NOGAS ISLAND

By
Nogas Island is a government naval reservation in Antique Province. It can be accessed by sailboat or motorboat within 20mins from the shorelines of Anini-y town proper.
The island has no community, therefore, no electricity and water supply.
 
Calachuchi tunnel leading to Nogas Island Lighthouse.
Behind the Lighthouse into the woods, you will find a Century Old Balete tree.
 
I always find Balete trees beautiful with all its roots, vines and branches gnarling at each other giving it its mystical look.
They seem to be portals to another dimensions making it a perfect setting for many horror stories.
The island has thick and vast mangroves.
These mangroves largely surrounds the whole island.
The beach is white but the sand is not as fine. Mostly made of broken corals.
The other part of the beach are made of sharp rocks.
HOW I GOT THERE:
  • From Iloilo Airport, take a van to SM City.
  • In SM City, take a jeepney to Molo Ceres Terminal.
  • In Molo Ceres Terminal, take a Ceres bus going to DAO.
  • Drop off at Sira-an Hot Spring Resort in the Municipality of Anini-y, Antique
 
Register at Sira-an Hot Spring Resort and pay 20php for environmental fee.
Infinity Pool
Giant Slide

You can approach the front desk to request a boat to take you to Nogas Island.


The round trip boat costs 500php and can accommodate 8pax.
All tourists including the caretakers of the island should go back to the main land, Anini-y at 5pm. If you wish to spend the night and camp in the island after 5pm, a permit should be secured from the municipal office of Anini-y.
If you have enough time to spare, I suggest you wait for the sunset in Anini-y.
Witness as the sun sets behind Nogas Island.
I was blessed with a spectacular display of sky in pretty colors.
