Bantayan Island is a small beautiful island but heaps of beautiful places to check with.
On our second day, we decide to have land tours. We contacted the tricycle driver who brings us to Kota Beach from the airport. He tours us in 4 places for a very affordable price of only 600.00 pesos.
Mangrove
This huge area of mangrove place is very cool. They built the platform pathway out of the bamboo tree. About 20 to 30 meters from the entrance there is a restaurant that you can dine in or buy some cold stuff to refresh. At the end of the platform, you do fish feeding. There is a woman who will greet you there and you can buy fish food for only 2.00 pesos.
Entrance Fee: 50.00 pesos only.
Paradise Beach
This beach is awesome and very private. After the mangrove tour, we drive about 12 minutes. And we walk about more or less 15 minutes in the middle of the bush with the easy and proper track to reach Paradise Beach. Before we see the ocean a guy nicely approached us and collect the entrance fee. After paying we continue walking and see the beach literally Paradise. It is white sand and no cottage. A guy put hang his hammock at the top of the big rock tied in between small tree branches. Some are enjoying swimming, sunbathing, and taking photos.
Tata the tricycle driver said to us that during summer season heaps of white foreigners pay a visit of this awesome beach to get some good natural tan from the sun.
Indeed, we truly appreciate this natural beauty of our nature.
Entrance Fee: 50.00
Ruins
After the two nature tour we drive to the 3rd stop they call it “Ruins”. There is a sad story of this concrete house that’s they call it ‘ruins’.
Ogtong Cave
Then we had a quick visit to Ogtong Cave Resort. There is an entrance fee of 120.00pesos and you can access their public pool, the beach, and the cave. My husband and brother-in-law had a quick refreshing deep at the cave. The water is so clear and fresh.

Before we head back to our accommodation at Kota Beach we had pizza lunch first with our driver at MJ Square where you can find all the restaurants of the place.
