Worthy Long Ride

To see this lively and colorful resort, you have to book your ticket bound to either Tacloban or Calbayog. Although it is advised to take the Tacloban-bound plane because it’s only four hours ride away from HomomoH. Arriving there, your travel fatigue will be met with warm guests, lines of huts, and—here’s the best part—the Pacific Ocean! The blue pristine waters just beyond the fine white sands will recharge your spirit from the long ride.
