Caramoan Islands

Caramoan: Bicol’s Emerging Paradise

The Caramoan Islands comprise a collection of islands located on the northeastern shore of the Caramoan peninsula, celebrated for their breathtaking scenery and untouched nature.

This group of islands presents a remarkable array of hidden gems, renowned for their immaculate beaches, towering limestone cliffs, and lively marine ecosystems, making them a perfect haven for thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts.

The islands can be discovered through island-hopping tours that feature stops at several locations such as Matukad, Lahos, Cotivas, and Hunongan—each boasting soft white sands, distinctive rock formations, and crystal-clear waters rich with marine life, making them ideal for snorkeling, picnicking, and peaceful exploration.

Caramoan’s serene coastal waters are perfect for paddling around coves and venturing into secluded inlets. The dramatic limestone cliffs beckon adventure enthusiasts to climb and trek for breathtaking views of the islands.

For those seeking more excitement, trekking through jungle-lined paths to reach lesser-known beaches or caves like Caglago Mountain is a must, where a giant statue of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary watches over the islands. While exploring Caramoan’s pristine forests and mangroves, one may even encounter exotic birds and other local wildlife.

In contrast to more commercialized tourist hotspots like Boracay and Palawan, Caramoan remains a less developed destination, making it an ideal choice for those in search of peace and simple natural splendor.
