@@LaurenJason Am a Cebuana and living in Manila. Am just an hour flight to Cebu so if I want to enjoy Bantayan Island beaches I only have to book a flight. Anyway, thank you for the invite.
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.
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 just went there last week for my birthday and to think it's already my 6th time visiting the place . I just love this Island and this is my comfort place away from the city.
I love Bantayan 🇵🇭❤️ I've been there November 2022. I went visit Kota Beach, The Ruins, Mangrove Park Omagieca, Ogtong Cave and my favorite place Paradise Sandira Beach ❤ I'll be back this November. I hope. 😉🥰
👍83👍 What an amazing and beautiful visit to this Ireland you have brought up! . We highly feel true natural beauty of it's. An excellent initiative you have taken and given a detail about perception of your visit. Thank you very much for sharing! May God bring unlimited happiness for you! Greetings from India 🙏🌹
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.
To be honest we would definitely split it up between Bantayan and somewhere down south! In 2 days you can see everything you want with Bantayan. I’m not sure if you’ve seen our Moalboal video yet but we LOVED Moalboal haha. Of course if you prefer to slow travel and really relax then 6 days is fine too!
Hope you had the chance to taste the lechon manok there at Bantayan Island. The one I tasted there (4A's lechon manok) was the best one of all the lechon manok in the Philippines.
Thank you! If you stay in the town center (Poblacion), we found the internet fantastic and very stable but if you venture outside of it, it does become very spotty!
Hahah yes it’s quite busy in Italy but understandable with how beautiful it is there 😍. We loved how quiet it was on Bantayan, very few tourists actually 👍
And videos like this will cause the crowds to come and ruin the place & raise prices. A few locals will benefit others will just pay inflated prices for everything .... speaking from experience.

Great videoe 🙌 can you please inform us which month you went? Im planning a trip, and trying to find out which month is the best to visit different places near Cebu
We stayed at Jelly’s Haven Resort! It’s pretty cool they have free pick up from the ferry terminal as well. Here’s a link to the booking! www.booking.com/hotel/ph/jelly-39-s-haven-resort.en.html?aid=2166762&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2
We didn’t notice as much trash on the beach itself but definitely the path leading up to it! Hopefully, in the future they can maintain it as you suggested 🥰

Thanks for watching! 🥰
Good day! Do you still remember how much the boat for island hopping? I love your videos!😍💙🥹
Thank you! The boat charter was 1800PHP and 200PHP for the snorkel rental!
Welcome to my hometown enjoy your day
We had such a great time! 😍

We went to the Philippines back in 02' and even the most popular islands felt like this
That must have been so amazing to experience that! 🥰
Hope you had the chance to taste the lechon manok there at Bantayan Island. The one I tasted there (4A's lechon manok) was the best one of all the lechon manok in the Philippines.
Unfortunately we didn’t but we will definitely note that down the next time we get to visit! It must have been delicious.
honestly its one of the islands i personally gatekeep 😂 because i dont want it to be too popular and become the next boracay.
Hahah we totally get that! There were mostly locals that we saw so it was really nice and quiet!
We are planning to go this May - we were just wondering what resort did you stay/any recommendations?
This is the resort we stayed at! agoda.tp.st/SUss34PC
We wanted to stay in a quieter area with a beach!
great content! I'm curious, is the internet connection on the island stable enough to work while vacationing?
Thank you! If you stay in the town center (Poblacion), we found the internet fantastic and very stable but if you venture outside of it, it does become very spotty!
So beautiful❤
It’s a wonderful island! 🥰
I cannot believe how little people there is! If this was Italy, people would be in every place haha
Hahah yes it’s quite busy in Italy but understandable with how beautiful it is there 😍. We loved how quiet it was on Bantayan, very few tourists actually 👍

DJI Mini 3 Pro!

I wish to comeback my land iland cebu inhis time
What do you mean there was a language barrier
A lot of the locals only speak Cebuano so it was more challenging!
How much is the private tour?
All the tours from Bantayan (at least from the dock where we did our tour) are private so it’s all the same cost as we paid!
Hi Hm is the island hopping tour?
It was 1800PHP for the boat (doesn’t matter amount of people) and 100PHP for each person’s snorkel gear!
Homegirl be looking super pretty.
How much is the private boat tour for 2?
The boat tour itself was 1800PHP and 200PHP for both of our snorkel sets!
I like the plce
We loved it here!
💖👍

@@christyg173 you’re welcome 🥰
@@LaurenJason do they have a strong and stable internet connection?
@@katierodriguez3374 in the main town center it’s very strong! Anywhere else the connection can get spotty!
🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭
😍😍😍
So many trash on the Sandira beach. They should use the entrance fee to maintain the beach. It is still beautiful, but a little bit saddening.
We didn’t notice as much trash on the beach itself but definitely the path leading up to it! Hopefully, in the future they can maintain it as you suggested 🥰
I own a lot there, for same there very cheap , contact me for further information
Can u give details about stay?
