Sun-kissed skin, sand on my toes and saltwater on my hair. This is what summer is all about.

Settled off the coast of Barangay Cadiz Viejo in Cadiz city this gem of an island made rounds on social media and event caught national attention because of its Tawhay Floating Bar, the biggest floating bar in the country-to-date. As years pass and developments take place, let’s check out the newest amenities, services and cuisines Lakawon Island has to offer for summer 2019.

The tricycle going to Lakawon Island

Lakawon has implemented a new chashless system, which now requires just three steps you’d need to accomplish upon arriving at their registration area in order to successfully receive your Lakawon Card (previously they required 6 steps)

START WITH STEP 3

Here you will need to register your name and each of your group member’s name in an online system, you’d also get to choose if you want a DAY TRIP PLAN or ADVENTURE PLAN (the adventure plan includes usage of TAWHAY FLOATING BAR). If you are undecided just choose the Adventuere plan then you may just inform the staff on the island whether or not you’d want to get on the Floating Bar.

STEPS 4 & 5 

Here you will need to decide on how much load you’d want to put into your Lakawon card, make sure to have enough load if you plan on using amenities such as your cottage, getting on the floating bar and food if you plan on eating at their restaurant instead. 

STEP 6

This is the last step where you will get your Lakawon Card and boarding pass for your members. Regardless of how many you are you will receive only one Lakawon Card. Lastly check out your group name and boat assignment on the monitor in the waiting area.

Lakawon has a wide range of main dishes and finger food which you may order from their grill bar or restaurant, here’s a peek on what to expect:
