The Dao Dao Islands are two small islets within the Illana Bay. Dao Dao Dako (big) is the bigger island which covers 1.10 hectares and is a 7 to 10‑minute ride by motorboat from the seaport. It’s popular with locals for swimming and picnics because of its proximity to the mainland.
Dao Dao Gamay or Dumagok Islet is technically not an
island Located in Dumagok Pagadian City, but another small islet that partially submerges during high tide. A
set of green cottages and walkways have been constructed on the small island
for visitors, making it another popular spot for locals.
