Overview
Calayan Island, part of the Babuyan Islands in the northern Philippines, is a hidden treasure in the Luzon Strait known for its untouched landscapes and serene atmosphere. This remote island in Cagayan Province offers a rare glimpse into traditional Filipino island life, surrounded by rugged coastlines, lush forests, and crystal-clear waters.
