An island that is part of the city of San Carlos, the place is separated from the main island of Negros. It will took you about 15-20 minutes to arrive by boat from the main port of San Carlos City, and will cost you 15 pesos fare for the boat. At the port of Sipalay Island, there are already many motorcycles and tricycles ready for every tourists and visitors.

There are resorts that offers diving lesson and will take you to their best diving spots. You can also find a centennial balete tree found in the backyard of the school. Roaming around the island, you can observe that there are many vacant places or empty areas where there are only a few houses are there. The island is a quite community and children are in awe whenever they see some visitors. It’s really a good place to spend your holiday if you’re looking for a place to relax.

I will be coming back to the place, I will be spending more time on exploring the island, cause I got spend only about 4 hours in the island cause I need to visit another place on the same day. Though I with new friends got a little time spent on the island, we able to visit the centennial tree of the island, which is also one of the tourist destination that is located inside a school campus at the heart of the island. You can ask the driver to drop you at the centennial tree, since it is known by the locals.
