Bonito Island -- an island paradise. Just a small heart-shaped island off the coast of Luzon, Bonito is semi-untouched, not full developed but leaves a lot of natural beauty lying around.
Bonito Island is a constant site for tourists who take the ferry going to the world-renowned Puerto Galera resort in Mindoro island.
The beautiful thing about Bonito is that you can enjoy the island all to yourself. Just be wary of the strong current around the island.
Quick Tips:
Since Bonito island is small and can only cater to a number of guests, it is best that you book or reserve your rooms ahead of time.
Also, inform them if you are a vegetarian or if you have food requirements because there's no other place where you can dine but in their main dining room in the island.
Pack your snorkeling gear so you can enjoy the corals nearby. Don't forget your sunblock lotions.
Best time to be in Bonito Island is between March to May when it's still dry season in the Philippines.Best Way To Get Around:

Once in Bonito, you can walk around the island. No need for a ride. There are no highways there, just walking trails.
