Local Verde Islanders say that Mount Dagit Dagit is the highest point on Isla, although official records claim its sister peak Mt Liponpon might be taller. We will climb Mt Dagit Dagit because it is an easier trek and the views are amazing, then we will cross to part of Liponpon.
From the resort it takes about three hours to get to the summit. On the walk you will have many photo opportunities as the scenery is great. Sometimes local fruits are in season and you might be able to enjoy a dalandan (Filipino Orange) or two along the way. On Isla this fruit is called sintoris.
1200 After a pleasant walk, stop you will stop at the peak for lunch and enjoy the wonderful view.
