Island Cove Experience



Island Cove is known to be the pioneer in the tourism industry with respect to the introduction of a multitude of attractions that lure both local and foreign visitors. The existing facilities available to its guests are the Hotel, the Oceania Water Park, the Animal Island, the Island Songs KTV, the paintball arena and airsoft game site, the Fishing Village, the petting zoo, and the Island Spa. Island Cove’s other well-loved trademarks include the outdoor giant chess set, the playground, and Concert Grounds just to name a few.


Island Cove's Top View





Last October 9 we decided to celebrate our 50th monthsary of Love in this man-made island in Kawit, Cavite. This 36-hectare resort and hotel has a variety of activities and leisure for all ages. It's also a good place to chill and unwind while enjoying its beautiful sceneries and relaxing ambiance away from the hectic lifestyle of the city. :)





The first attraction that we visited is the Animal Island! 




Animal Island is the largest animal sanctuary in Cavite. It is home to different species of reptiles, mammals and birds. Have a chance to feed crocodiles, monkeys, and come face to face with ostriches,cassowary, deers, bearcats and Bengal tigers.

After exploring Animal Island, we proceed to the Bike Station to enjoy the Island's view while biking.




Breakfast at Sangley Point...


On our second day, after we had a buffet breakfast at Sangley Point we went fishing at the "Fishing Village". It is the biggest and most exciting fishing arena in Kawit, Cavite. It is a 3-hectare fishing ground and you can have your catch cooked exactly the way you want or you can just bring it home, which ever you prefer, but unfortunately we didn't catch anything...hehehe. Anyways you can also enjoy classic Filipino dishes and fresh fruit shakes while dining in huts on stilts over water.


Welcome to the Fishing Village!

Fishing Time!



Island Cove's Electric Tram

Also, Island Cove has a zero-emission Electric Tram that is used to transport vacationers from one point of the 36-hectare land to another.




Another is the Oceania Water Park, which is the most exhilarating water attraction in Cavite. It has a 3,000 square meter two-layered swimming pool with four giant slides. Inside the Oceania Water Park complex is Kiddie Cove, a wading pool for children. It has slides fountains and showers that will surely excite the little ones just like us...hehehe. Oceania added two more exciting water adventures: Walk on Water Aqua Balls, where you can roll inside the giant, inflatable spheres, and Target Shooting, a paintball shooting area. You can also take pleasure in a game of table tennis, beach volleyball or target shooting while taking a break from the pool.





The Giant Chess piece, reminded us of wizard chess in Harry Potter movie. :)




The Paintball Field, also the airsoft game site.
