Kalanggaman Island is one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines. The water so clear and blue, the sands so white like powder.
This isle is in Palompon, Leyte, Philippines. It looks like a smaller version of Boracay Island. What is unique about it is its magnificent sandbars,
both stretching at the end of the island. Unlike other beach resorts,
this island is not always crowded. When you get here, you’ll feel like
you’re a castaway in a beautiful way because the island will be your
home for the day and you can do everything you want including swimming in its crystal blue beach, snorkeling to see its majestic underwater gems, kayaking and many more.
Once you’re in Palompon, go to Palompon Liberty Park and pay the necessary fees for the Kalanggaman EcoTour. You can ride a bike called Potpot
to go to Liberty Park. It only costs P3 per person. Boat ride from this
point to Kalanggaman Island takes about an hour for regular boats and
35 minutes for speed boats.
There are buses in Manila going directly to Palompon, Leyte. This trip
will take about 24 hours to reach your destination. It’s takes longer
but it’s cheaper (around P1700 per person) and you will be able to see
amazing view along the journey as you will pass many places like Laguna,
Naga, Samar, and the like.
Since the weather in the Philippines is always sunny, you can go to this island any day except when there are typhoons. The months of July to September are usually rainy months and typhoons come within these dates.
