Recommendation by Joanne Ross Bernardo

Bantayan Island is one of the fast growing destinations in the Northern part of Cebu. This beautiful island known for its crystal blue waters and white sand beaches. While going around the island you’ll be able to spot cliff jumping spots that you cannot miss! But remember to be safe and check the condition of the water before jumping in. While on the island, you can rent a boat to go island hopping! The Virgin Island is one of the islands that you should not miss while in Bantayan. This island is indeed very underrated but who are we to complain right? As much as it deserves more attention, tourist would rather have the island all to themselves. It’s like a well kept secret in Cebu! Have you also heard about an island called Kalanggaman in Leyte? You can get there from Bantayan in 2 hours! It’s a beautiful long stretch of sand bar that looks like a place straight out of a post card. You can swim and takes lots of pictures while also enjoying the things that the little beautiful island has to offer in terms of food and activities. This little island is proud of its hidden beaches and islets! While going around the island on your rented motorcycle, be sure to ask the locals about some hidden spots. You’ll be surprised how many they have. And the best thing? These places would be the main attraction for other countries, but in the Philippines? It’s just a random beach that you happen to pass by! Sometimes it doesn’t even have a name yet! Imagine the privilege right? Be a responsible traveler please!
