| Aliguay Island view from the plane |
The trip going to Aliguay Island was not in my itinerary. Since I was in Dipolog, I decided to join a group of local tourist for this adventure.
We left Dipolog for Dapitan as early as 6:00 am through a hired van transfer to/from Sicayab Port. We arrived at the Port at around 7:30 am. Aside from us there are other groups boarded the Sepertina.
Aliguay Island is small Island that is part of Dapitan. It will take you an hour boat ride from the Dapitan Fish Port. The sea weren’t so friendly that day. It's a bit wavy and the trip was bumpy. It took us 45 minutes to reached the island.
As we approached Aliguay Island the sun was shining bright and the skies clears out. And, I thank God for the splendid sight, the crystal blue waters and the prestine beach. You can go on snorkeling and hire gadgets through your guide. Rates for gadgets is from Php 200 -300 and boat rental is Php 700 - Php 800. It is negotiable.
Aliguay Island is less crowded, less explored, and less commercialized island paradise. There were no hotels yet, Just vacation/pension houses for you to rent or you can put up your own tent like in Anawangin ( If you plan to stay overnight). Our guide told us that the Ranillo's have a rest house in the island. Locals are selling fresh and dried fish to visitors (if you want to cook), and there are few Sari-sari store seen.
After snorkeling, we went back to the island for lunch.
Luckily, lunch is included in the Island Tour Package. Again, we toured the island riding a golf cart. Rate is Php 50/hour.
After all these activities, we headed back to the Sicayab port. We reached Dipolog by 6:30 pm and I join them for dinner at Cusina ni Binoy's and enjoyed the night away with my new friends.
Check some of my photos taken from this beautiful island.
