About this tour

Libjo is the route most people come to the Dinagat Islands for — the Kisses Islets and the sheltered Blue Lagoon, the white sand at Pangabangan, the Hagakhak rock formations, and Jelmars Islet Resort. This is that route with the boat chartered to your group alone.

The Libjo run is longer than the Basilisa one, which is the whole reason it costs more: the boat is the cost, and on a charter your group carries it rather than splitting it with strangers. Two guests pay for the same boat that ten would, so the per-person rate falls steeply as the group grows.

If the charter rate is more than you want to spend as a couple, book the Libjo joiner instead — same route, same boat, and we pool you with other travellers.

Highlights

  • The boat is yours — no other guests on board
  • Sails on the date you choose
  • The Kisses Islets and the sheltered Blue Lagoon
  • Pangabangan Beach, Hagakhak rock formations and Jelmars Islet Resort

Weather & safety
Sea legs operate only with Philippine Coast Guard clearance. If sailing is suspended, guests are offered a transfer to the inland heritage circuit, a reschedule, or a refund of the sea portion. The Hagakhak leg in particular can come off the route during the habagat — we will tell you honestly what your date allows.
Booking & cancellation
A 50% deposit confirms your booking; the balance is due at least two days before your tour date. Deposits are non-refundable, but your slot is transferable to another person. Island-hopping joiners can be booked from a single seat: we pool you with other travellers and the boat sails once ten seats are taken, and if your date does not fill you may move to another date or take a full refund. Sunset combos and land tours run at their published minimum group size — below it you may book the shuttle separately, move to another date, or take a full refund.
Accessibility & fitness
Please advise us in advance of any medical condition, mobility limitation, or pregnancy. Viewing decks involve short walks on uneven ground and are not wheelchair accessible. This is a full day on and off a boat, boarding from the beach.
Children
Children aged 5–10 pay 50% of the adult rate. Children under 5 travel free, without a separate seat or set meal.
