Witness the untainted beauty of Kalanggaman Island in Leyte with this shared day tour. This trip appeals to beach lovers and adventure-seekers who look forward to enjoying the beach scene without that much crowd.
From Tacloban City, you will make your way to the town of Palompon, where you will be transferred to a boat. The ride will give you a glimpse of the vibrant seascape of the area, so make sure to take plenty of photos while on the way to Kalanggaman Island.
Derived from the word “langgam,” which translates to “bird” in the Cebuano dialect, Kalanggaman Island got its name because of its peculiar shape. When viewed from above, the island looks much like a bird in flight. Apart from its unique shape, the island has been slowly turning into a beach destination thanks to its turquoise blue waters and long sandbars from both sides of the island.
Upon arrival on the island, you will be welcomed by its gorgeous white sand beach lined with numerous palm trees. The sandbar is best viewed in the morning so make sure that you’re up and early. Enjoy walking along the stretch of white sand before taking a dip in the island’s pristine waters.
Feel free to roam around the vicinity before enjoying a picnic-style lunch by the beach. Aside from swimming, you may also try the other activities available in the island, such as kayaking and snorkeling. Banana boats and jet skis are also available for rent.
Kalanggaman Island is not only beautiful from above, but it is also rich in marine biodiversity. Because of its calm waters, it is easy to explore underwater where you will witness an abundance of corals, marine life, and varieties of fish. Before the day ends, you will be riding a boat back to Palompon Port.
