Aquí na Zamboanga,

there is a must-explored island group, the Once Islas which consists of 11 different islands and islets. Among the 11 islands, 4 have been developed for tourists which includes the Bisaya-Bisaya, Sirommon, Baung-Baung and Buh-Buh island, which comes with tourist-friendly facilities like beach cottages, trekking trails and designated kayaking and snorkeling sites.

How to get there:
The tour begins after your guide picks you up within Zamboanga City or in Panubigan town proper. You will then be brought to the port in Panubigan and board a motorboat to start your island-hopping escapade (Guide to the Philippines, n.d.).

Note:
Tourists should book at least a day in advance and pre-register at Zamboanga City Tourism Office and because of the current and tides, the boats need to be back at the ferry terminal by 3:00 pm. This makes island-hopping trips here ideal for day tours with a lunch stop. Moreover, overnight stays and beach camping is not allowed (Travel Up, 2018).
