Island
Tres Reyes Islands
Gasan, Marinduque
Named for the Three Kings — Gaspar, Melchor and Baltazar — this trio of islands off Gasan is ringed by coral gardens and a protected marine sanctuary. Gaspar, the largest, holds a quiet fishing village and an old lighthouse, and local lore tells of a sunken galleon and a submerged cross divers still seek in these waters.
Best time to visit
March to May for calm seas and clear water.
How to get there
From Boac, travel ~30–45 min south to Gasan, then hire a banca (outrigger) from Pinggan or Tiguion for the 20–30 min crossing.
