The Seven Wonders of Northern Samar

Northern, Samar

On Samar Island, you don’t need to go far to experience life at its wildest and fullest. Few places are blessed with the depth and breadth of having white sand beaches, rock formations, waterfalls, architectural landmarks, and voluminous flora and fauna. Samar Island has this covered for you—plus more. A selfcontained biodiversity wonder, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has cited it among the Eco-global 200 Regions. Backpackers and adventure travelers often head toward the northern part of the island—Calbayog and Catarman—for their rugged and craggy features, and where narrow bodies of water meander between landforms. With new discoveries here, the experience can be exhilarating and time often takes a temporary backseat. Now that PAL Express has just launched flights to these virginal spots, it’s time to pack up those bags and head here while the throng of tourists hasn’t arrived yet and local prices are still low.
