    Great beaches and very hospitable people. You can rent a motorcycle for 24hrs for just 350 pesos and you can tour the entire island. And ps., wear sunblock. Its too hot.

    People! First thing i loved about the place, then go the sceneries, white sands and blue waters. Hopefully tourists won't ruin this place like they did with Bali

    Rent a scooter for P250 (gasoline not included) and you can roam the entire 27 kilometers of Bantayan Island in less than 24 hours.

    another place that you want to explore a little far from the city almost 5 hours of travel just to reach this paradise but it's all worth it.

    Leave Cebu as early as you could. Because it will take 3 hours from Cebu North Bus terminal to reach the Hagnaya pier. You might miss the ship.

    Милый островок. Можно идти по пляжу, спрашивать про свободный номер и цену и найти вполне доступное и качественное жильё с выходом на пляж.
