Private Island Hopping and Seafood Tour in Gigantes Islands, Iloilo

A full‑day island‑hopping tour from Iloilo City to Islas de Gigantes is a classic itinerary for exploring the stunning natural scenery of the Visayan Sea. It covers four hot spots: Bantigue Sandbar, Antonia Beach, Cabugao Gamay Island, and Tangke Saltwater Lagoon, complete with professional guided tours and complimentary seafood lunch, allowing you to enjoy white sand, cliffs, and rich marine life.

The tour departs from Iloilo City and heads to Bancal Port in Carles to board the boat, starting an 8–10 hour island‑hopping adventure. The first stop is Bantigue Sandbar, which reveals a stretch of white sand at low tide, making it a perfect photo spot.

Next, head to Antonia Beach, which boasts powdery white sand and crystal‑clear blue waters, ideal for swimming and snorkelling, with surrounding karst rock formations adding to the grandeur.

Most breathtaking is Tangke Saltwater Lagoon, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, forming a natural saltwater pool. The lagoon water is emerald green, peaceful and perfect for swimming, with karst landscapes contrasting beautifully with the blue‑green water.

The entire tour is led by a local guide, providing in‑depth explanations of the geological and ecological features of each island. A complimentary seafood lunch is served by the seaside at noon; be sure to try the local speciality scallops—freshly caught seafood paired with the sea view offers a feast for both the palate and the eyes.
