Gigantes Islands Adventure- Secluded Beaches, Saltwater Lagoons & Local Flavors

A small, picturesque islet famous for its lone coconut tree standing tall amidst a background of endless blue. Though tiny in size, Pulupandan’s charm lies in its peaceful atmosphere and striking simplicity—perfect for quick photo ops, a dip in the clear water, or simply enjoying the tranquil setting before your full island adventure begins.

Tucked within towering limestone cliffs, Tangke Lagoon is one of Gigantes’ best-kept secrets. This natural saltwater pool is only accessible during high tide, creating a magical hidden sanctuary. Surrounded by jagged rock walls and with water that turns a deep jade-green in the sun, it’s an ideal spot for a refreshing swim and peaceful escape into nature.

Cabugao Gamay is the crown jewel of the Gigantes group and one of the most photographed islands in the Philippines. This small island boasts a signature white sandbar connecting two lush hills. Guests can hike up to a scenic viewpoint for a panoramic view of the island’s unique shape—truly a highlight of the tour. Swim, relax, or take that iconic overhead photo from the wooden deck above.

This beautiful sandbar stretches far into the sea and shifts in shape with the tides, offering a dynamic and ever-changing coastal view. Surrounded by shallow, turquoise waters, Bantigue is great for walking barefoot along the sand, taking dreamy beach photos, and enjoying a relaxing swim. It’s also where guests are treated to a freshly prepared seafood lunch during the tour.

Known for its serene beauty and calm waves, Antonia Beach is the perfect island escape. The white sandy shore is fringed by rocky cliffs and shaded spots, inviting guests to rest, snorkel in the clear waters, or grab a cold drink from one of the local huts. Rich marine life makes this a great snorkeling stop—watch for vibrant fish darting through coral just off the shore

“Tinagong Dagat” translates to “Hidden Sea”—a name that perfectly captures the mystery of this secluded coastal lagoon. Tucked behind limestone formations, this quiet stretch of water feels like a secret place only locals know about. With its peaceful surroundings and untouched beauty, it’s a reflective, calming end to your island-hopping day.
