The route between Surigao City and Dinagat is a path through many Islands. Here, another boat was riding alongside the boat that I took when I went to Dinagat in August 2009. It wasn’t really a race, but the boat I was on won anyway! Ha ha.
Port of Dinagat

The Port of Dinagat is a small port on the West side of Dinagat Island, and a little South of San Jose. There is not much to see or do in this part of the Island, though, so you might want to go to San Jose instead.
Port of San Jose

San Jose is the second largest municipality on Dinagat Island. This is the Port of San Jose, one of the places where you catch a boat bound for Surigao City from the island. The trip from San Jose to Surigao City is about 1 1/2 hours on one of these boats, and the fare is P100.
An islet of Dinagat

Dinagat is really surrounded by a lot of little islets all around the big Island. Here you see a tropic islet with palm trees, just off the coast of the main island of Dinagat. Dinagat is Mindanao’s newest Province.

On my recent visit to Dinagat Island, I shared the boat to Dinagat with these kids and their Mom sitting in front of me. What cute kids! Actually, there was another one, but she did not make it into this photo! The boat to Dinagat leaves from Surigao City, it is about an hour to an hour and a half to Dinagat, and the fare is P90.

This “upscale” looking house is located near to the Port of Dinagat, a small port on the west side of Dinagat Island. Looks like somebody has a nice place there!
The Dinagat Castle

I recently visited Dinagat Island, the newest Province of Mindanao! Here is a view of the “Castle of Dinagat” up on a mountaintop near San Jose. It really looks like a Castle, don’t you think?
