Kalanggaman Island, a pristine paradise in Palompon, Leyte, is best known for its iconic shifting sandbar, crystal-clear waters, and tranquil ambiance. Accessibility primarily involves a 1.5 to 2-hour boat ride from Palompon, which is reachable by bus or van from Tacloban City; boat trips are arranged through the local eco-tourism office. While independent visits are possible by chartering a boat or joining groups, a guided tour is often recommended for convenience, especially for first-time visitors, as it typically covers logistics, permits, and meals. The ideal time to visit is during the dry season from November to May to avoid rough seas and typhoons, as boat trips can be cancelled due to adverse weather. Expect approximate costs including an environmental fee (around PHP 550 for foreigners) and boat rental, which can be shared or part of a tour package (ranging from PHP 1500-2500+ per person for a day trip). A typical visit duration is a day trip, spending 4-6 hours on the island, though overnight camping is also an option. Visitors should bring their own food, water, and cash, as facilities are minimal, and mobile signal can be limited.
