Cathedral Cave (Pinagbuyutan)
Cathedral Cave
A giant sea cave in the limestone cliffs of Pinagbuyutan Island, with a towering vaulted ceiling like a church dome. A highlight of Island Hopping Tour B.
Cathedral Cave lies in the limestone cliffs near Pinagbuyutan Island in southern Bacuit Bay. The huge sea cave is several dozen meters high, and sunlight slants in through the entrance, resembling the nave of a Gothic cathedral. Visitors usually admire it from the boat or by paddling into the entrance. They do not go ashore, so the stop is brief. It is part of Island Hopping Tour B, and when sea conditions are rough, visitors may only view it from a distance.
