This is one of the coolest places I’ve ever been in our province. I admit I love to go places but asked myself also why go to far places when in fact we have such nice destinations close to our city like the now known Britania Islands located in the province of Surigao del Sur. It is a three-hour ride from my beloved hometown Butuan City. Of course, this will makes Caraga Region famous when precious white coral islands discovered facing the Pacific Ocean.
And when I saw the place for the first time, I can’t believe that we have a very, very awesome spot! These pictures simply show how amazing the place is. It is really breath-taking to see those small islands with white sands, because we did island hopping, and witnessed one island to another. The clear blue water was so tempting for anyone would like to go swimming and snorkelling. I could smell the sea breeze and hear the slashing waves hitting the shoreline while walking different islands. This makes Caraga Travel so full of fun and excitement.

Britania Islands Clusters Of 25 Islands And Islets
Britania Islands was composed of unspoiled 25 white coral islands and islets of sugary white sand and clusters of limestones hills. It will lured me and my friends as we take our journey using rented pump boat seeing different islands, mangroves, and rock formations. You can also do bird watching and caving if you wish because you can do a lot of things here enjoying yourself with nature.
I’m not into caving but this one…romantic place for lovers and would-be lovers.
One majestic shot of one coral island.
White sands were luscious white and powdery. It seems a real threat to Boracay.
On our way to different coral islands.
Two rock islands started pressing against me. But the scene turns out beautiful.
Throwing myself live and energetic against rocks and white sands.
I feel so lucky that once in my life I witnessed the beauty of God’s creation that I have never been. So rewarding because in the prime of my life I was able see the beauty of nature with the help of my friends of course. It is really a cool, serene place with such a nice view. Every island is unique. There is even a white island with nothing on it but white crystal like sand. And it is really amazing to be there realizing that it’s only a few hours from our city.
We bought fresh fishes and the local residents from there cooked for our lunch. We rented pump boats because it is the mode of transportation going from one island to another. By the way, I spent less than a thousand Philippine pesos for this wonderful, priceless experience.
We were planning to come back there soon.
See you Britania Islands!

Great pics, I was there in August 2011. Had a very nice trip in a pumpboat out to the islands. Stunning beaches and islands. There is construction going on there to add more accomidation for tourists. Good for about 3 nites and take day 2 trips out to the islands. We stayed at the big resort the first night and went to a smaller one the second. The big resort (sorry, dont remember the names.) was rather impersonal, the staff was just sitting around and I think thats where I got food poisioning cause its the last place I ate before I got sick. They didnt seem too interested in us, just the TV in the resteraunt. But at the smaller places the people were very friendly and gracious. I can recommend visiting the area if you are in this part of Mindanau.
