Address: Gigantes island Atmosphere/Facilities: Romantic, Natural Key Points: Travel to 6 islands by boat, and each island has a set schedule for each day, such as photo time, free swimming, diving zone, snorkeling, and lunch (unlimited scallop refills). Average price per person: KRW 50,000-60,000 Rating: ☆☆☆ This is not available in Korean travel products or travel packages, and can only be reserved in the mainland Philippines. It is used by many locals or international students. However, it is not easy to make a reservation or access without the help of locals or international students, and when moving from the city to the port, you have to take the provided van for 3 hours to the port. However, there are not many Koreans and relatively few people, so it is leisurely and undamaged, and the island is very, very beautiful. You can also stay on the island, and you should inquire when making a reservation. However, if you stay on the island, it is said that there are a lot of bugs because the houses are made of wood. Recommended for one day use!! There are many different photo zones and you will have unforgettable memories. #iloilo #gigantesislands

Can’t get over with our Isla Gigantes experience. The food was impressive with lots of crabs, prawns, adobong pusit and unlimited scallops. the boat we got was okay and the tour guide were friendly. The Antonio island is my favorite place but the Tangke Lagoon is very beautiful. mobile signal signal is very limited. For the price we paid (999), it was definitely worth if. #beachlife
