Bantayan Island

Autumn is slowly creeping in but before that, let me post this beautiful photo of the Virgin Island, a nearby island just a couple of hours away from Bantayan Island in the province of Cebu, Philippines.

Clear blue waters, white sand, hot sun - the perfect combination for a perfect summer vacation. It is a very beautiful place for snorkeling too - with lots of fish or just lazing about on one of the hammocks while sipping a tumbler of fresh mango juice. There is a viewing deck further on and cliff diving on the other side of the island for the more adventurous at heart.

Nothing really beats nature's beauty. It was a brief stay but the memories we made with family and friends will forever be treasured.

Ah, Bantayan!

Guess where me and my little girl's happy feet has taken us this time? To Bantayan Island in Cebu, Philippines! Great sunrise, white sandy beach, fresh seafood, warm company... what more can I ask? It was just for an overnight stay but it has been great! Until next time Bantayan... I hope I can better explore you on our next visit. Thanks for the warmth and the hospitality!

Fresh catch... guess who killed Lapu-lapu?

Dried fish anyone?

To get to Bantayan Island, we first drove from our starting point in Toledo City going to Hagnaya Port. Then from the port, we took the ferry (fare costs Php170/person + terminal fee of Php5/person) going to Bantayan Island. From the port of Bantayan, you can either take the shuttle service of the resort where you are staying in (which are in most cases free of charge) or take a motorcycle, a multi-cab, or a tricycle. 

Where will our happy feet take us for our next adventure? Stay tuned and stay updated!
