PARADISE, THE PHILIPPINES - [ S1 - EP 4 Cebu to Bantayan Island ] PART1 - 4K 

In this episode, we are going to travel to Bantayan Island. Bantayan Island is an island located in the Visayan Sea, Philippines. It is situated to the west of the northern end of Cebu, across the Tañon Strait. It is the main and largest island of the Bantayan island group that lies close to the geographical center of the Philippine archipelago.
Bantayan Island in Cebu got its name from the term Bantayan sa Hari, which means "Watchtowers of the King." Eighteen watchtowers were built here during the time of the 22nd Governor-General Sebastian Hurtado de Corcuera when Moro pirates raided the island looking for slaves.
The island is administratively divided into three municipalities:
Bantayan (the largest municipality, covering the central part)
Madridejos (covering the northern portion)
Santa Fe (center of tourism in Bantayan Island, covering the southeastern portion).
Aside from being a beach destination, Bantayan Island is also a fishing community, supplying fresh catch to towns and provinces as far as Manila and Mindanao. They’re famous for their danggit (dried fish).
Bantayan Island annually celebrates the colorful Palawod Festival usually on June 29 in honor of their patron saints, St. Peter and Paul. Palawod is a Cebuano word that means "to go out to the sea". Bantayan Island's Palawod Festival has street dancing with locals adorned in colorful costumes and lots of food.
You will enjoy Bantayan Island the most, during its dry season, usually from February to Mid-May, which also includes the summer season in the Philippines.
Idyllic beach trips, island-hopping, exciting water activities, and inland tours, to gastronomic seafood adventures await you in Bantayan Island.
I hope you enjoy the tour.
Lets go.
