Panglao Island
The island of
Panglao is famous for its fine, white sand beaches. The existence of
mangroves in some areas has made Panglao a protected area. The island
has two urban counties: Panglao and Dauis,
There are some
excursions which we would like to recommend. In Dauis there is to be
found a special place. The very large Hinagdanan Cave. It was
discovered, by chance, due to construction work that revealed a
geological showcase. It is s unique place for bathing.
The animal
farm, which has expanded constantly, is a really great excursion
destination. A miniature golf range, amidst the tropical terrain, has
been completed. For a small fee, the owners offer a transfer service.
Panglao has an annual festival "Hudyaka", in August, in celebration of our small
towns patron saint, San Augustin. The festival is a riot of
color with street dancing as well as dance competitions of the
individual communities. It is similar in style to the Sandugo
festival in Tagbilaran City but it is simpler and more provincial.
