Experience a major holiday trip at the heart-shaped Panay Island in Central Philippines. Dip into Panay Island’s amazing white sand beaches and huge coastlines while sunbathing and sipping a cocktail from a coconut, but there’s more to Panay than what you know - from Panay Island’s mountainous, jungled interior that has yet to be fully mapped to its rich culture and activities from across the province.
