Ticao Island is a slice of paradise for those seeking tranquility and raw natural beauty. The beaches are pristine, the waters incredibly clear, and the sunsets absolutely breathtaking. We loved the feeling of being away from it all, surrounded by lush landscapes and the gentle sound of the waves. It’s the perfect place to disconnect, read a book, swim in turquoise waters, and simply recharge your soul. The island maintains an untouched charm that’s increasingly rare. If you need a genuine escape to relax and appreciate nature's artistry, Ticao Island is an unforgettable destination. Truly a hidden gem!

For marine life enthusiasts, Ticao Island is spectacular! Our main goal was diving Manta Bowl, and it was an epic experience seeing the majestic manta rays. The sheer size and grace of these creatures are awe-inspiring. Beyond the mantas, the surrounding reefs are vibrant and full of diverse marine species. Snorkeling at Halea Nature Park was fantastic too – healthy corals, schools of colourful fish, and even sea turtles. The boat tours were great, and the guides knew exactly where to find the best underwater sights. Ticao is undoubtedly a top-tier destination in the Philippines for diving and snorkeling adventures.

We fell in love with Ticao Island's authentic charm and the warmth of its people. Renting a motorbike allowed us to explore beyond the resorts, discovering quaint villages, scenic viewpoints like the old lighthouse, and interacting with friendly locals. Enjoying fresh seafood and local dishes was a daily highlight. It’s not overly developed, offering a glimpse into genuine Filipino island life. Watching the fishing boats, chatting with residents, and soaking in the unhurried pace was incredibly refreshing. If you're looking for beautiful scenery combined with an authentic, welcoming local experience, Ticao Island delivers wonderfully.
