BICYCLING TALIM ISLAND in Binangonan, Rizal

TALIM ISLAND is located in the middle of Laguna Bay, only 60-90 minute bicycle ride from Metro-Manila. Small boats depart the Binangonan City pier throughout the day for about 85 pesos ($1.50) one-way.

Talim means sharp, because the island is shaped like a knife.

The paved road that stretches to the North and South is [probably] 20 kilometers round-trip, but has some difficult hills. The percent grade is steep but short. It's a good workout, but not for the beginner.

If you catch the 0600 boat, you can finish the entire island, and return on the 1400 boat bringing you back to Binangonan by 1600. I departed SM Masinag at 0400 and returned by 1800.

Friendship Taste Restaurant was my favorite and is open everyday. They are located towards the North.
