My girlfriends and I arrived in Laoag City via Florida bus from Manila at 7:30AM. It was a tiring ten- hour bus ride but that didn't  dampen our spirits for the first agenda on our list, Lapaz Sand Dunes. 

After breakfast at Jollibee, replenished and energized, we were met by our 4x4 driver and guide. For the booking,we paid the 50% down payment via bank deposit to the operator five days before the booked date (will try to remember the contact person hehe) and settled the remaining upon meet up. The tour + adventure included the 4x4 vehicle ride to Lapaz and sandboarding.

Adrenaline started to pump up as we were greeted by the 4x4 vehicle that drove us to Lapaz.

This area marks the starting point of the sand dunes in view of the ocean + sand + wild plants -makes you feel like you're in Africa.

Before heading out to the real dunes..

imagine how steep the slope is
nervous as heck

The heart-wrenching, crazy ride ended here. The 4x4 went through super high slopes that drove us mad with excitement.

The whole 4x4 ride and sandboarding experience was indeed one for the books. Had so much fun! Ended up exhausted and dirty but happy.
