An uninhabited small island located in the municipality
of Matalom, Southern part of Leyte Philippines. This small island (so small
that can walk around it in less than an hour) is a favorite inexpensive
place to escape of Leyteños and from the neighboring.

The wonders of this island are white sand beaches, tropical sea creatures and coral reefs. These natural wonders attracts tourists to do scuba diving.

The island took an 11 minute trip from the town, so we rode a banca,
it's P50 per head. But before you can get into the baca, a 20 meters walk
through a narrow bridge made of bamboo raft was needed. Anyway, no need to
worry because there are crews ready to help.
The island requires an entrance fee to all guests at an affordable
cost, P20 for children and P50 for adult. If you bring foods, no need to pay
for the corkage because it's totally FREE to bring any kind.
For an
overnight stay in the island, rooms, cottages and tents are available for
lease at a budget friendly price.
Room - P1, 500 with double deck bed
Cottage - P500 + P200 for overnight stay
Tent - P200 + P100 for space rental
Also the common CR is available on the island and you need to pay P20 for bath use, P10 for a pee or discharge use.

The Canigao Island's power source is from a generator that is turned on at 6pm.
Aside
from having a blast on the natural wonders of the island and encounter hand in
hand with sea creatures you can as well make your tummy full with freshly
caught sea foods.
You can as well shop for souvenirs if you're fond of collecting items from your trip or give it as a "pasalubong".
All in all it was such a wonderful trip on Canigao Island. Actually, I want to be back in this small island together with Vince and hubby.
Have a
happy trip!

I would prefer to stay in the room even though the rate is much higher. I experienced sleeping inside the tent about three times and did not like the hard surface. My back hurt the next morning.
I am jealous. I really wanna go island hopping this summer. Hopefully, I would be able an island like this in #summer2015.
The tree house is so cool! I've always wanted one. This looks like a nice place to visit, maybe I'll go backpacking there some day.
A night in an island like this is surely a great experience. Hopefully we can do some island getaway this summer.
A hidden paradise. Just perfect for lovers.
Very affordable rates and a good way to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life.
I love to go outing, to do outdoor camping for I am used to this kind of activity as what we did often as a scouter. There's fun in sleeping outside. I love adventure, going around to enjoy what nature has to offer.
This is a really affordable vacation spot for the family. They also have nice accommodation.
I've been here many years ago, that was 1997. In this place is not like this, now it has many cottages, already have a CR, etc...by the way my father is from Matalom, Leyte. And planning to go back this May 2015 for the Feast of Santa Felomina, the patron saint of Matalom, Leyte.
never heard of this spot! in fairness, the rates are all very affordable and you can even camp! :D thanks for sharing!
That looks like an amazing place to visit. I love the beach.

This looks absolutely stunning. I would love to visit (and maybe stay?) an uninhabited island!
The seas shells in the Philippines are the best anywhere! They have these little brown shells called choco sticks that I want to go on vacation to buy or find in person!
This looks beautiful. I'm in need of a vacation!
SAAAA-WEET! I think it's gorgeous there, never been...but hope to one day. Although I'd probably get a room ;)
