The Unforgettable Sumilon Island

Four years ago, I fell in love with this tiny but breathtaking island off the coast of Southern Cebu. It was a 3-hour drive to the town of Oslob and a 5-minute boat ride from there to the glorious Sumilon Island. The white sand, the clear waters, the lush greenery --- it was the perfect getaway.

Since we found the overnight package too expensive, we took advantage of Sumilon Blue Water's day-package offer. Back then, it only cost us Php500 per person inclusive of the resort's sports, snorkeling and kayaking equipment, the boat ride to and from the island, plus a lunch buffet. Today, a similar package is said to cost Php1000/person, but for such a beautiful island as Sumilon, it would be more than worth it.
