The attraction which offers nature experience by the beach, cruising the river or relaxing at the top of the mountain is just recently develop. It is currently managed by the local government so do not expect commercial resort type amenities (no pun intended). In fact there are no cottages and function halls or even a room to stay overnight. So your best option is to camp somewhere within close proximity as it is not allowed as of this writing to camp in the beach area overnight. Liquors and other alcoholic beverages are also not allowed. Yes, they want to preserve the place as wholesomy as possible for the sake of everyone.

So how to get there:

1. Take a Bus (SouthBus Terminal) to Aloguinsan
Fare: P70 (one way, usually take 2 hours)
2. Ask the bus attendant (or what we called, conductor) to drop you off at Aloguinsan where the Habal2x drivers to Brgy Kantabogon parks.
Habal2x (Single Motor) cost around P50, if you are white (Koreans are not exempted) they might charge you extra.
3. The Habal2x driver will drop you at the entrance of Hermits Cove.
Entrance fee: P100
