Travel to Kalanggaman Island: Staying overnight in Kalanggaman Island

Kalanggaman Island

If you are planning to go to Kalanggaman and you are still thinking whether to have a day tour or to stay in the Island overnight, then this post will help you out. 

 I’ve been to Kalanggaman Island four times already but I only experience overnight there, once and I would love to experience it again. If you’ll ask me, it’s better if you’ll stay there overnight to really enjoy the Island (that is, if you have the time).

Why? Because you will really love the view of the night sky here. Just make sure that you’ll go there not during the rainy season. If you also don’t want to make your skin tanner, then you can go on swimming after sunset and also another swimming session early in the morning the next day. Isn’t that a great idea?

Pros for staying overnight in Kalanggaman Island:

• You’ll be able to experience the beauty of the sunrise and the sunset at this paradise.
• Stargazing with your family and friends will really be memorable.
• You can capture more beautiful photos, especially during sunrise and sunset.
• You can swim-all-you-want without worrying about your skin.

Cons for staying overnight in Kalanggaman Island:

• There is no electricity in the Island so you’ll experience a survivor-kind of life.
• You need to bring more food.
• You need to bring power bank because I’m sure you’ll need one for your phones and cameras.

Tips: Noon time is the time where the sun is really hot when you are in the Island, so to avoid that, you can go to the Island in the afternoon (2pm-4pm is okay) just ask for the availability of the pump boat at the Ecotours office. You just have to bring food for dinner and breakfast and don't forget your midnight snacks. 😋

But if you prefer to stay there longer, you can go there early in the morning. So now, you need to bring more food: for lunch, afternoon snacks, dinner, midnight snacks and breakfast.

There is a grilling area in the Island, you can use it. You can also bring butane stove if you want or you can just bring ready-to-eat food.
