PANIKIAN ISLAND, PITOGO, WHITE SAND BEACH, ZAMBOANGA DEL SUR

Panikian Island is located in the southernmost tip of Zamboanga del Sur. This beautiful island is uninhabited by people and is untainted by human hands. Unique rock formations around the beaches and crystal clear waters create a stunning image that can only be described as heavenly. The waters of Panikian Island resemble a large iridescent gem that changes color depending on how the surface is illuminated. It is truly one fascinating sight to behold.

Boatride to Panikian island is about 30-40 minutes.


Remember:
The island is as pristine as you can imagine. No potable water, toilet, etc so prepare to rough it out. There is reception though for both Smart and Globe cellulars.

the 3- hectare expanse of the island is lush with greenery. "balite" trees abound in the area, old trees preserved through time, thick vines reminiscent of the days of "tarzan" jumping from one tree to another in the forest.
