Olango Island
Philippines, Philippines
Olango Island is a low-lying coral reef island group in Cebu, Philippines, located about 5 kilometers east of Mactan Island between the Cebu Strait and Camotes Sea, encompassing the main island and six smaller islets like Caohagan, Gilutongan, and Nalusuan for a total land area of around 1,030 hectares.
It forms a diverse coastal ecosystem with vast intertidal sandflats, mangroves, seagrass beds, fringing coral reefs, and the 920-hectare Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary, the Philippines' first Ramsar Wetland Site since 1994, serving as a key stopover for migratory birds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway.
Popular for birdwatching, island-hopping, snorkeling amid rich marine life, and quiet beaches, it's accessible by a short boat ride from Lapu-Lapu City, blending natural conservation with eco-tourism in a flat landscape rising no higher than 10 meters above sea level.
