How To Get There | Island Garden City of Samal, Davao del Norte

       Island Garden City of Samal or IGaCoS is located two kilometers away from Davao City. The city is the largest resort city of the Philippines due to its good beaches, and it also houses many beach resorts, such as Pearl Farm, Bluejaz Beach Resort & Waterpark and many more. It has also numerous marine reefs and tranquil waters that lure the tourists to visit them. Because of these, the Department of Tourism named it one of the best visiting islands in Mindanao and now the fastest growing tourist destination in the country.
