Read this post if you want to travel to Leyte and visit this island and its wonderful beach. Know the helpful travel tips and affordable fees for your budget.

Where is Kalanggaman Island?

This isle is in Palompon, Leyte, Philippines. It looks like a smaller version of Boracay Island. What is unique about it is its magnificent sandbars, both stretching at the end of the island. Unlike other beach resorts, this island is not always crowded.

How to go to Kalanggaman Island?

Via Air:

First you need to go to Palompon, Leyte. You can go to Palompon, Leyte via Tacloban Airport or Cebu Airport (a.k.a. Mactan International Airport). See the details below.

How to go to Kalanggaman from Tacloban Airport?

Ride a van going to Palompon. Trip takes about 4 hours. Once you reached Palompon, go to the Liberty Park and book for your Kalanggaman Tour. There are different tour packages available for tourists.

How to go to Kalanggaman from Cebu Airport?

Ride a taxi to go to Pier 3. In pier 3, you can either ride a SuperCat (fast boat) going to Ormoc or a ship en route to Palompon. Supercat fare usually costs around P600 while ship ticket costs around P495. If you will choose SuperCat, it takes about 2 hours to reach Ormoc, then you need to ride a van going to Palompon which can cost you another P150. Ship travel from Cebu will take 4 hours to reach Palompon.

Once you’re in Palompon, go to Palompon Liberty Park and pay the necessary fees for the Kalanggaman EcoTour. You can ride a bike called Potpot to go to Liberty Park. It only costs P3 per person. Boat ride from this point to Kalanggaman Island takes about an hour for regular boats and 35 minutes for speed boats.

Via Land Trip:

There are buses in Manila going directly to Palompon, Leyte. This trip will take about 24 hours to reach your destination. It’s takes longer but it’s cheaper (around P1700 per person) and you will be able to see amazing view along the journey as you will pass many places like Laguna, Naga, Samar, and the like.

When is the best time to go to Kalanggaman Island?

Since the weather in the Philippines is always sunny, you can go to this island any day except when there are typhoons. The months of July to September are usually rainy months and typhoons come within these dates.

My experience visiting Kalanggaman Island is unforgettable because it was my first time to sleep in a virgin island with only the moon and the stars as our lights for the night. Yes, there is no electricity in the island so your source of light comes from the heavens above.

I had to bring my power bank as an alternative charger for my cameras and phones. The coast guard station in the island has solar power equipment and they are also kind to help anyone in need to charge a phone.

Kalanggaman Island Travel Tips

Book your trip and make a reservations early for the EcoTour which includes a trip for the Sanctuary island (with lighthouse) and Kalanggaman island. Only limited people per day are allowed in the island so there are bookings required. Follow our Facebook page, if you want booking assistance.

It’s safe to start your boat trip as early as 6am because the ocean is calm. Dolphins are also visible during this hour.

How long will it take from Liberty Park to Kalanggaman island?

For regular boat, it takes about an hour while it takes about 35 minutes for speed boat to reach the islet as mentioned. Bring your shades and sunglasses with you because it’s very bright and sunny.

If you want to spend the night there and leave the next day, you can. Just tell the staff at Liberty Park or your boat service. Make sure you bring enough foods and blanket. There are available beds for you to sleep in. If you have sleeping bags or tents, that will be better too. There are no mosquitoes in the island so you can sleep safe and sound.

Kalanggaman Island Booking Assistance

A lady from Palompon helped my accommodation and booking for this wonderful tour. She is very helpful and honest. You can contact her on the following number: 0906-975-3053. Her name is Mae Dungo. Tell her I referred you and you’ll be assisted by a local tour guide.

      Good day! this is louie from cebuislandexplorers, easiest way would be from bogo city to kalanggaman, you can rent a boat @ around 9,000-9,500 pesos depending on the headcount your team has. If you’re not planning to have an overnight in the island, you can rent a cottage.

      you can drop by on our website ” cebuislandexplorers.simplesite.com

      Good day! from bogo city to kalanggaman island would take like an average of 2 hours depending on the water condition. if the sea is a bit rough it would take 2.5 hours. there’s no plane ride.

  132. Kalanggaman is probably one of the best islands/beaches I’ve experienced so far. It was another awe and jaw-dropping moment for me. LOL!

    The pristine beach, the crystal clear water and white sand, plus the sandbars – beautiful!

    Also had the chance to talk to some locals and the LGU officers, and they are really doing a great job at protecting Kalanggaman.

    I hope we all learn from them, finding the right balance of tourism and conservation. Kudos to the LGU of Palompon and DOT.

    • Yes, the boat service won’t leave the island unless you leave 🙂 It will be your private boat the whole trip (overnight or day tour)

  148. Hi, your post about kalanggaman is super nice. I am planning to travel there by myself this May, about the boat going to Kalanggaman island you mentioned that the boats starts at 3000 php, do they also cater people who travel solo and just charge by head? I can’t pay 3,000 by myself just to go to that island…

    Reply
  149. Hello. Anyone here going to Kalanggaman Island on May 31, 2015? Can I join or can we make a group so that the cost of PhP3,000.00/boat for a group of 15 (not really sure) RT can be maximized and split? Thanks peeps 🙂

    Reply
    • There are many solo travelers. Some people prefer going there solo especially foreigners. Make sure you have enough water and food for you. You are also allowed to use a tent. Cost of boat starts at 3,000 for roundtrip service. The only pricey here is the boat service because the island is about an hour away from Palompon.

      • “Once you’re in Palompon, go to Palompon Liberty Park and pay the necessary fees for the Kalanggaman EcoTour. ” what fees and how much?

          • Pwede naman solo nyo ang boat but you need to pay for it. If you want na may kasabay, ok din. You have to book in advance to be sure may available boat pa for your travel

  154. One can hop to Malapascua too from Bogo, that is, if your budget and time allows it, before proceeding to Kalanggaman. Truly an adventure! 🙂

    • Are you from Cebu? Wanting to go back there this summer. Can I hop to Malapascua from Bantayan Island? If yes, how many hours will it take?

      Reply
  155. I have an alternative route for you if you’re from Cebu. Take a boat via Bogo City to Palompon then from Palompon to Kalanggaman. You’ll save time and money. 🙂

  156. Hi Fehl,

    The pier for supercat just might be outdated. A friend of mine told me it’s on pier 1 not pier 3. Maybe better add a date to this article as I was under the impression this was written recently.

    Helpful article, BTW!

    Cheers,
