Carnaza Island

Carnaza Island

A newly opened paradise located in the north of Cebu, Philippines. It is a part of Daan Bantayan, Cebu.

This island used to be private and off limits to tourist and we are thankful it is now open to the public.

An Island with Wonders which captured my heart. A place where you can relax and the best place for those who are soul searching. Enjoy this island for just a thousand!

 

How to get there

1. From Cebu City, go to North Bus Terminal, just ask the conductor which bus goes to Tapilon Port, Daan Bantayan for Carnaza Island(Fare for Non-Aircon Bus: Php192)

2. From Tapilon Port, ride a bangka(Regular Season: Php150. Peak Season: Php200. Exclusive Bangka for 10: P3,500).
For those taking exclusive like what we did, they will charge you Php3500 but try to haggle the price to lower it.

3. Tell the boatmen to drop you in Carnaza Eco Park. If ever you will be dropped in the town of Carnaza Island, just take a Habal-Habal to bring you to Carnaza Eco Park.
