North Cebu Adventure: The Virgin Island of Bantayan Island
Virgin Island or also known as Sillion Island locally, is one of the main attractions in Bantayan Island. It is a small privately owned island that is just a boat away from the main island that. Here's our experience on the island.
The island is around 20-30 minutes away from the main island of Bantayan (if you do not know how to go to Bantayan Island, click here). Since it is a private island, there are no regular passenger boat going to it so you need rent one. The rates depend on the size of the boat. A boat which is good for 4-6 people is around P800 to P1300. You can ask your place of accommodation for the boat.
As soon as we reached Santa Fe, we immediately checked-in and rented a boat to go to Virgin Island. We dock on the beach side of the island. The island is small but you can't explore the whole of it. The beach area is where all guests stay for the day tour and the overnight stay. It was a little gloomy that day but, that doesn't stop of on enjoying the beautiful island.
The beach area is wide. There are playing area for beach volleyball, hammocks and lounge chairs where you can relax, and a garden-like area where grass, plants and trees are groomed. The island is perfect if you just want to have a quiet, relaxing getaway. But, if you are looking for some activities like snorkeling, you might get disappointed since there's just a very little marine life around the island. There's also no water activities available.
So, expect just a quiet, relaxing and enjoyable moment in this beautiful island if you are to visit. Thanks for reading, you may also check here for a Bantayan Island Travel Guide.

ReplyDeleteIt is necessary to give careful thought to the appropriate packaging in order to store the items. Long-term preservation options include putting meat in jars or cans, as well as putting wine away in barrels. Examine both the food itself and the container it came in to be sure there won't be any chemical reactions that might affect the meal's taste or its overall quality.
