A guided walk along the mountain spine of Dinagat, through low dwarf forest with the sea on both sides.

The interior of Dinagat is almost unvisited. A ridge runs down the spine of the island carrying a band of stunted forest that grows on the mineral soils up there, and from the top you can see the Pacific on one side and the Surigao Strait on the other. It is exposed, so it is walked early, and it is the best answer to a day when the sea is closed.

  • Dwarf forest along the ridge

Verification in progress

A Dinagat-based operator running island hopping, inland heritage tours and sunset dining from Basilisa. 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. It is Islora's founding operator and the proof-of-concept for the platform.
