Take an Island Cruise on this Banca

After a successful launch in Cebu, Islands Banca Cruises is finally in Davao.

On a sunny afternoon, two white and orange bancas took their maiden voyages in the Davao channel, taking locals and tourists on a relaxing cruise from Davao City to the Garden City of Samal Island.

Islands Banca Cruises is the brainchild of the people behind Island Souvenirs.

The bancas’ captains, tour guides, and crew members are all trained as lifeguards. And they are ready to answer every beck and call and cater to every request of their guests. They are knowledgeable and can answer your tour and travel inquiries. And yes, they’re even trained to carry you if you don’t want to get your feet wet when getting on and off their bancas.
