Trip to Olango Island, a budget friendly adventure!

IMG_5283.JPG

Olang Island is one of the most silent island place I've traveled/visited and it is my first time to travel with my friends/classmates in this silent Island, part of Lapu-Lapu City addressed as Olango Island, Lapu-Lapu City headed toward South East of Cebu Province.

Olango Island and its neighboring islets has a total land area of approximately 1,030 ha (2,500 acres). The island group is divided under the jurisdiction of the city of Lapu-Lapu and the municipality of Cordova. It lies 5 km (3.1 mi) east of Mactan Island and is a major tourist destination in Cebu.[3] It is known for its wildlife sanctuary. The entire area is the first declared Ramsar Wetland Site in the Philippines, as recognized in 1994.

If you're a foreign tourist and want to travel in this island, here's a 38 minute traveling time direction for you to be guided. From Mactan International Airport to Hilton Port. Based on Google Map.

So Let's Begin!

I'm from a North Bound place in Cebu. On March 24, 2018, Saturday at 7:26 AM in the morning I meet my classmate/friend also from North Bound place, we're just the same place, meet at JMALL Centre Jeepney Terminal and waited my co-classmates to gather for a group travel in one, so me and my classmate/friend (who was the first then i'm the second who came) waited like 1 hour and half for the 2 remaining classmates and start traveling at 9:02 AM by riding a Jeepney direct to Punta Engaño and dropped at Movenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu.

Photos shown below.
