How to get to Punta Bulata as well as Danjugan Island, Negros Occidental, Philippines

There was a drunk guy speaking Mandarin seated in front of us while waiting at the Ceres liner South terminal as well as he was speaking to us, to my good friend Celine in particular. The guy didn’t look Chinese at all however he kept on uttering Mandarin phrases.

Apparently, the drunk guy believed Celine was Chinese as well as he must have been enamored by the feminine appeal next to me that he felt the requirement to impress. unfortunately for the drunk man, Celine was not Chinese as well as she did not comprehend a single word he had said. unfortunately for us, he kept on complying with us even into the bus.

But we said, “Nah, this drunkard will not spoil our day! We’re going to Punta Bulata!”

Cauayan, Negros Occidental
Punta Bulata is a secluded resort in Cauayan, Negros Occidental. The Municipality of Cauayan is four to five hours away from Bacolod City (depending on exactly how long the bus stays at the many stopovers along the way). We barely keep in mind exactly how this rather remote resort made it to our itinerary. What we clearly keep in mind was that we were looking for a white beach.

Cauayan as well as its neighboring city Sipalay are widely known for their stretch of white beaches. It was one of the very first things we discovered when we were looking for remarkable locations to travel to in Negros Occidental. We saw some pictures as well as we were sold. never mind that a overall of 8 hours of our lives would be spent in a bus going to as well as from Cauayan.

Despite hours of on the internet research, the only method to get to Cauayan we discovered was via Ceres Liner. as well as that’s precisely the reason we selected to stay at the Circle Inn, it was near the terminal of Ceres buses passing with Cauayan.

1. go to Ceres liner SOUTH Terminal

Take note that there are two Ceres liner terminals in Bacolod — Southbound as well as Northbound. go to the SOUTHBOUND terminal since Cauayan is, well, south of Bacolod. This was where we satisfied the drunk guy who kept on speaking Mandarin.

Bus to Cauayan
2. Take the Bus to Hinoba-an, Negros Occidental

Hinoba-an is at the southern tip of the Negros Island as well as buses bound to Hinoba-an will pass with Cauayan. When we called the Ceres liner office two days before, they told us that the very first trip was at 2:45 as well as there’s a bus leaving every 45 minutes. We wished to verify this however the drunk guy was distracting us.

Anyway, we shown up at the terminal at around 4:30 am as well as the bus left 30 minutes later. as well as assumption what, the drunk guy took the exact same bus.

By the way, buses taking this path are mainly non-airconditioned, which was totally fine with us since that meant bonding with the wind as well as the window.

Fare: around P155 per person

3. Ask the conductor to decrease you off at Barangay Cartagena going to Punta Bulata.

Apparently, Punta Bulata is truly well-known. The conductor understood the precise area as well as even the other passengers we had the enjoyment of sharing conversations with understood precisely exactly how to get there.

On the method to Cauayan
At this point, an inspector boarded the bus as well as inspected our tickets. He noticed the drunk guy who had been complying with us as well as asked him where he would be going. The drunkard provided him an response however the inspector said, “You’re in the wrong bus” or at least that’s what we believed he said. They were conversing in Hiligaynon. After a few minutes of persuasion, the drunk guy who had the hots for my good friend Celine was lastly out of our lives! The bus stopped as well as he alighted. Hurra!!!

4. enjoy the view.

It was a extremely long trip from Bacolod to Cauayan. However, it was extremely comfortable — the roads were paved as well as smooth, as well as the view was lovely. In this ride, you’ll discover fascinating bits about the province of Negros Occidental. You’ll begin counting the cities your bus passes through. You’ll be surprised exactly how many cities this province has! as well as mind you, these are not your normal polluted, traffic-stricken cities. They are extremely laid-back.

The Negros countryside
The trip will likewise provide you remarkable views of sugar cane fields, rivers as well as even historical structures like churches.

There will likewise be a number of stopovers. Food vendors will try to get your interest as well as persuade you to buy from them. Interestingly, they do not offer peanuts as well as C2 eco-friendly tea, hehe. Instead, they offer puto, hard-boiled egg as well as other regional munchies.You’ll notice these things if you’re like me or my good friend Celine who selected to stay awake the entire trip.

If you’re like my other good friend Ronnie, you’ll notice nothing ‘coz you’ll be asleep the whole damn time.

5. get off at Barangay Cartagena.

Alight at the corner of the road going to Punta Bulata.

You understand you’re at the right location when you see a lot of motorcycles parked along the highway as well as there’s a Punta Bulata indication at the corner. If you get confused, don’t hesitate to ask.

Watch out for this sign. Habal-habal drivers are waiting around the corner.
6. Take a Habal-Habal (Motorcycle Ride) to the Resort

This is the long as well as rocky part. From where the bus will decrease you off, take a motorcycle trip to Punta Bulata.

It will be a bumpy ride. vertrau mir. BuUuUuMPY. envision riding a motorcycle on 4.5 kilometers of unpaved, rocky, up-down, oh-shit-what-am-I-doing-here, I’M-GONNA-DDDIIEEEEEE type of road. It was an adrenaline pumping ride. just hold on tight as well as make sure your backpack hugs your back perfectly.

But honestly, I enjoyed it! ES WAR SO LUSTIG!!! just that it’s not the type of fun you want to do again.

Fare: P100 per person.

7. welcome to Punta Bulata!

“Hello, Punta Bulata! after that death-defying motorcycle exhibition ride, there had much better be a welcome drink waiting on me!”

And assumption what, there really were welcome drinks waiting on us! COOL! We were welcomed by one of the staff, who had been waiting on us outside. He apologized for the bumpy trip as well as the unpaved road however we told him it was okay as well as we enjoyed it in a weird type of method (like exactly how we enjoy Kesha’s music).

Hurra! Punta Bulata! expect some welcome drinks!
He, then, led us to the reception where one more personnel member handed us wet towels. as well as with that, we understood our stay at the resort would be more than memorable. We just hope not to encounter one more drunk man.
