The islands, the heritage route, and the sunset from the top of Basilisa.

Your gateway to Dinagat Islands and beyond. We organise island-hopping, inland circuits and sunset tours from our office beside the port — and we run the vehicle, the guide and the table at the top.

Four different days out

They are genuinely different trips. One of them keeps running when the Coast Guard suspends sailing.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises

  1. 01

    Discover

    Compare tours, itineraries and what is actually included. Every price is itemised in pesos.

  2. 02

    Reserve

    Send a booking request. We check availability, then reply with payment instructions and a reference number.

  3. 03

    Enjoy

    We confirm in writing once payment is verified, and meet you at the agreed pickup point.

Submitting a form is not a confirmation. Your booking is confirmed only after our team has verified your payment — and we say so at every step.

These are the landmarks on our heritage circuit — each one is a scheduled stop, not a suggestion.

Why book with Laaganan

We own the parts of the day that usually go wrong

  • The transport is ours

    Our own Toyota Tamaraw runs the San Jose–Basilisa route. No hunting for a ride at 4 PM.

  • The food is part of the product

    Every package includes a real set menu at a real saving, itemised against its à-la-carte price.

  • A weather plan that exists in advance

    If sailing is suspended we move you to the inland circuit, reschedule, or refund the sea portion. It is written into the terms, not decided on the day.

  • Booked by people who live here

    Every booking is handled from the San Jose office by the team that dispatches it.

Questions

The ones we are asked most

Are your tours wheelchair accessible?
The viewing decks involve short walks on uneven ground and are not wheelchair accessible. Please tell us in advance about any medical condition, mobility limitation, or pregnancy so we can advise honestly on what will and will not work for you.
How do I confirm a booking?
A 50% deposit confirms your booking. The balance is due at least two days before your tour date. Send us your request through this site and our reservations team will reply with availability and payment instructions.
Is my booking confirmed as soon as I submit the form?
No. Submitting the form creates a booking request and gives you a reference number. Your booking is confirmed only after our team has checked availability and verified your payment — you will receive a written confirmation by email at that point.
Can I book an island-hopping joiner on my own, or as a couple?
Yes. Joiners are sold by the seat, so you can book one or two without needing a group of your own. We pool you with other travellers on the same date, and the boat sails once ten seats are taken. If your date does not fill, we will offer you another date or a full refund — we will not leave you waiting at the port. If you would rather not depend on a boat filling, book a private charter instead: the boat is yours and it sails on the date you choose.
