About Lahos Island

The Lahos island is one of the prominent islets of the Caramoan Group of Islands because of its amazing rock formation, fine white sand beaches, and crystal clear waters. From the top view, it appears like two boulders on the water linked by the white sand. Don't mind the dried seaweed because we visited this stunning island after or while Typhoon Marce was still inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, so the water wasn't calm, but we owned the island during our visit.

How to Get to Boracay Island

A Commuting Tip

Upon arrival in Kalibo, instead of booking private transport, I asked the guards about the public utility vehicles to the Jetty Port.
