The Island of Pamilacan lies on the deep blue waters of the Bohol Sea.  The island is considered as isolated yet to be discovered. The people living on the island are very friendly and approachable. You can interact with the locals who are inhabitants of the island. As amateurish demographics of the people living on the island, they are considered a little different from regular Filipino settlers from the island. Some local inhabitants on the island resemble the early Polynesian ancestors living on the island from the past. The inhabitants on the island are very humble and for that you can have a very down to earth interaction with them.

Everything on the island is very natural and unscathed by the commercial factors from the city in fact, most of the islands’ properties remain untouched and available for further developments. The island is also considered as an easy regional connection for the reason that travel access to neighbor islands like Siquijor, Camiguin and Cebu are very much easy if ever you want to go directly to some parts of the mentioned islands. Pamilacan Island has unique geological formation because even the big water mammals can be found on the deep sea between the town of Baclayon and the island itself.

Blue whales can be found underwater depending on the season because Pamilacan Island lies within the migrating route of whale and whale sharks and unlike Oslob Cebu City, we wait for them to arrive naturally and not capturing and holding them in captivity to preserve the young whale offspring’s living under the blue waters and on the migration route of the mammals. You can also meet Bottlenose whales sometimes depending on their migrating season. This whale family is one of the deepest diving mammals known, reaching depths of 1453 m (4767 ft) and can be seen seasonally on the island. According to Wikipedia.org, despite being deep diving beaked whales, they are known to come, play, and rest in shallow waters in small numbers. They are very playful and curious towards human vessels making them relatively easy targets for whale hunters. Northern bottlenose feed mainly on squid and fish, feeding deep near the sea floor; they are capable of diving for an hour or more. Various numbers of Dolphins can also be found almost regularly on the island every early morning because this is the time where they migrate to another places in small numbers and sometimes in big numbers also. So if you want to discover and be one with nature, Pamilacan Island is the right place for you. You can really appreciate how nature works on its own ways by visiting the island and I am really sure that you will enjoy the place and you won’t regret choosing Pamilacan Island as your vacation getaway.
