Top Picks for Southeast Luzon

1. Donsol - Swimming alongside Bicol's gentle giants, the whale sharks of Donsol
2. Mt Mayon - Scrambling up Bicol's decidedly nongentle giant, 'perfect' Mt Mayon
3. Catanduanes - Relaxing and waiting for the legendary Majestics surf break to kick in on Catanduanes
4. Bagasbas Beach - Learning to hang 10 at equally fickle Bagasbas Beach, outside Daet
5. Caramoan Peninsula - Exploring the limestone cliffs and pristine beaches of the beautiful Caramoan Peninsula
