Cruz Island is world-famous for its stunning pink sand beach, a natural wonder formed by crushed red corals mixing with white sand.This small island is a popular destination known for its unique and beautiful coastal landscape. As a protected eco-tourism site, this island offers a peaceful escape with crystal-clear waters, thriving marine life, and a lush mangrove forest, where visitors can take guided lagoon tours and spot rare wildlife.

    Every stop was a photo op! The pink sand was soft and dreamy in the morning light, the vinta ride gave me those vibrant cultural shots, and the sandbar looked surreal. If you’re into travel content, don’t skip this.

    For the price, sobrang sulit! You get to see the lagoon, ride a vinta, walk on the pink sand, and explore the sandbar. May guide na, may boat pa  hindi mo na kailangan gumastos ng malaki para sa quality tour.

    I have a slight knee issue, but I was still able to enjoy the tour. The boat ride was smooth, and the staff helped me get on and off safely.

    Joined solo and had an amazing time. It was easy to meet fellow travelers, and the lagoon and vinta ride were highlights. The guides were warm and organized. Simple but magical experience!

    The whole tour was a beautiful experience  the lagoon was peaceful, the sandbar was surreal, and the vinta ride was such a unique local touch. The pink sand was subtle but stunning. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Zamboanga!

    Sobrang sulit ng joiner tour! Na-enjoy namin yung lagoon at sandbar  ang ganda for photos. First time din namin mag-vinta ride, sobrang saya! Plus hindi mo palalagpasin yung pink sand. Ang linis at very IG-worthy!
