[2025 Daanbantayan Attraction] Travel Guide for Kalanggaman Island (Updated Jul)

The journey to Kalanggaman Island was an adventure in itself. The boat ride was smooth and enjoyable, allowing me to appreciate the stunning views of the crystal-clear turquoise waters and surrounding islands. As we approached the island, the sight of the long stretch of powdery white sand and vibrant coral reefs took my breath away. Once ashore, I was greeted by the warm and friendly locals who made me feel instantly welcome. The island is well-maintained, with clean facilities and shaded picnic areas. The clear, calm waters were perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. Exploring the underwater world was like entering a vibrant aquarium, with an abundance of colorful coral reefs and a variety of marine life. One of the highlights of my visit was walking along the picturesque sandbar that stretches out into the ocean. It was like walking on a dream, with the crystal-clear waters on both sides and the gentle breeze soothing my soul. The sandbar is an ideal spot for photo opportunities and a perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. For those seeking adventure, there are various activities available on the island, such as paddleboarding, jet skiing, and even camping. I highly recommend staying overnight to witness the mesmerizing sunset and the starry night sky. The tranquility of the island at night is truly magical. The island is well-preserved and the locals take great pride in keeping it clean and pristine. There are designated trash bins and signs reminding visitors to be mindful of their waste. I applaud the efforts made to protect this natural wonder and urge everyone to do their part in preserving its beauty. Overall, Kalanggaman Island is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in nature's wonders. Its stunning landscapes, friendly locals, and abundant activities make it an ideal spot for solo travelers, couples, and families alike. Just make sure to bring sunscreen, a camera, and an open heart, as this island will steal it away. #trip #beachlife #campingglamping #island #islandtravel #islandlife #philippines #philippinestrip #philippinespride

Kalanggaman Island, also known as Calangaman, is a pristine islet in the Philippines with gorgeous white-sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise water. It’s nearly impossible to put into words how incredibly beautiful this speck of land is. No Kalanggaman Island description will do it justice. It left me absolutely speechless. Already the first glimpses of the white sand and abundant coconut trees in the middle of the ocean will give you goosebumps. Kalanggaman Island offers tourists enjoyable activities like swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and scuba diving. Also restaurants is not available in the island but fresh catch from local fishermen is available to buy. There are available cooking area and wooden tables for you to enjoy your fresh catch. Since, no restaurant its better to bring in your own food, beverages, and drinking water. The best time to visit the island is during the summer season from February to May but you can still visit the island from October to June. Avoid the rainy and typhoon season which is during the months of July to September. If you hate crowded beach, avoid visiting the island during summer, national holidays, holy week and long weekends. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

🌊 The Philippines is a paradise for island lovers, with over 7,000 islands of various sizes. Kalanggaman Island is one of my favorite islands that I have visited. If you go to the Philippines, I recommend this off-the-beaten-path island paradise to you~ . Karagaman Island is one of the outer islands of Siargao Island, which my mother took pictures of. It is also one of the excellent water quality islands in the Cebu region. Although the island is not large, the jelly-like seawater is clear and transparent, and the tree shadows sway on the pure white sandy beach. Various colors are gathered together, making it as beautiful as a painting~ . Karagaman Island, the most famous is its trailing beach. The white sand beach, like a jade belt, dances lightly, "dancing" a beautiful arc on the crystal-clear jelly-like sea. Around noon, the sea slowly recedes, revealing this white sandy beach, trailing a long tail of sand, like a bride dragging her veil, making people fall in love at first sight. . On the other side of the beach, there is a beach that almost no one goes to because most people only play at the location where they disembark, so this area is particularly quiet. It seems like we have taken over this beach and can play recklessly. However, there are many reefs here, and various small crabs and shells are hidden in the crevices of the reefs. Be careful when playing, as stepping on the stones in the water can still be painful. . The sparkling sea surface in the waves, the blue sea and sky seem to be shining with warm and affectionate light. Sitting on the deck, the sea breeze and the scorching sun blow on the body, letting it be sunburned, but making this blue sea more profound in memory. . [Small tips] ◾️Karagaman Island is located near Mama Paisigua Island. It is recommended to charter a boat from Mama Paisigua Island, and the journey takes about 2 hours. (Transportation to Mama Pako Island: Take a plane to Cebu, then take a car to Maya Port in the north, and then take a boat to the island.) ◾️Be sure to apply sunscreen, the UV rays here are really strong, and you can easily get sunburned if you're not careful.

travel as much as u can as far as you can...🥰🥰

Because of the bird shaped of the island, it is called Kalanggaman Island in Palompon, Leyte. From Maya Port, the boat took us for more than an hour to the island. The place has no inhabitants. It is best for snorkeling and water sport. Its white sand makes it like Boracay but no major restaurants and accomodation. I walked around the island for almost an hour and enjoyed swimming for several hours. It was a very refreshing experience. Trip.com brings me from Manila to Tacloban City. At Tacloban airport, I travelled by car to Palompon which is about 121 kms for almost 2 hours. Tiring but my experience is worth remembering. #sea#island Travel#tripblazers

I cant imagine how beautiful, scenic these beahes are. Enjoy the sand bar with a relaxing view and tasteful food beside the shore. You should try this one in the future#tripblazers

Booking trip made it easier for me to hop from airport to airport and destinations to destinations! From traveling solo or being with family and special friends you can depend on trip to assist your needs for flights, hotels and attractions. I am thankful for trip with these and most especially their rewards program where one can get a special discount for the accumulated bookings. I love travel and it has been my tradition that yearly I would have one white sand beach to soak in and relax my tired body from the harsh winter I experienced as a foreign worker, trip is just one click awaY! I post three different photos with three different stories; 1st myself waiting for boarding the plane at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, 2nd after a vacation with my husband hopping for a domestic plane going international to be back for work and lastly me with my sister and friends enjoying Kalanggaman Island and bond to relax the body and mind! Thank You Trip! #GiveThanks
