Bantigui Island

Carles, Philippines, Philippines

Bantigue Island, also known as Bantigui Island, is a small, uninhabited island in the Islas de Gigantes archipelago, part of Carles municipality in Iloilo Province, Philippines.

Located in the Visayan Sea about 18 kilometers northeast of Panay Island's coast, it features a stunning long white sandbar that emerges at low tide, surrounded by shallow emerald waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The island has powdery white sands, impressive rock formations, and a tiny fishing community with a few huts and moored boats.

It's a popular stop on island-hopping tours from Gigantes Norte or Sur, often serving as a lunch spot where visitors enjoy fresh, affordable seafood like scallops from local vendors. To reach it, travel by van or bus to Carles from Iloilo City (about 3-5 hours), then take a motorized boat; the dry season from March to May offers the best conditions for visiting.
