Discover the Paradise of Virgin Island Sand Bar

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from anywhere in Panglao Island, head towards the main road that connects to the famous Alona Beach area. From Alona Beach, follow the signs towards the Tagbilaran City route. Continue along the road until you reach the junction for the Panglao Island Circumferential Road. Follow this road until it leads you to the port area, where you will need to park your car. Parking fees may apply, which typically range from PHP 20-50 depending on the duration of your stay.

• Public Transportation (Tricycle)

  From your location in Panglao Island, take a tricycle to the nearest port, which is usually located in Barangay Bolod or the Alona Beach area. The fare is usually around PHP 20-30 per person. Make sure to tell the driver you are going to Virgin Island Sand Bar. Once you reach the port, you will need to hire a boat to take you to Virgin Island, which can cost around PHP 1,500-2,500, depending on the size of the boat and whether you are sharing it with other guests. The boat ride typically takes about 30-45 minutes.

• Boat Transfer

  Once at the port, arrange for a boat transfer to Virgin Island Sand Bar. If you haven’t pre-booked a boat, you can find many local boat operators available at the port. Confirm the cost and duration of the journey before boarding. It is advisable to negotiate the price in advance. Be aware that during peak seasons, it is beneficial to book your boat in advance to avoid long waiting times.
