Gigantes Island from Iloilo City

If you’re looking for a break from deadlines and stress, the Gigantes Islands may be just what you need. This island group off the coast of Iloilo has plenty of beaches, a small population, and almost no cell service. There’s no escaping the relaxation! With worry free private transfers from Iloilo City, you will visit the Island for 2 days. Despite the increase of tourist arrivals in recent years, Gigantes has retained its off-beat charm and remains relatively underdeveloped compared to Boracay, Bohol, and other mainstream tourist destinations in the Philippines

The Gigantes Islands, also known as Islas de Gigantes or the islands of giants, is a remote group of islands located off the coast of Carles and Estancia towns in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It takes at least 5 hours to get there from Iloilo City. Those willing to go the “extra mile” can look forward to enjoying beautiful seascapes and a laid-back island lifestyle that Gigantes has to offer. The islands are blessed with pristine white sand beaches, bountiful fresh seafood, and jagged rock formations shrouded by mystical tales of locals.

The 2 day-tour has four highlights and itinerary is pretty flexible. But usually, the first highlight would be at Cabugao Gamay Island. It is the most photographed spot of Islas de Gigantes simply because it is the most picturesque. The island features a twin beach with a hill on the southern end while a rock formation located on the north end of the island serves as a view deck where the postcard perfect shots of the island is taken.  A natural pool locally called Tangke. Formed like a tank of water with limestones serving as its wall, Tangke is also a favorite spot for swimming, especially during high tide when the water is deeper. Tangke also known as a "secret" lagoon. Bantigue Island. The main attraction of the island is the S-shaped sandbar which appears during low tide. Tour participants will again have the chance to swim in the clear waters of the sandbar. Antonia Beach which is part of the main Gigantes Sur Island. Just like Cabugao Gamay Island, Antonia Beach also features a twin beach. Another dominating feature of the beach is the massive rock formation which extends to the sea. The clear turquoise water is perfect for swimming, only when the beach is not full of boats. Just to set the expectations, Antonia Beach can really get crowded, especially during lunchtime.
