a Thursday morning (as Virac has no flights on Thursdays). This is for May 2016 by the way. I need ideas as to what to do during those few days.

Should we arrive in Virac and make our way straight to Caramoan, and on Wednesday some time head to Legazpi? Or should we stay in Virac/Catanduanes, do a day trip island hopping, and make our way to Legazpi on the Wednesday afternoon? Or any other ideas?

We visited Catanduanes with the intention of doing a day trip trip to Caramoan but enjoyed the Island so much we never made it! Its a fantastic Island and Virac is a lovely Town with its own sandy beach. In Virac we stayed at the Radkell Inn, small rooms but great rooftop restuarant.

We hired a motorbike and rode to Pururan Bay. Thoroughly recommended for a few days staying in native cottages overlooking the wonderful beach there.

I believe its possible to do a daytrip from Catanduanes to Caramoan:.

Then ferry runs from Virac Town to Tobacco where you can travel onwards to Legazpi..
