Wanting to get the island paradise feeling of peace and serenity but on a budget?

Island Eco-Tourism Park in Olango Island is not just another tourist location. The place is full of vibrant and warm colors that will surely capture your heart. The sea breeze will get you hooked and the waves will draw you in. But if you think that’s all it offers, well you’re in for quite a surprise.

Bahay Kubo or Nipa hut is a Philippine culture icon and has earned its title due to its livable and comfortable space built by our ancestors before the influence of our colonizers.

Payag the perfect country house that will let you breath the province in all its rawness. One beautiful kamalig or as more commonly known as “payag” sits right in the plains of the beautiful island of Olango, at Asinan Eco-Tourism Park.

You can have an overnight stay on the payag itself or choose to rent a tent on its vast collection on the grounds.

There is a certain freedom on the activities that you can enjoy in the island but swimming on the sea and biking are the two most recommended.
