Iloilo's Gigantes Group of Islands is ready for its close-up

If I may: spending more than an hour of boat travel from Carles, Iloilo's Bancal Port to the magnificent Gigantes Group of Islands is totally worth it.

Located off the coast of Carles town, Gigantes Group of Islands aka Islas de Gigantes boasts of pristine, white sand beaches and sandbars.

Guests can stay in any of the handful of resorts scattered in the Islands, or like me, simply spend an entire day, island-hopping and enjoying the marvelous Gigantes.

I am not a water-baby but Gigantes Group of Islands is definitely a heaven of a place. The breathtaking views of this island makes me want to hold time and stay. — LA, GMA News
