Overview

Kitesurf

Sibato Island is a small island in the Western Visayas, Philippines, located in the waters between Boracay and Romblon. The island's position in the open Sibuyan Sea means it catches winds from both the Amihan (NE monsoon) and Habagat (SW monsoon) seasons effectively.

Remote island spot accessible only by boat. Very limited to no facilities. The open water location provides consistent winds but can also mean challenging conditions with swell and currents. Best for advanced to expert riders on an island-hopping kite trip. Sandy beaches for launching available.
