Cuatro Islas is relatively unknown to most travelers. Unlike Kalanggaman Island farther up north which is slowly gaining in popularity, the group of four islands has yet to break into the travel itinerary of most folks visiting this part of the Visayas. We first encountered Cuatro Islas in a postcard in the early 2000's and soon realized that it was an unpolished gem waiting to be discovered. It took several years but finally, in March of this year (2015) we were ready to explore the islands of Digyo, Mahaba, Himokilan and Apid. Arriving in Ormoc to visit retired UP professor Dr. Oggie Hermosilla, we had three places lined up for our 5-day vacation with him and other friends. Cuatro Islas was first on the list.
We alighted from the commuter van near the municipal hall of Inopacan and to our good fortune it turned out that the pantalan or docking area for boats taking tourists to the Cuatro Islas was just behind the municipal hall. From there it was a short and uneventful 30-minute boat ride to our first island: Mahaba.
