Bongao, Tawi- tawi

BLUEST BLUE. Bongao Peak

In most travels to Tawi-tawi start off in Bongao, the capital and the most densely populated municipality of the province. The flurry of colors and movement – from the tricycles to the merchandise of fish, vegetables – all point to the vibrant life in the province.

Bongao also has dive sites, particularlyy in Pahut, where you’ll see not only corals and fish, but a World War II plane wreck as well.

A short hike up the island is Bud Bongao (Bongao Peak), the highest peak in the province. The grassy peak of the island is perfect for watching the hustle and bustle of the town below while waiting for the sunset.
