Island hopping

From the sources

“The municipality is also known for popular tourist attractions such as the Islas de Gigantes, Sicogon Island, and Cabugao Gamay Island.”

“One tourist destination in Western Visayas is the Islas de Gigantes or Higantes Group of Islands located in the second class municipality of Carles in northern Iloilo.”

Sentences are from this town's Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles, found by code because they mention the vibe; they are not necessarily the ones the model relied on.
