Kalanggaman Day Trip
One of the Philippines' most photographed sandbars — worth every minute of the crossing.
Tour overview
What to expect
Kalanggaman Island is a postcard made real: a long white sandbar curving into water so clear you can see every grain of sand beneath it. Getting there takes a two-hour bangka ride from Palompon, Leyte — which is itself a ferry crossing from Bantayan. The journey is part of the experience.
We handle all the logistics. You arrive at the island with enough time to explore both sides of the sandbar, swim in the shallows, and have a proper lunch before the return trip. Group size is kept small so the crossing is comfortable and the island feels like your own.
