Cruises visiting Capul Island

Capul, an island municipality in the province of Northern Samar, is a true hidden paradise whose coconut palms are visible from the sea as you arrive. Located off the north-west coast of the province, this gem offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The island stands out for its historical significance, its charming simplicity and its unspoilt coastal landscapes. Here you will find Saint Ignatius of Loyola Parish Church, an emblematic site dating back to the 1600s, during the Spanish colonial period. Just ten minutes away by habal-habal, a traditional mode of transport, the Capul lighthouse, perched atop a cliff, offers breathtaking panoramic views over the San Bernardino Strait. Designated a provincial historical monument, it guides ships through the strait by emitting a white flash every seven seconds. These landmarks and the friendliness of the locals, who live off fishing and coconut farming, make this a destination well worth exploring.
