Basul Island, Surigao City

We took a 30-minute bangka ride from our resort in Surigao City towards Basul Island. It's a really small island, one can circumnavigate in less than an hour. The island, where only one livable structure stands, is apparently owned by a certain doctor. Fees apply to all island-trippers.

basul is not owned by a doctor. the delani family from surigao owns the island. it's a inheritance from their elders.

@kimemmanuelle: I stand corrected. The 'doctor' thingie was what's relayed to us by our boatsmen, though. So, thanks!
