It's approx 2 hour trip from the airport to Majestics. Be aware of rip offs and unfriendly locals. There is another epic spot before you get to Majestics worth checking out on the way called Moning, outer right hand reef break you have to hire bankai boat to get to.
Atmosphere
Beautiful setting on the beach. Stay in nipa huts surrounded by palm trees. Be ready to eat lot of rice and local filipino foods.
General
Great wave when it's on. Best time during typhoon season.

no-good - This place has no power or shape even on a huge swell.Poverty has forced the local children (and some adults) to live in the water near shore and swim around the tourists like little remora and snip out their wallets and eat their doo-doo see this is what you get as commonplace in the third world!!!

Majestic - The name stands for itself. Even the locals are even scared of their own homebreak..

Fickle But Sick - Majestics can be flat for ages, then just pump, pump, pump.
It's a sick, sick, hollow wave. Too much for most people to handle. The reef will open you up, too. Last time I checked, not a lot of hospitals in the area.
Haven't been there for ten years. I imagine the people surrounding Puraran have gotten more daring and aggressive. But I could be wrong.
