Overview
Experience a one-of-a-kind adventure on a secret beach in Catanduanes, famously used as a filming location for Survivor. This immersive 3-day experience invites you to step into a simple, authentic island lifestyle, guided by the ocean and local traditions.
Living directly on a secluded beach, you will learn traditional fishing techniques alongside an experienced local fisherman, harvest ingredients from the sea, and prepare your daily catch over a beachside barbecue. Between fishing sessions, enjoy kayaking, snorkeling, exploration and moments of pure relaxation, surrounded by untouched nature and the vast Pacific Ocean.
