Simply: WAUW! Islas de Gigantes is a little paradise! It has some vibes of El Nido and Coron, but it's far less discovered. In this video I'll show you everything :) Featuring a land tour in Gigantes Norte and the island hopping tour in Gigantes Sur.

-WHAT TO SEE IN ISLAS DE GIGANTES-

We did two tours. The tour over land and the island hopping tour.

► Land tour
We’ve mainly seen two places:
- The old lighthouse
- Bakwitan Cave

Both are places you can hang around for a long time! It made up for a good daytrip. NOTE if you want to get all the way through in Bakwitan Cave (it’s quite big) you need to be prepaired. Good shoes and flashlight. There are some narrow passways. Otherwise just do like me and return halfway to the same entrance you entered!

► Island hopping
We arranged this through our resort. It’s one of the highlights of Islas de Gigantes.
Main attractions are around Gigantes Sur (the southern island)
We saw:
- Little Boracay or Mini Boracay or actually Tinagong Dagat. Fine sand and clear blue water
- Antonia beach (great for lunch and snorkeling)
- Salt water lagoon Tangke (fly the drone if you dare! Or swim in the shallow water)
- Cabugao Gamay Island (take a picture and enjoy the view. The most famous spot of the whole tour)
- Sandbar! Last in our tour, and a good way to end! Make sure you walk a bit over the entire island, it’s nice!


-WHERE TO SLEEP IN ISLAS DE GIGANTES-

Most resorts are in Isla de Gigantes Norte. It’s not the fancy resorts, but basic ones with good facilities. You can get food inside as well. There are more luxury resorts popping up. I am curious what this place will look like in a few years time!

-WHERE TO EAT IN ISLAS DE GIGANTES-

We only ate at one place, in our resort. They had amazing scallops and other seafood! Or bbq pork, you name it. Not expensive and very tasty! NOTE that you have to bring your own lunch if you’re going island hopping!
