San Pablo Island, Hinunangan, Southern Leyte


SAN PABLO ISLAND, HINUNANGAN, SOUTHERN LEYTE πŸ“Œ

Just 15 minutes off the coast of Hinunangan, Southern Leyte, this island is part of a twin set of islands, with the other equally beautiful, #SanPedroIsland (guide here: https://tinyurl.com/pongdaku). This little escape offers a white sand or coral beach experience, turquoise and crystal clear waters, and rich marine biodiversity for scuba diving, among other things. 

 HOW TO GET THERE πŸš©

From Tacloban City 

🚐From Tacloban City Bus Terminal, look for southbound vans or buses traveling to St. Bernard, Southern Leyte. Ensure that it is passing through the town of Silago, because some St. Bernard-bound PUVs traverses Sogod town, which is a long way around. Ask to be dropped off at Brgy. Canipaan, Hinunganan, Southern Leyte, at the jump-off point to San Pablo and San Pedro Islands. Travel time from Tacloban takes around 2 hours.

From Canipaan Jump-off Point 

The pump boat ride to San Pablo Island takes around 10-15 minutes from the shores of Canipaan. You can rent a whole boat service which is a round-trip, price ranges from Php1,000.00-1,500.00 depending on your haggling skills. You can also take a one-way trip at only Php20.00-30.00, but this works like any other public transport, meaning you'll have to wait until it gets full to leave.

I also have a "suki" that you may contact; Angelo Zoilo (+639058242330), "sukis" come in handy because you can contact them before you plan your trip.


WHAT TO DO THERE πŸš©
  • GO SWIMMING, the greenish blue hue of the crystal clear waters in the island will surely entice you to jump off the boat immediately! πŸ’¦
  • RELAX & ENJOY THE VIEW, take a selfie or a groufie, and appreciate God's wonderful creations. πŸ“·
  • SEAFOOD, whether you brought your own or just bought the freshest of fish from the islanders, beach will always be equals seafood! πŸŸ
  • SCUBA DIVING, San Pablo Island's reef is so rich you'd be amazed, you can see crabs, colorful fish like clownfish, starfish, corals, and even small sharks! πŸ πŸ¦€
  • SKIM BOARDING, at the pacific side, a good ratio of fine white sand and medium sized waves await the skim boarder in you. πŸŒŠ
  • GO CAMPING, no island adventure is ever so complete without spending a night there, pitch a tent and explore the island! πŸŒž
