Snake Island (Vigan Island)
Vigan Island
At low tide a winding white-sand bar emerges that looks like a snake. The view from the hilltop lookout is the most spectacular, and it is the main highlight of Island Hopping Tour B.
Snake Island, also known as Vigan Island, shows an S-shaped sandbar stretching from the island to the opposite shore at low tide, with shallow and deep water in strikingly different colors on either side. A simple trail climbs a small hill to a viewpoint. In about 10 minutes you can look down on the whole snake-shaped sandbar and the southern islands of Bacuit Bay. It is part of Island Hopping Tour B (tour fee about ₱1300–1500 per person), which also includes Kadukgong Cave and Cathedral Cave. Whether the full sandbar is visible depends on the tide.
