Land Tours and Sightseeing on Romblon Island

Motorbike or Tricycle Tour around the island

A tour around the island can take anywhere from two hours to a full day, depending on how often you want to stop to explore, take photos, enjoy a meal, or swim at beaches and waterfalls. Much of the road follows the coastline, while the rest winds through forests, mountains, and small villages.

Bonbon Beach is a beautiful beach in the heart of Barangay Lonos. A long sandbar links the beach to the nearby island of Bangug, and at low tide you can walk all the way across.
