“ISLAND IS TRULY A THERAPY”

Are you stressed about your overloaded work or your environment? This is your sign to get refreshing air, forget your problems, have some fun, and go to Virgin Island, Bohol!

Pungtud Island, also known as Virgin Island, is located in the middle of a somewhat shallow area between the Balicasag and Panglao Islands in the Bohol area. Due to its C-shaped bare sandbar that had been engulfed by the warm sea is always the crowd favorite. There isn't much to do here, unlike on Balicasag Island, besides sunbathing. But one thing we suggest you enjoy doing here is sitting or lying in the sand with your body half-submerged in the shallow sea. Also, the island is ringed by seagrass where there isn't much room to swim around. Yet, it is safe to snorkel because some fish are hiding beneath the surface. However, it may disappoint those who have just arrived from Balicasa.

The "relaxing" segment of the journey is on Virgin Island. You know the kind of place where you don't put in much effort to appreciate the natural beauty. You simply lounge in the sand, splash around in the water, sip fresh "buko" or coconut juice, tell stories to family and friends, and have a pure, soothing, and enjoyable time. We also enjoyed pretending to be a member of Aang's entourage and attempting sand-bending.

How to get there. There is only one way to get to the Virgin Island. You'll have to go to Alona Beach on Panglao Island (Panglao Island and Bohol Island are connected through two bridges) and book your tour from one of the tour agencies there.
