Cuatro Islas, located in the picturesque province of Leyte, Philippines, is a group of four scenic islands that offer a serene escape into nature. The islands of Apid, Digyo, Mahaba, and Himokilan are known for their diverse landscapes, each boasting different sand colors and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The area is perfect for activities like swimming, snorkeling, island-hopping, and sunbathing. Despite its raw beauty, Cuatro Islas lacks modern amenities, maintaining a preserved natural environment.
Himokilan, the largest island, is accessible from Hindang and offers mountain trekking and cave exploration alongside beach activities. Apid is known for mat-weaving and fishing, while Mahaba and Digyo are renowned for their pristine white-sand beaches.
The best time to visit is during the dry season from December to May, ensuring optimal conditions for enjoying the islands' natural beauty.
