Panglao Island

Welcome to the new week on on Island Blog

Today we go on with another philippine island: Panglao

Panglao is an island in the Philippines located in the Central Visayas. Panglao is located southwest of the island of Bohol and in the east of Cebu.

Well, I wasn't in Panglao until now, so i can't tell you a lot about.
The most beutiful beach in Panglao is the Dumaluan Beach, followed by the Alona Beach 2km southernly. Those Beach are in southeast of Panglao. At the Dumaluan Beach are only two hotels. The Dumaluan Beach Resort 1 and 2 and the Bohol Beach Club. At the Bohol Beach Club they have a Dive base. Like i know, you can go there to dive also when you rest in the Dumaluan Beach Resort. Some other Dive Shops are located at the Alona Beach. One of the best Dive offerer on the island are the Sea Explorers. The Sea Explorers are located everywhere in the Central Visayas. You could also book a island hopping tour with them.

If you are some days in Panglao, you need to travel one day to Bohol for visiting the chocolate hills.

On the way to the chocolate hills you should open your eyes. With a bit of luck you'll see the "Bohol tarsier".
 This is the second-smallest primate of the world.

Boracay Island, philippines

Boracay is an island of the Philippines located approximately 315 km south of Manila and 2 km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines. In 1990, it was voted by the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook as one of the best beaches in the world and again in 1996 by British publication TV Quick as the world's number one tropical beach.

Boracay is a typical tourist-island. What i mean with that? Take a look at this picture:

lot of people on the beach

My opinion is, that it's good to go there for some chillout-days at the beach. But after a few days, you should go on with your travel. The philippines got much more to give than just a beautiful beach! :)


Ok, get on with the positive things. If you'll pay a little bit more than just for the default hotels, go to the Boracay beach resort. It's a bit outside of the touristical main-stream. There you can find a lonely beach.


So, with all that facts i would say, its a travel worth. I think with following pictures you'll confirm my opinion.

Cabilao Island

Welcome to the todays post on the island blog

Today I will promote you the island Cabilao. Cabilao is just 7km in the west of Bohol. Cabilao belongs to the archipelago of visayas.

Card based on google maps

 It's a perfect island for diving. There are a lot of different dive-spots there. Some good spots for beginners and a lot of good spots for advanced and expert divers. A good dive-spot overview you can get here (german).

For the moment, i can't tell anything about the hotels there. I'm sorry for that.

Belong, I listened some pictures  for you.

Have fun with them, and happy holiday-dreams,

Hello again

Like i wrote before, i'll start with some philippine islands. First, I'll show you some details of malapascua, that is in the nord of Cebu.

based on google maps

To get to malapascua, you need to fly to Cebu (Mactan-Cebu International Airport; Filipino Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Mactan-Cebu) and travel then with a taxi or a bus in the north of cebu to take a banka, a  small philippine boat, that will bring you to malapascua.

Malapascua is a 2km long and 800m wide island with 5000 habitants. It's the best district to dive with tresher sharks. If you like those animals, it's a stop worth.

Enough informations, here you get some pictures:
