Major city · Philippines
Inopacan
Spend 1–2 days: base in town, take day trips to Cuatro Islas, Hindang Cave and Lintaon for snorkeling and views.
Inopacan is a small coastal town on Leyte’s western side, best known for the Cuatro Islas archipelago. Most attractions are short drives or boat rides from town, so a single overnight stay covers the highlights.
