A Road Less Traveled: The Scenic and Challenging Sibuyan Circumferential

The Sibuyan Circumferential Road is a very scenic (and challenging) road located on the crescent-shaped island of Sibuyan, in the province of Romblon, in the Philippines.

Is the Sibuyan Circumferential Road worth the drive?

Located in the Sibuyan Sea, the road is very scenic as it follows the coastline of one of the most unspoiled ecosystems in the Philippines and the world. The island has been dubbed by some local and international natural scientists as "the Galápagos of Asia," because it has remained in isolation from the rest of the world since its formation. Nearly 50% of Sibuyan Island is still covered in primary forest on its upper slopes.

How long is the Sibuyan Circumferential Road?

The road, also known as Regional Highway 480, forms a loop around the island, so you can start at any point. It’s 92km (57 miles) long and comprises gravel, concrete, asphalt, and sand surfaces. A high-clearance vehicle is highly recommended.
