You will meet your guide at Bancal Port Carles. You will register at the tourism office there and fill out some forms. Then, you will be taken to a boat and start your journey to Pulupandan Island.
Pulupandan Island is usually the first stop in Islas de Gigantes island-hopping tours. It got its name from the Pulupandan trees on the island. There are only 25 square meters of land on the island when the tide comes in. In less than a minute, you can walk from one end to the other. Swim and relax in the area before going to Cabugao Gamay Island, the most popular spot in Islas de Gigantes.
Cabugao Gamay is one of the three small southern islands in Islas de Gigantes. What makes this island unique is the rock formation covered in vegetation. Make sure to take a photo at one of the highest points on the island for the best view of Cabugao Gamay.
Next, you will go to Lantangan Beach, where you will eat your seafood lunch with unlimited rice and free coffee. Then, you will go to Antonia Beach, which is famous for its white sand beach and unique limestone boulders that rise out of the ground.
Your next stop is Bantigue Sandbar. Perfect for snorkeling and sunset-watching, it has gorgeous white sand and shallow waters that make it easy for travelers to swim around the island. There are also some unique rock formations that are great for travel photos.
After that, you will go to Tangke Salt Water Lagoon for your last stop. This lagoon is also called the Enchanted Lagoon for its mysterious history. According to the locals, the water levels inside Tangke would rise dramatically, as if by magic, on June 24, which is the feast of St. John the Baptist. The lagoon has azure waters and beautiful rock formations, making it a great place to cool off. It is one of the most popular places to visit in this province. Have fun swimming and cliff-diving before you go back to the port.
