In Cagbalete Island, there is a little islet called Bonsai Island. It is because of the “bonsai-like” mangrove in
the center of the islet that disappears
during high tide.

Trekking to the island was quite a challenge because it’s tide is unpredictable on when the water will get high. Perfect time to
visit the place was from 1pm to 4 pm while the water is still low. Be prepared
for a long distance walk because the trek was quite tiring and the island was composed of dried corals and
rocks. The bonsai's in island were separate moss and grass filled small islets enduring the strong waves of the Pacific.

According to some locals that they believe that there was a giant evil shark
imprisoned there by a local engkantada and that the shark will someday break
free of that stone encasement . It is a nice island for people who has plenty of
time to idle around, rest and escape from the hassle and bustle of city life.
