Someone asked me this question.

" How did you get to ISLA DE GIGANTES? "

There are 2 jump of point to that Island from Iloilo

• 1st Bancal Port or Carles Port
• 2nd Estancia Fish Port

If you choose Bancal Port there's a Tourism Office there where you can get a PRIORITY PASS to TANKE LAGOON,

secure a priority pass or there's no way you can get in. Now how much is the rent for a BOAT if you want to Island hop? It will sky rocket up to 4k-10k (BOOM! 😱)depends on how big the boat which it can be done for a day tour, your call.

What I did I went to Estancia Fish Port and took a passenger boat to ISLA DE GIGANTES NORTH without a clue what myself will get into I just let the flow of my travels unfold, boat sail daily at 2:00pm and it cost me only 70 pesos and that's a lot of savings.

FINALLY! I set foot on that island.

My dilemma is where will I sleep? Hence, this Island just staring to make a scene in travel pages, home stays and hostels are like mushrooms spawning all over the place so you don't have to worry.

LOCALS KNOWS BEST! Always ask them.

One of the locals took me to this new hostel where I can stay for a night for 600 pesos good for 2 persons or 2500 pesos a room for 4-6 persons, well that's a good deal than the other home stay as my option for only 200 but without a beachfront.

THIS IS THE RESORT👇

People in this resort are so kind that they arranged my boat tour in a very affordable price for 1500 pesos and also offer me seafoods(fresh from the net) if I want to order . Yippee!

TOUR GUIDE GOES WITH THE BOATMAN IS A MUST (is it optional? not sure I didn't ask) I think every tour should have a guide as part of their tourism practices

If you need a TOUR GUIDE 👇(for 500 pesos)

• WILLIE BACAS 0948776946 or
• LEO MAYORGA 09366207405

Since I don't have a PRIORITY PASS to get into TANKE LAGOON these two tour guides are PROs that they know the ins and out of the place that they outsmarted the caretaker for me to get in. 😜 prrrfffttt!

HOW? Thats why you need to contact them. 😁

To make the story short...I enjoyed my visit to that place especially ate a tons of SCALLOPS and oysters for 1 peso each where in Boracay or in high end hotels sold it 10 for 500.

HOPE THIS POST WILL HELP YOU IN YOUR FUTURE TRAVEL TO ISLA DE GIGANTES. Happy Travel Everyone
