Cabugao Gamay Island

Reviewed By PaulCollingz - Bantayan Island, Philippines

We took an Island Hopping Tour booked by Fulham Road Travel & Tours in Manila with local Gigantes Island Travel & Tours. Everyone was professional and a pleasure to deal will. The Banca ride around the islands was fantastic as the weather was near perfect (March- May) We took the Day Tour including lunch and first stop was at Cabugao Gamay Island, an instagram favorite! Throughly enjoyed the trip and highly recommend the Island Hopping

Antonia Beach

Reviewed By herlculis - Quezon City, Philippines

One of my favorite spots in Isla de Gigantes, Antonia Beach is very relaxing to spend few hours. After we visited the two spots, we decided to have our lunch here with our food served by our tour guide. Same with the nearby islands, Antonia Beach has also white sand surrounded by big rock formations which actually you can climb on to get your photos taken. I also prefer staying in Antonia Beach rather than in Bantigue Island for relaxing/lunch time because it's more peaceful and there's a lot of coconut trees that make the place shady. For the food, you may order your fresh steamed scallops here for P100 per tray. Sobrang fresh because they harvested it straight from the sea, no salt, no msg. ???? We literally ate hundred pieces! ????Activities you can do: ▫️Relaxing ▫️Swimming ▫️Photo taking (for ig!) ▫️Eating scallops!!! ????Tour Fee: Included in our package but you may get the P999 fee as joiner

Bantigue Island

Reviewed By tommomelbourne - Melbourne, Australia

This was one stop off point during our island hopping in Isla Gigantes. An under rated however excellent place to do island hopping. Bantigue has a great sandbar with excellent white sand and clear waters. Bantigue, Cabugao Gamao and Tangke are all excellent stops.

Great for secluded swimming and sunbathing on this charming Islet. There is a small shack for some soft drinks but no food available on the Islet. About 1 hour travel time from Bancal Port
