White Island - San Jose - Mindoro Occidental

WHITE (MANADI) ISLAND

Myrna had to go to San Jose to process some papers so I tagged along to explore the city while she was there.

We stayed at the 'White House Beach Resort' for three days, which was quite comfortable, and the proprietress was very helpful.

I took the opportunity while Myrna was otherwise engaged to make a brief visit to White Island.

The hotel proprietress arranged a boat - the 'Ambulong Bluewater' to take me there. The trip to the Island took about 17 minutes.

The other name for 'White Island' is 'Manadi Island' - Manadi is apparently a local word meaning 'Sudden Appearance' as it is said to have suddenly appeared many decades ago.

General publicity indicates that it is an ideal place for swimming, scuba diving, and fishing - but I did not test this. Turtle eggs are occasionally found buried in the sand.

There appears to be a coral reef at the other side of the island to which we landed.

There is no store or electricity supply available on the Island so all necessary food and drinking supplies must be taken with you.

It seems that there is a caretaker living on the Island, and the landing fee is P30. Bamboo hut rental, if available, is PhP150.00.

After looking at the island, and what is available at the present time, my personal preference would be to go well prepared for a day's snorkeling or fishing.
