Last February 19th, I went on a trip to Zambales to check out the famous Anawangin Cove, Nagsasa Cove and Capones Island. I went with Ed, Antonio and Teresa, Antonio’s wife.
Before I share the wonderful adventure I had with new found friends, let me just insert this quick post about our scary boat trip going to Nagsasa Cove 😆
Being reported as less crowded, I preferred to camp out at Nagsasa Cove and convinced my companions of the plan. I was glad they agreed to this and after spending some time exploring Anawangin Cove, we headed to Nagsasa Cove to camp for the night.
Nagsasa Cove is twice as far as Anawangin Cove, which is why a few prefer to go to this place. What caught me off guard was the boat trip going to this part of Zambales.
I decided to take a video of our boat ride to showcase the beautiful mountain ranges of Zambales. I wasn’t aware that what lies after the mountain ranges I was recording was Nagsasa Cove. And what transpired within that time was wickedly scary.
I was busy recording the mountain ranges and I failed to notice the commotion ongoing because of the sudden change of the waves in that area.
Like the rest of them, I was just relieved that we were able to make it to Nagsasa Cove in one piece. The weather was perfectly fine that day. But you should expect rough waves like these if you pass by this area going to and from Nagsasa Cove.

naglife jacket man kaha mo? wehehehe…
yep, naa man. mas worried lang ko for the cam than for my safety. bwahahaha. sayang if mawala ang photos. LOL
LOL, same here, whenever I am on a boat and the water is rough, I’m more worried with my camera than my own safety 🙂
i realized i need to buy a waterproof casing na! hehehe
Pinanood ko talaga yung video. Napatalon ako dun sa malakas na alon haha :)). Naka-vest ba kayo nun? I can imagine Anton na while he’s talking LOL. Glad safe pa rin yung trip niyo waaaah
hahaha. scary talaga sya mica! naka vest kami except for eds, i think. malaki din yung alon when we left but di kasing laki nung papunta kami. thankful pa rin kami sa safe trip despite that incident 🙂
sabi ko na nga ba takot na takot ka rin eh. kasi matindi kapit mo on both sides of the boat. ako lang talaga maingay.hahaha. at may subtitle pa talaga Doi? lol
napansin tuloy ako ni Mica. D; ako nga na sanay sa pagtawid sa dagat natakot eh. Si Ed lang talaga ang daredevil. sarap na sarap pa. D:
di no. wala lang mahawakan ang kamay ko kaya sa side ng boat ako naka hawak. lol. as for the subtitles, para sa global audience yan, if ever meron. hahaha. for sure, natakot din yun si ed kasi di nagsasalita sa harap nung mga time na yon eh. i bet he was also afraid mabasa cam nya in case mag capsize yung boat. hahaha
wow! we’re planning to go there this March, sana matuloy na…
yeah, ituloy nyo. maganda talaga doon 🙂 goodluck!
haha! up to date, this boatride remained to be the scariest! parang kakainin ng alon yung maliit na boat! hehe
sinabi mo pa! scary talaga sya. parang konting lakas lng ng alon, mag ca-capsize na yung boat.

waves going to and from calaguas are bigger and scarier!
really? hmmm. i’ve wanted to go to Calaguas too. I guess I really have to prepare for that trip! thanks for the tip atong! 😉
Gotta agree with his. These waves are nothing compared to the waves of a Calaguas boat ride. And much longer, too. The trip is aroind 1.5-2 hours one way.
But that hasn’t stopped me from returning to the island thrice in the past three years. I’ll return again this summer.
I haven’t been to Calaguas yet and I’ve heard that the waves there are wilder compared to those in Nagsasa. I guess I just have to buy a dry bag if I head to that side of the country 😆 Thanks for visiting Lex 😉

Haha. I can totally relate. It’s the longest 2 hours boat ride I experienced. Funny thing was, my friends were actually laughing and taking photos while the boat was frantically dancing on big waves. Kainis lang. ;p
hahaha. buti at napigilan mo sarili mo na wag sila itulak sa dagat. LOL. but yeah, scary talaga ang ride na yon 😀
