Tangke


                                   The famous Tangke

Island hopping and sight seeing in Carles is not complete if you cant take a plunge in the cool crystal clear water of "Tangke"

Tangke in Hiligaynon means tank or a container.  Just like its name sake, Tangke is compares to a container with high rising karst stones around it. During high tide, the water in Tangke also rises, just like a tank being filled with seawater. On low tide, the water also recedes.

Tangke is located in the Southern part of Gigantes Sur, Carles, Iloilo. The only way to get there is through boat and the best time is during high tide.
