crocodile island

We arrived around 10AM when the mid-day sun was hot hot hot! The island has no tree cover therefore make sure you have a hat or some kind of sun protection. I saw a group who had a make-shift teepee using two sarongs and a few branches.It's called Crocodile Island because from a certain angle it looks like a crocodile. I didn't see this until I got back San Vicente Port and saw some tourism posters about the island. My verdict? This is an island you can skip. Take the photo from the boat and just move on to another island. No need to go to shore.

I never wanted to contradict the other reviews but our experience was not satisfactory most probably because of the time. This islet is the nearest because it could be viewed from afar at San Vicente Port.I find this small stretch not suitable for swimming because we arrived at past 11am and the sun was scorching really hot and we were greeted with washed out seashells and corals on the shore instead of white sand. The boatmen did not inform us that it's not ok for swimming as we were looking for the finest sand there is within the vicinity. There was a small shaded rock formation but only 1 group was able to occupy it.I think its useless to pitch a tent as well. The Best boat package would have to be the Cape engano and Anguib Beach for php3000 for 8persons exclude the crocodile island because it has nothing else to offer than viewing it.

Located between "San V" Port and Punta Verde, Palaui Island in Sta Ana, Cagayan, Crocodile Islet is interesting from afar or even at a closer encounter. The islet's waters are so clear and inviting any time of the day. The islet is perfect for swimming and is even suitable for camping. The view from the islet is fantastic especially when one climbs on top of the "Crocodile's" body. One can see the longest mountain range in the Philippines and the beauty that the Northernmost part of Luzon has to offer.A visit during sunset is highly recommended.
