Hiking

Walk grassy headlands, coastal trails and rolling hills with the Pacific crashing below.

Catanduanes is made for walking. Short trails lead up to grassy headlands with huge ocean views, through farmland and along cliffs where cows graze above the sea.

Binurong Point & Balacay Point, Baras

The island’s most famous hike: a gentle 30 to 45-minute walk from Barangay Guijalo up to Binurong Point, a rolling green headland above the Pacific. Nearby Balacay Point offers a quieter version of the same view.

Hiyop Point & Cagnipa, Pandan

In Pandan, the trail to Hiyop Point ends at a famous heart-shaped cove, and the Cagnipa Rolling Hills spread green pastures to the edge of the cliffs.

Good to know

Start early to beat the heat, hire a local guide where available (it supports the community), and pay the small environmental fees. Trails get slippery after rain, so wear shoes with grip.
