Snorkel Around the Island’s Coral Gardens
Venture into the waters with your snorkeling gear and discover a thriving underwater world filled with corals, tropical fish, and sea plants. While not as commercialized as other dive sites, Aguirangan offers raw, beautiful marine life for beginner and casual snorkelers.

Have a Beachside Boodle Fight Feast
What better way to enjoy island life than with a Filipino-style boodle fight? Spread banana leaves, pile on grilled seafood, rice, fruits, and veggies, and eat with your hands while enjoying the sea breeze. Local boatmen or tour guides often offer this experience upon request.

Capture Stunning Island Photography

Chill in a Hammock Under the Trees
