travel to Kalanggaman Island: Travel tips and some Important Reminders

Here are some tips and important reminders when going to Kalanggaman Island.

Kalanggaman Island

Travel tips and some Important Reminders

· Bring your sunnies, I tell you, you will really need one.

· If you just plan to have a day tour, make sure to go there early in the morning so that you have ample time to enjoy the beauty of the Island.

· There are available tents in the Island but you can bring your own tent if you want to.

· There are huts and cottages for rent in the Island.

· Tourists are allowed to bring their own food in the Island.

· Clean Restrooms and Shower Areas are available in the Island.

· Bring enough drinking water; there is no potable water in the Island.

· Bring Power Banks or extra batteries for your gadgets as there’s no electricity in the Island.

· Be a responsible traveler; bring your own trash back to the main land.

· Book your trip and make a reservation before anything else. Only limited people per day are allowed in the island so there are bookings required.

· It is recommended to start your boat trip as early as 6am if you prefer smooth sailing. Dolphins are also visible during this hour.

Photography Tips

During the sunrise and the sunset is the best time to capture stunning photos at the Island. So it is recommended to be in the Island early so that you can experience the sunrise and the sunset there if you only plan to have a day tour. But if you will stay overnight, you can go there, not too early because you will still have the chance to experience the sunrise the next day if you stay overnight there.

When is the best time to go to Kalanggaman Island?

Since Philippines is a tropical country, most of the time it is always sunny. So you can go to Kalanggaman Island any day except when there are typhoons (of course). The months of July to September are usually rainy months and typhoons come within these dates. During these months, sailing to the Island is not allowed. Again, be sure to contact first the Ecotours Office to ask for assistance.
