HomeIloiloIloilo ProvinceNorthern IloiloConcepcionAgho IslandAgho Island is a small parcel of paradise located 7 nautical miles northeast of Concepcion town proper . The privately owned eight-hectare island has an extensive white sand beach area and a sprawling coral garden.Upon reaching the island you will see the island’s sandbar which shifts from left to right depending on the wind direction and season.There are no luxurious accommodations in Agho Island. If you want to experience an overnight in paradise you will have to “commune” with nature in the process. Better bring a tent, food, cooking materials, and other things you might need to survive. There’s no reason to panic though, barely a kilometer away from Agho is Malangabang Island, where there is electricity and numerous sari-sari stores available.On the backside of the island is a hill where you can have a good view of the sea and below it are rock formations and cliffs. This part of the island is not suitable for swimming because the strong currents make it dangerous. It is interesting to visit though, and is something that you can do when visiting the island.When in Agho, make sure not to miss the breathtaking explosion of light during the sunrise, which can be seen unobtrusively at the backside of the island, and the sunrise, which is in the direction of the scenic Mt. Pan de Azucar.The only inhabitants of the island are the caretakers, who own a motorized banca or small boat. You can request them to take you island hopping and snorkeling on the sprawling coral gardens near Agho. The corals there retain their vibrant colors with many fishes and other sea creatures swimming around. There is even an enclosed portion where the caretakers grow giant clams, abalone, among others.If you want to visit the island contact 09296089830 and introduce yourself properly for permission and more details about Agho Island. The island is owned by the Salcedo Family.Agho Island is approximately 9 kilometers or 30 minutes from Concepcion Town Proper by pumpboat or motorized outriggers.Don’t leave yet. There’s more!Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *Comment *Name * Email * Website ΔThis site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

This island is gorgeous and has lots of snorkeling spots within feet of the beach. This is trully one of those virgin beaches. Much better than the overrated Boracay and still full of natural beauty.Reply raffy ganzon saysMay 18, 2013 at 1:35 pmbeen there with my high school classmates last May 10. one of us (whose residence is at Malangabang) got stung by a jellyfish. it did scared us but it didn’t stop the sea from alluring us to burn ourselves out under the sun.

It is good when you want relaxing, privacy, discovering and most of all the white sand and a crystal water of the Island. I met Tita Marlyn a caretaker of the Island together with her husband, children’s, grand father and etc. they are so hospitable, approachable and you feel like comfortable with them. As one of my experienced in this Island is that we walked the whole Island, there is some obstacles like trees and stones but we think that is it challenge for us in order to finish walking the whole Island. In the evening, i see the sunset going down. Then after eating our dinner we sing along because they have Videoke then Night Swimming while bonfire near from the sea.Reply Shalimar saysApril 30, 2012 at 10:35 pmbeen there three times already and i will keep coming back…Reply Vic saysDecember 2, 2011 at 8:05 pm@Jenjen i guess theres a bout to Estancia from Bantayan once a week lang …Reply Jenjen saysDecember 1, 2011 at 2:50 pmnormally i go there by plane or via slow boat.

I think I would love the place. Once, I happened to visit several islands there like Marbuena and Ginasyan. Pan de Azucar Mountain is overlooking our native place and can be seen right at the doorstep of our home in Ajuy. Most of my mountaineering friends know the place and conquered its peak,hehhe, kaingit sila. Maybe next year, I will try visiting the place so I could experience their so called majestic view. God BlessReply chymera00 saysJune 15, 2007 at 10:05 pmForm the city you can ride a Concepcion bound bus in Tagbak terminal. It is a 2.5-3 hour trip … But beforehand you’d have to contact the owner of the island through text: 09219058208 to arrange your visit to the island.There are no beach resorts or restaurants in the island, you have to bring your own food or bring with you a tent :) The owners didn’t want to ruin the beauty of nature by building too much structures.Reply kaye nacionales saysMay 2, 2007 at 12:13 amwhat a perfect summer getaway!!! i’m arriving ilo2 2nd week of may’07. how do i get there? i’ll be traveling w/ my husband. how much does it cost for me to rent a cottage for 3 nights/4days? are there restaurants around? the place is really cool…pls advise….ASAP!!!!Reply oboi_1 saysApril 15, 2007 at 3:43 pmHi Chymera!
