Stressed? Depressed? Bored? Or just itching for another crazy adventure?

It is that time of the year again, I know. The time to have a break, leave everything behind and experience nature and life that only the ocean can give. Nalusuan Island in Olango Reef, Cordova Mactan, Cebu is both a breather for the soul and perfect for a marine adventure.

1nalusuan-island-aerial-view

The island with its long sand bar is a sanctuary to all the sea creatures and to the nature lovers. You can literally reach at arm’s length the abundance of marine life. The fishes that you have only seen in your plates in their natural habitat. It feels like you are a part of the sea, the island and the life under water.

The adventure starts as soon as you ride the boat to the island, the challenging waves, the strong winds and the taste of the ocean. They offer a lot of fun things like snorkeling, kayaking, parasailing, scuba diving, and so much more!

The cottages are built right above the sea with breathtaking views. Imagine, waking up to the refreshing breeze of the sea while feeding the fish just right below the balcony.

SEAFOOD OVERLOAD

What is a trip to an island without the much craved island food. Some of these are crabs, barbecued squids, and the all-time favorite seafood pansit. Freshly caught from the sea, the fish and other seafood have this sweetness and sea flavor giving your stomach the escape from the processed foods in the city.

For thoe healthy junkies, there are also vegetable salads, vegetable dishes, fruits like mango with bagoong and the kitchen’s pride, the “fried potatoes glazed with sweet syrup”.

The first and only Museum of Naïve Art (MONA) in the Philippines is now open at Paulina Constancia Museum of Naïve Art in Carcar city and it looks like a haven for artists!

Naïve art, which is roughly defined as a visual art made by the artists who did not undergo formal education taken by professional artists, will leave you in awe. The styles are free and eccentric.

Paulina’s art brings us in touch with a seemingly distant and almost imaginary world in which people are still connected to nature and each other.

Paulina Constancia Museum of Naïve Art is located in Carcar City of southern Cebu and can be visited by group admission and appointment only.

How to get there?

Exact location: Bacsije, Ocaña, Carcar City, Cebu — 2 hours away from the city.

BY CAR: It’s best to bring your own car or motorbike going there. Just navigate with Waze and search for “Bacsije Road, Carcar City, Cebu”. From there, ask around where you can find the naive art. Parking space is available. Hailing a taxi/Grab is not possible, better rent a car instead.

BY COMMUTE: From the South Bus Terminal, ride any bus and tell the driver to drop you off at Codilla Store in Carcar, few meters after Ocana Central Elementary School. Bus fare is ₱50 (one-way) and travel time is about 2 hours. From there, ride a tricycle going to the naive farm.
