A traditional Bangka, motorized outrigger canoe ride from Malamawi Island to Isabela City Port
A trip from Malamawi Island to Isabela City Port offers an enchanting escape into the serene beauty of the Philippines. This brief yet picturesque journey is taken onboard a traditional Bangka, a motorized outrigger canoe. The Bangka is a quintessential part of Filipino maritime culture, and riding one provides a unique and authentic experience. As you set off from the port, the gentle hum of the Bangka's engine and the rhythmic lapping of waves against its hull create a soothing soundtrack for your adventure.

The voyage across the Basilan Strait is relatively short, typically lasting around 15 to 20 minutes, but it is packed with breathtaking vistas. As the Bangka glides over the crystal-clear turquoise waters, passengers are treated to panoramic views of the surrounding seascape. The journey offers a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty of the region, with the possibility of spotting local marine life, such as playful dolphins or colorful fish beneath the water's surface.
