This is one of the most well-known tourist attractions in Cebu's Bantayan Island. It's ideal for beach lovers and those who just want to unwind.

Despite the fact that I've read a number of blogs on this, I'd want to share my observations and the joy I had when I visited.

When I went with my family and friends to this place. Because one of our friends has family in the area, we were able to get great savings on boat rentals and a free tour.

I also got the opportunity to sit at the boat's very front and put my feet in the sea. When I'm on a boat, I do this all the time since it's such a pleasant sensation. You can feel your feet being massaged, and you have the impression that you are in a hammock. It also reminds me of my childhood memories of riding a horse, carabao, or cow in my hometown. I know it's strange, but if you have the courage to try, you won't be disappointed.

When I first arrived, I went on a tour of the entire island to take in its splendor. In their marine sanctuary, they offer a site for fish feeding and another for snorkeling, both of which are quite appealing and urge you to swim. A beach volleyball court is also available. It's more enjoyable to play as a group. Aside from that, there is a jumping area. It's a bamboo scaffolding built by locals on top of a rock. The so-called "cliff jumping spot" is around 15-25 feet high. They also provide cottages for rent, with prices varying depending on the sort of cottage you want to rent and there are free hammocks available. Lastly, you may also enjoy a meal or a drink at a nearby restaurant bar but it's expensive.

TIPS:

  1. I recommend that you go to the island with your group or join another group. You can pool your resources to cover the expense of renting a boat to go there and return to your resort.

  2. Much better if you visit this place when it's hide tide to enjoy the cliff and other stuff. If you don't know if it's high tide or low tide, you can look at it the Philippine calendar. If the number beside the date is in color blue it means High tide but if it's red then it's low tide. ( I bet you didn't know this )
