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.

I was able  to walk  around  it for 3 hours  including sightseeing,  swimming, picture taking and resting. The island became famous to travelers for its floating bar called, Tawhai. Tawhai Floating Bar According to a true bloom Ilonggo, Ms. Nenette Gumabon Castillon ​,  the word TAWHAI means "calm and to relax."   Tawhai floating bar really suits its name and served its purpose for being a place where you can lounge around to relax while floating in the calm waters of Lakawon.
