Caramoan's popularity rose when it became one of the locations of the hit TV series Survivor. This destination was chosen because of its raw beauty and middle-of-nowhere appeal. I visited these group of islands and enjoyed my trip at that time. The islands were pristine and the views beautiful. There were times when our group was the only one visiting an island. Our boatman pointed out some of the sites where the cast set up camp.
