"We saved an island, now we invite you to explore it." Danjugan Island is a marine reserve and wildlife sanctuary, 3 kilometers off the coast of Bulata, Cauayan, Negros Occidental, Philippines. The island is 1.5 kilometers long and 0.5 kilometers at its widest point, has 5 lagoons and is covered with limestone forests providing asylum to many wildlife species that struggle to exist in the mainland. What once used to be a threatened and over-fished area is now a protected sanctuary with a dazzling array of marine and terrestrial life. Today, the island serves as an outdoor classroom for students, a research area for conservationists, and a haven for tourists eager to experience nature at its purest. Danjugan Island is a project of The Philippine Reef and Rainforest Conservation Foundation, Inc. Danjugan's five lagoons, numerous coral reefs, and vast limestone forests provide asylum to many wildlife species.

Our stay was a mixture of rain and sun but it was still nice. The island is really lovely and very interesting. It is relaxing but don't expect any luxury. A day trip or an overnight stay is not enough to really enjoy the island. We stayed at the open huts. Not bad but be aware that as it is open, there could be lizards or geckos roaming around. The roof also got some holes hence we needed to move our matress to protect it from the rain. I told it to the management hence I hope they could do some repair. The food served are really good and a lot and the staff are friendly too. There are a lot to do and explore on the island. It may not be good for first timers though. The guides may need more training on English so as to better explain more about the island to foreigner quests. I also told the guide that I am not a good swimmer and may panic in the open water but I guess he did not take it seriously. I still enjoy the stay though. I really liked the typhoon beach and sunset deck though. The bamboo hut of the other side is a hidden gem! Quiet, relaxing and got a network signal.
