One of my favorite trips is going to the different islets of Bohol Island. Since it is surrounded by around 70 islets, there is a lot to choose from!

On a Sunday, we explored an island less than two hours of travel from Tagbilaran City located in the beautiful town of Loon. It was a day full of sun, sea, and relaxation as it seemed like we owned the beach that day. 😍

We went there to explore and swim. Sadly, we weren’t able to swim since we went there on the lowest tide (didn’t check the tide forecast 😅). So we explored, “sat” 😂 in the water, and relaxed (and slept) by the beach. It was an interesting place and we had a refreshing visit!

Here are some TIPS for going to Cabilao Island!

On Food:

There are a few options available for meals on the island so better bring your own food. Although you can buy drinks and some snacks near the docking area.

Cottages:

These are available at a decent price and are good for families and big groups since the place doesn’t have a lot of shaded areas.

Comfort rooms:

Available for Free, and water is available but use it as little as possible since the island does not have an abundant water source.

Support the local economy:

Spend as much as possible on the island.  Buy food, use their local transport, etc. It is a small contribution to the island! 😊

Leave no trace:

Make sure to bring back the trash you will have and pick up some trash you see by the beach too. 👍  #responsibleTravel

How to get there?

We rode a jeep from Cogon Bus Terminal in Tagbilaran City going to Sandingan Island, Loon. From there was a motorboat going to Cabilao Island which was around 10 minutes trip.

Then from there, we rode habal-habal or motorcycle to the beach they call Baluate where we spent the rest of our time.

FARES

• Jeep (Tagbilaran – Sandingan, Loon): Php 45
• Motorboat (Sandingan – Cabilao Island): Php 20
• Habal-habal/Motorcycle (Cabilao dock- Baluarte) – Php 20
