Recommendations/Suggestions

1. You can do boating along the coast of mangroves at Biri Island before or after your rock

formations tour.

2. It is advisable to go to the rock formations during low tide.

3. If you have an extra day with you, you can stay for a day and overnight at San Antonio, Dalapiri

Island from Capul instead of heading straight to Allen for pure relaxation at the beach. There is a

couple of beach resort facilities in San Antonio.

Alternative route: Capul to Dalapiri by boat then Dalapiri to San Antonio by habal-habal then San Antonio to Allen by boat.
