Last April 9, my family and I visited CANIGAO ISLAND PARADISE at Matalom, Leyte.
It's been a few years since we last went there and I've noticed quite a lot of changes.
1. They now have a BANANA BOAT which you can ride for P200/person. Definitely adds more fun to your island experience!🤩🚤
2. Their local market now offers more products. Aside from the junk foods, drinks, and souvenirs, they now have the following:
☑️FRESH SEAFOODS (fishes, clams, etc.) 🐟🦑🦐🦀
☑️TENT RENTALS⛺️
☑️SHORT ORDERS OF VIAND SUCH AS SISIG AND PANCIT!🍝🍛
And a lot more!
3. I saw a lot more COTTAGES which you can rent for your stay. There are two-story cottages where the first floor is an open area for daytime and the second floor is where you can sleep.
And yet with all of these improvements and modernizations, the island remains naturally beautiful and calming.
Though there were a lot of people when we went there, as it was a holiday, we were still able to find a quiet and peaceful place for us to stay. The island is big and so you don't have to fear about having to stay close to people you don't know.😄 You can remain socially-distanced at most times.😉
BASIC INFORMATION
🚣♀️ BOAT FARE: around P120 back and forth
(depends on how much the boat charges. Our charges P2,500 for 24 pax and we divided the amount with the other tourists who took the same boat with us)
