The inland day almost nobody sells — the PBMA shrine, the Island Castle, the ship-shaped capitol, and a mountain viewpoint at sunset.
Every other operator on Dinagat sells the same two boat routes. This is the land alternative, and it runs in weather that keeps the boats in port. The circuit takes in the PBMA Divine Master Shrine above San Jose, the Island Castle on its hilltop, the Provincial Capitol built in the shape of a ship, the Babaeng Bukid viewing deck, and a Pacific viewpoint on the Basilisa side — finishing on the mountain for sunset over the archipelago. Roughly a hundred kilometres round trip, timed so you are seated before the sun goes down.

Laaganan owns its own boats' shore logistics, shuttle vehicle and kitchen, which is why its itineraries reach places and hours that the standard day-tour circuit does not.
