Entrance Fee

Adult
100 PHP~100 $

₱100 entrance fee per person (often included in island hopping tour). Cabana rental ₱300. Fresh seafood at local restaurants: prawns ₱600/kg, calamari ₱500/kg, fish market price. Cooking service included.

Best Time to Visit

March to May (dry season) offers the best weather with calm seas. Early morning arrivals (before 10 AM) mean fewer tourists. Avoid arriving during peak lunch hours (11 AM - 1 PM) if you want a quieter experience. The island is pleasant year-round but tours may be cancelled during typhoons.

How to Get There

Only accessible by boat. Join a Tri-Island Hopping Tour from General Luna (₱1,250-1,500/person including lunch) - Daku is typically the lunch stop. Private boat hire costs ₱1,500-3,000. Boat ride from General Luna takes 30-45 minutes depending on sea conditions.

What to Expect

Expect a tropical island paradise with excellent facilities. The island has shaded areas under coconut palms, beach restaurants serving fresh seafood (choose your fish/prawns, they cook it for you), rental cabanas for relaxing, and beach volleyball courts. The beach has white sand and the water is deep enough for proper swimming. This is where most tours have lunch, so expect crowds during midday. Restroom facilities available.

Yes, most Tri-Island Hopping Tours (₱1,250-1,500) include a buffet lunch at Daku Island featuring grilled seafood, rice, and local dishes. If you want premium seafood like lobster or extra portions, you can order separately from the local restaurants. Vegetarian options are limited but can be arranged in advance.

Yes, you can hire a private boat from General Luna (₱1,500-3,000) to visit Daku Island independently. This gives you flexibility on timing and duration. You'll need to pay the ₱100 entrance fee separately. This option is good for those who want to avoid the lunch crowd or spend more time on specific islands.
