The satellite image of Patoo Island reveals the lush green vegetation, with brown patches indicating cleared areas. Red lines mark paths or routes for island hopping adventures or boat tours, showcasing the surrounding waters and nearby islands in this picturesque landscape.

Patoyo is the island where we first started, but had to move when the Amihan trade winds came because it became too windy during the dry season.

A serene tropical beach scene with lush green grass and tall trees leads to a sandy shoreline. A small wooden structure is nestled among the trees. The ocean, perfect for boat tours, is calm, with an island visible in the distance under a cloudy sky.

A lovely little island to explore as it has lots of jungle trails, and Alvin would gladly act as guide for you for about 500p a day.

A dog lies on a wooden bamboo porch with a hammock swinging gently nearby, perfect for relaxing after a day of island hopping. The structure features woven bamboo walls and an open space leading to the outdoors. Sunlight casts shadows on the porch, adding a warm ambiance to the rustic setting.

The empty hut has a hammock on its patio with an entrance area and two rooms inside. Unfortunately no fancy mattress yet, but it does have mosquito nets and I imagine he would charge around 200p/pax for the authentic rural experience. His wife would be happy to cook meals for you.

A person wearing a red shirt and pink shorts stands on a sandy area under a tree, holding a child in yellow while contemplating island hopping. Nearby, two pigs forage beside the iconic stone wall with lush vegetation in the background, painting an inviting picture for boat tour enthusiasts.

Alvin is actually our main boatman for the local scene, as his smaller boat is ideal for it. He can take you on local boat tours, or even as far as Coron or near El Nido for a modest price.

Two men are sitting outdoors on wooden stools by the beach, enjoying a sunny day after some island hopping. One is smiling in a white shirt, while the other wears green. Between them, a small table holds a bottle, a jar, and some items. A rustic wooden fence lines the background.

Celebrating his birthday with him after more than a year of cooperation.

A small boat, perhaps poised for island hopping, rests on a rocky shore at sunset. The sky is painted with vibrant orange and yellow hues, reflecting on the calm sea. Fluffy clouds drift across the horizon, and an island is visible in the distance.

The sunset during his birthday party. In general very beautiful sunsets here.

A rustic bamboo hut with a thatched roof stands in a sunlit area, perfect for island hopping adventures. It features a small raised porch with wooden railings. Trees and greenery are visible in the background as the hut is elevated slightly above the ground, offering a serene escape.
