Heyaaah Hiveeers !!!, welcome to my #LakwatsaniIntoy Diary 035 | Pristine Beach Of Virgin Island at Bantayan Cebu Philippines. For today's blog, I will bring you to one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines. A small island that surely you will never forget. Come, let's Visit this place !!!
This travel adventure happened last June 13, 2021, when I and my colleagues decided to stay on Bantayan Island for 2 days and 1 night. We get a great deal tour package in one resort on the island for just only $30 each. And one inclusion of the Travel tour is Island Hopping in the Virgin Islands.
Virgin Island Of Bantayan
This islet is offshore from Bantayan. One of the popular tourist destinations when visiting Bantayan Island. It is part of the Municipality of Sta. Fe is the center of tourism on the island. This islet is privately owned and has 31 hectares in total area. The management of the islet controls the number of people visiting daily to make sure the islet is maintained and in good condition.
The islet has a pristine beach with fine white sand and crystal-clear water. Theirs a lot of activities you can do on this beach. It has a wide shoreline in a docking area where you can do volleyball beach, Camping, and sunbathes. You will also love swimming, diving, Kayaking, and snorkeling in the clear water of the ocean. Im amazed actually how clear the water on this island is compared to the other beaches we've visited.
One of the activities I love on the island is Snorkeling. Underneath this beautiful beach is a healthy marine sanctuary where a lot of different species of fish and colorful corals will be found. The island also has paradise under the sea that you will never forget.
This is the spot we love on the beach, we stay here under the big Tree where its branches reached up to the ocean and shade us from the sun. In this area, we chill, dive, snorkel, and treasure our time together with this amazing view of the island. We know it's hard to repeat this kind of moment with this crazy person on this pristine beach.
How to Reach Virgin Island?
If you are already on Bantayan Island, you need to travel first to Sta. Fe port where you will find the rentable boats going to the island. Travel time from the Sta. Fe Port to the Virgin Islands is approximately 30 minutes. There is no regular passenger boat from the mainland of Bantayan going to the Virgin Islands, Just make sure to plan first together with your resort so they can find a boat for you. It is also advisable to visit the Island in groups so you can lessen the cost of boat Transportation. If you are a Solo Traveler and compromise your travel budget, find a group of people going to the island to join in. No worries Filipinos are hospitable I'm sure will join in π.

This beach of the Virgin Islands is one of the best beaches I've visited so far. I will never forget the moment I have on this wonderful island. I will definitely be back on this island.

How I wish I could experience this kind of beach experience too. Gosh! The sand's color, the clarity of water, and the view is truly amazing. Thus, the $30 is so worth it though. Since it happened way back 2021, then you perhaps miss going out with friends here once again. !PIZZA
Visit Cebu @dennnmarc, you will find a lot of this kind of beaches.
Indeed, I miss my travel buddies. Hoping we could spent more travel venture soon.
$30 each is already a good offer if the beach is beautiful as this! This what I love in the province, you can enjoy beaching with a cheaper expense unlike if you are staying here in Manila.π€£
Pearks working in a place where you find a lot of tourist destination. Asside from amazing views they are also affordable.
I don't know if I can work in Manila, I will work luzon I will prefer in provinces than a City.
Hitting two birds in a one stone ang peg!
Haha kapag here ka sa manila, nearest beach is Batangas or Bataan I guess.
Pero not like that...haha maganda Zambales ka na punta...
Hahah, dapat ganyan ang mindset natin, we are not born for work only, we are also here to explore and roam around.
Waaa I miss Bantayan Island! Such a magical place!
Hahaha beach of bantayan calling you, Uli na diri sa Cebu π
Hahaha! Nice bitaw unta... for now, suya2x na lang sa
Hahaha, ay kabalaka naa pa koy bala diri para nimo π
HAHAHAHA HUHUHU mao ka
Is the rate is as of this writing? The last time we went there around 2018, we paid 1500 roundtrip .. but we got stranded in the middle of the sea because of motor troubles lol. The price we have to pay. But virgin island for me is overrated. The main island of bantayan is a lot better.
I don't know the current rate for the fare going to the island. Lets assume it increase as we observe inflation is around the corner.
