Calauit Island

Club Paradise is the closest resort to Calauit Island, a preservation project by former President Marcos. It takes around one hour by boat then visitors board an open caged truck which takes you to the reserve. Most of the animals are set free to roam around so visitors have the chance to get up close and interact with them.

The Calamian Deer can be found only in Calauit.

I want one of these! I wonder what my horse would do if she sees one.
















Look at this baby giraffe, ain't it a cutie pie?


Porky - pine (spiky rat) ... kinda gross when you think about it...

I found this tiny snake in my bag (Thank God it wasn't poisonous!)

What's that lurking in the water??... Crikey!

Some of the animals (the deer in particular) are under threat due to hunting by government rebels. I just wish our government or some activists make sure this island is protected and taken care of. It could make a good tourist attraction and animal reserve.
