I really enjoy visiting Uruy, even though i get tired in 4 hours of walking still i can't believe that in an hour of sacrificing there is a relief feeling that i can't explain when i touch Uruy. To touch one of the biggest flower in the world is one of my dreams fulfill. Until now i can still smell the odor and fresh relief of the environment, the sounds of birds and taste of Native Chicken Adobo with Alopidan leaves. Amazing experience!!!

Dali na!.. Biyahe ta..

Discover PARADISE in Carles Iloilo

YOU made the right move when you decided to visit Isla de Gigantes in Carles.

A shroud of concealment and mysticism seemingly looms over Isla Gigantes, group of islands off the coast of Carles and Estancia in Northern Iloilo. Most of the Ilonggos couldn't know about Gigantes Islands because they prepare to visit famous places like Boracay than to discover one of the pride and beauty of Iloilo. That’s because the nothern part of Iloilo is the least visited and only a few have dared to travel to those parts since it is not as accessible compared to the towns along the main highways of Panay Island. The few that have gone there like what I've experience, are rewarded with a surprising experience of witnessing beautiful sceneries of virgin islands, white sand beaches, colorful marine life, and extraordinary land formations, unchartered by the tourist crowd. Features delicious sampling of the freshest seafood and the hospitality that waited for you. People there have chosen to live on this haven.

They are simple but rich with native environment. They will capture your heart through there kindness and innocence.

Private, Perfect and Romantic place that awaits for you here.

Just imagine yourself like this..


I feel contended of what I've experience in this place. This place is perfect for relaxing and enjoying life together with the beach. Full of natural abundant and rich with Gods blessing. Most people who live there are so very hospitable.
 There are no resorts or hotels in some island. We spend the night in the island usually ask permission from one of the locals to spend the night in their house. There is electricity in the island that runs only at nighttime. To go on a boat tour around Isla Gigantes and visit nearby islands, you can also could rent fishing boats from the local boatmen.

Don't miss to visit Isla De Gigantes..
