Top Places to Visit on Bantayan Island | Travel Guide + Island Hopping

We visited the underrated and incredibly beautiful island of Bantayan in the Philippines! Located on the island of Cebu, Bantayan hosts amazing beaches, crystal clear waters, and secluded islands. A full self-guided travel guide to Bantayan Island with island hopping to Virgin Island to exploring Kota Beach. A Philippines travel guide. #philippines #bantayanislandcebu #travelguide

We booked our flight to Cebu, took the city bus then the long haul bus, a ferry from Hagnaya Port and arrived in Santa Fe after hours of transiting. But it was all going to be worth it as we discovered a more off-the-beaten-path island destination of the Philippines.

Though Bantayan doesn’t come up on many foreigners’ radars, we were so surprised to see how beautiful of an oasis it was! Sandra Beach was honestly the most pristine and massive beach we had come across in the Philippines despite Bantayan not being a small, remote island. Hopping over to the sandbars of Kota Beach and the gentle turquoise curves of Balidbid Lagoon were just a bonus of our time discovering this island.

Nice to see the latest environment of Bantayan Islands. Me and my children enjoyed swimming years ago while those beaches were still virgin and underdeveloped. Now, being a retired senior I want to enjoy the remaining years to appreciate and savor God’s creations while still alive.

I think I will visit here when I go back to the Philippines next month. I've been to Virgin Island years ago and it was beautiful. I enjoyed your video thanks.

Good day! Do you still remember how much the boat for island hopping? I love your videos!😍💙🥹

[linyu]

Great video! Footage was beautiful. My partner and I will be visiting soon and are considering staying on the island for 6 days, with some island hoping for a 1 or 2 days. How long were you guys in Bantayan island? I’m wondering if we will have enough to do for 6 days since it is such a chill place or if it’s better to travel down south like you two did for part of our trip.

[katierodriguez]

great content! I'm curious, is the internet connection on the island stable enough to work while vacationing?

[shih]

May I ask what knid of fly camera you used to take the flying video?
