Kayaking the Bacuit Archipelago

11° 9.9′ N · 119° 23.7′ E · approximate

Calm, cliff-sheltered water makes Bacuit one of the great sea-kayak playgrounds: paddle from Corong-Corong to Seven Commandos, or across to Cadlao Lagoon, under your own steam.

Practical

Approx: plotted off Corong-Corong beach. Independent kayak times: Corong-Corong to Seven Commandos 20-30 minutes; to Cadlao Lagoon about one hour.
