There are different tour packages for a Calaguas Island visit. If you are asking how much they cost, I can only say that it will depend on the inclusions of the said package. While some would offer 3 days 2 nights which is well just covered for a weekend travel, during summer season or peak season, tour offers last 4-5 days.
Either which case, Calaguas Island tour for a 3days 2 nights package would mostly cost Php 3 thousand pesos up to Php 3.5 thousand pesos. On the other hand, if you take a peek at Sulit offers, some would give you 5 days 4 nights which usually costs from Php 4 thousand pesos up to 5 thousand pesos.
I'd like to suggest for you if you want to take any offer to first ask the management before you embark for a reservation and fill up a form. Remember that inclusions will give you a clue on what you like to experience in a travel tour. Calaguas Island is a beach so be sure that the activities in line with the package you are getting from the people offering the tour will be in line with beach activities.

Calaguas Island: White Sand Beach in Philippines
Perhaps one of the only virgin islands left in the Philippines with purely white sand beach is Calaguas Island. A few friends come and go there just to have fun and experience the serenity of the nature island and hospitality of the people in it. Although not much known by many because in order to get there, you will have to travel a strenous driving terrain of Laguna, Quezon and eventually Bicol in Daet for 8 long hours coming from Metro Manila.
Apart from this long hours of travel by land, before reaching the virgin island, you will have to travel another 2 hours of endless sea by boat, a motor boat or baroto as called by some. But of course, reaching Mahabang Buhangin where you can finally find refuge to nature that the virgin island of Calaguas hosts. Truly, very few would take pride in an adventure worth traveling for lovers of nature. But for those who are just there to see it, so be it. I have a few friends offering Calaguas Island tour that you can take a peek at I will disclose the contact details of the men behind, the chef and the photographer who took pride in introducing to as many as they could, the island that they so loved the most.
I've personally been there and I must admit it, the travel is worth it. The beach white sand is even more deserving for such interest even just to go see it. To swim in its shallow waters up more than 1 kilometer far is just awesome. No jellyfish to swarm in your skin and pollution to feel or worry about. Calaguas Island is all about being close to bliss via nature's best. One small request though, please, if you ever get there, preserve the place to as much as you could, don't litter and don't leave your trash there. It is a paradise on earth that very few would enjoy. Take pride at being able to experience the place and don't leave your mark.
