Get DirectionsThis magnificent sight can be found in Barangay Bongtud, Tandag City. The name Twin Islands comes from the distinct feature of two parallel islands that appear like a gate at the entrance of a small bay in Tandag. Locals say these islands have been present for millions of years, shielding Tandag against typhoons and tsunamis. Additionally, they served as strategic vantage points during the Spanish era, where cannons were fired to defend against local rebels and Moro raiders. Beyond their breathtaking beauty and protective function, the Twin Islands also hold a significant historical value, bearing witness to the area’s colorful past dating back to precolonial times.AddressBarangay Bongtud, Tandag CityContact DetailsMobile: +63 999 993 2961Email: [email protected]Operational Hours8:00 am – 5:00 pmBest time to visitYear-RoundHow to get thereRide a bus or tourist van from Butuan City to the terminal in Tandag City.
