If you haven’t discovered Calaguas Island then you’re surely missing out. It has the bluest water and whitest fine sand that makes it perfect for a family vacation.
Our family made a trip to the secluded island for a 3 day 2Â night stay with Calaguas iAdventure. The seclusion of the island makes it so that there is no cellphone signal. You must be thinking “What?!” Well, it was a welcome break from social media and work. Don’t worry though if you absolutely must connect to the internet you can go trekking to one of the highest points and get a signal.
So what can you do while on Calaguas Island? Plenty! First and foremost you can take in the beautiful view of the ocean. Have a sit on the sand (when it’s not hot!) and have a quiet moment where most probably you’ll say a silent thank you for your life at that moment (which I did).
Here are some more things you can do on this beautiful island.
Build Sandcastles
We brought along some sand castle making toys as we were anticipating finally getting the chance to make one. My sand crafting skills are pretty rusty and we weren’t really able to make anything grand however, Bastian and Kianna attempted to make their own castles early in the morning on the 2nd day.
Dive for Seashells
Well, not exactly diving but you can go underwater by the shore and already collect a few seashells. Of course you need to throw it back in the ocean to continue to preserve it. Bastian seemed to do this for hours.
Kayaking
If you want to go kayaking you can just ask the friendly staff of Calaguas iAdventure to borrow a kayak. The kayaks can also be found on the beach so you can just as easily borrow one.
Volleyball
You can get some sports in with the volleyball net available on the beach.
Trekking
As part of the trip itinerary you can go trekking and take in the magnificent view that Calagaus Island has to offer. Kianna went trekking and took some amazing pictures. This is where you’ll get that signal I was talking about.
Island Hopping
Also part of the itinerary is island hopping to a nearby semi beach semi rock formation. The rocks are deadly. Not kidding! We climbed it and all I could think was “We’re going to fall and hit our heads on the rocks.” Stay safe and climb the hill instead where you’ll get another amazing view.
Summer’s not over yet so plan a trip to this beautiful island while it’s still non commercialized! You won’t regret it! Make your trip even smoother with the wonderful tour guide Calaguas iAdventure headed by Mark and Sheila Ramirez.

Ganda! I’ve heard so many good things from friends who have been to the area that I wish to visit one day. 🙂
Calaguas is the best beach ever according to my traveler friends. I am hoping to pay a visit to the wonderful island one of these days to come or when my son’s already a kid. Plus, it’s just very near to our province – we’re from Paracale! Hihi. I am excited to visit Calaguas with my cousins. We’ll maybe play volleyball in the white sands. It’s gonna be such a fun activity with them! 😀
Wow! I never thought Calaguas Island would be that good! Love the photos! The place would sure give the people peace and relaxation since it’s not yet commercialized! And I think having no signal would be fine, break from social media and all! 😉
Looks like a awesome place for sun and sand! Ihope to visit this island one day.Great photos!
I’m sure is missing out on Calaguas! Someday.. Someday.. Hahaha!
Been hearing good things about this island. So pretty palatalaga! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Definitely my boys and I are missing something. We havent been to Calaguas and we need to try the bluest water and the finest sand. I hope my husband’s schedule would be friendlier.
I love doing all these things whenever we go to a beach. Hope we get to go soon before the summer is over. 🙂
Wow ang ganda and you looks having so much fun! The environment looks so beautiful and very relaxing…
Ganda! I hope we can visit here someday.
Been hearing about Calaguas and the beauty of its island from friends. Looking at your photos, I have to agree that the beach is amazingly blessed with pristine white sand, clear waters, the cove and the mountain. I can”t wait to fix my family schedule and include this in our out of town bucket list!
The place looks so serene and inviting! Would definitely plan a getaway when bunny is a bit bigger na siguro. She’s a bit afraid pa of sands eh haha
Oooh, my kids would love building sandcastles and looking for seashells! 🙂 I hope to be able to go there too with the kids. They sure love the beach!
Gorgeous! I went on a houseboat trip in Tennessee a few years ago, and we had not cell phone or internet service. It was glorious.
I would love to visit Caluguas Island! I am looking most forward to the kayaking and trekking! Looks like a great place for a family vacation! Thanks for sharing!
Great pictures !! I have kayaking on my list …who knows, maybe someday
I need to visit this place one day! 😉
Oh, beautiful photos! Looks like really nice place! 😉
Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Great blog and great post. The photos were amazing. I dont know why but looking at those half built houses gives me a crazy idea of camping in them 😛
I used to love looking for seashells when I was younger by the beach and of course making sandcastles was always a high priority!
What a lovely escape you’ve had. It’s so picturesque and dreamy. The views are amazing 🙂
I would have to do some kayaking before. Spending some time trekking would be really nice too!
Never heard of this island before, but when I think of “The Beach” I think of Bill Hicks. Are you a fan?
Hi Brian, Sorry, I’m not familiar with Bill Hicks. 🙂
How fine is the sand on that island, it’s really lovely and it’s not as tough on the feet as most beaches are. The view is breathtaking as well and it’s good to know that there are so many things that you can do there!
I love kayaking!! One of my fav things to do! Plus fantastic photos! looks like last of fun!
great to see that Calaguas is still stuning! We did enjoy the kayaking and trekking there. 🙂 NExt time, we’ll alos build sand castles. 🙂 Hehe
This looks so great! I love the beach, and kayaking is so much fun to do!
The scenery looks really nice and I love the seashells they are so gorgeous
Great beach! Can’t wait to go there, but not for now…maybe someday…
It`s nice to remember my own time when I was younger and I would also try to make sand castles in the beach. I`ve never done kayaking before but I want to try it.
When I was at the bottom of your post, I was getting the vibe that you were talking about Philippines. Then I saw the Globe and Smart phone numbers. Is this island in the Philippines? Seriously? Thank you for sharing!
With Love, Kathryn (from http://www.TheGracefulMist.com)
Hi, yes it’s in the Philippines. 🙂
I absolutely love kayaking. Havent been for years and years since I was in school! xxx
This could be our family’s next travel vacation! thank you for sharing your itinerary and lovely family travel photos 🙂
