Bantayan Island, Philippines
In the middle of the Philippines, lies the impressive and alive island of Bantayan Island. The island boasts one of the clearest waters and finest white sand I have seen. It is home to one of the oldest parish Church in the country. It is also famous for the skydiving experience and parties in Sta. Fe beach.There are a lot of ways to go to the island. You can go there from Cebu, Negros, and Panay island via a ferry boat. In this post I will show you my itinerary via Negros since I will be coming from Bacolod City.
So without further ado, here is my overnight itinerary in the famous Bantayan Island.
