Waniban Island Mati Davao Oriental

Waniban Island is known as an island that is surrounded by blue crisp water that is ideal for swimming, scuba and skin diving.You can explore it in less than 1 to 2 hours  on foot.

How to go to Waniban Island

Waniban Island is a  4 hectares in Barangay Tamisan, approximately 25 kilometers from Mati City, and is only a 30 to 40 minute boat ride from Mati City Wharf or if you stay in Cinco Masao Beach Resort it will just be  15 to 20 minutes pump boat . Wanniban Island is owned by the Linsag Family. 

What to Expect in Waniban Island

The place is very natural there are no people leaves in the island. No Electricity, No Beach Resort, there is only one cottage that visitors can stay also NO Entrance fee. The view of this island is really refreshing in the eyes and brain. So bring everything you want to, the foods and the drinks. Safe wise you better leave the island before 4pm because the waves will not be the same it become bigger.  

If you are watching the survivor series then you can relate to this very native island. 

My Own experience in Waniban Island

We stay at the cinco masao beach resort one of the cheap best resort in Mati City Davao Oriental. At Night we ask to book a pump boat that will bring us to Waniban Island because from where we stay we can see an Island that we can’t deny to explore. As an outdoor enthusiast we love to explore new things and my best dream is to see and conquer all 7,107 island of the Philippines.

So after booking a pump boat at night we are sure at the morning we will be at Waniban Island. At 8 AM we ride an pumpboat and reach to waniban island at 8:30 then starting exploring the island it just took me 2 hours to walk around the entire island. I was a fulfilling thing to explore the beauty of waniban. After roaming around we cook our lunch and swim into the water of waniban. Then go back to masao to pack and get back to the real world.
