Hello@Worldmappin community.How are you my dear travellers?I hope you're doing great and well this holiday season.As I welcome this year with so much thanked, I wanna share to you one of my great escapade in this year 2026.My whole family went to some places in Hilutungan Island in Bantayan,Cebu to experience Island hopping.Our banca boat run smoothly and safely as we reached near the Island Of Hilutungan,Bantayan,Cebu.Our backpacked bags were full of necessary items, sunscreens ready and of course delicious food were also ready and we were excited to feel the salty breeze of the sea as everyone was excited to dive in and swim. We first set off in our first destination of our Island hopping in Bantayan,Cebu Where I was so amazed with the Blue Crystal Clear Water of the sea and the white powdered fine sand.
Exploring the places in Hilutungan,Bantayan Cebu and nearby Islands was a joyful adventures.The place was like a paradise,the quietness and calmness of the place captivated us so much,and of course seeing the turquoise blue water that darted across the sea made everybody excited to dive in.
Excitement buzzed as we boarded on a Banca boat while touring and hopping around the Islands,then we stopped for a while to experience swimming in the Blue Crystal Clear Water of the Island.
At Hilutungan Island,we slipped on our life vests and feel the moment while we dipped into the water,as we gathered around sharing laughters and joy with the salty breeze of the sea. Jumping into the sea felt like entering into another kind of escapade.Floating together and marveled the beauty of the place as we are in awe discovering the nature's gift.
While the adults stayed on the boat,I and some other kids were enjoying snapped photos and laughed together enjoying the splashed of the water 💦💦
The powdery and white sandbar that glowed over the Island caught us so much attention that everyone paused for a moment and soaked in the water together,sharing stories and laughter together.Just being grateful for the day's given new opportunities to be with the family.
While the boat anchored around in the place of Hilutungan Island,we enjoyed walking along the boardwalk as the sea stretching, endlessly on both sides.
Children built sandcastle while the adults enjoyed the moment swimming and soaking oneself in the beauty of the Island.
My cousin was playing the sand,while he was being snapped with photos.
After how many hours of roaming around, hopping in and diving into the sea,we found ourselves ready to backpacked to finally fixed everything as everybody decided to went home.
We're so much grateful for the day's adventure,laugh trips and stories and more.
The blend of adventure of being together as a family and exploring the beauty of the place,sharing laughter together,was one of the best memories weve ever had..
Island hopping isn't just about the different Island we've visited but it's all about the joy in discovering the wonder of the place,and the strong bonds that strengthen us along the way.The moments of laughter,the wonder and togetherness were the memories etched into our hearts.
