Bangui is the gateway to the tourist haven of Pagudpud . Occupying 163.59 square kilometers of rolling terrain festooned with riverine and estuarine networks, Bangui is a tourist paradise waiting to be discovered.
Bangui 's crystal-clear water and fine sandy beaches stretch uninterrupted from one end of the municipality's coast to the other. These waters are ideal for swimming, sea kayaking and snorkeling. The beauty of the land equals that of the coast. The best way to appreciate it is to motor along the Baruyen Zigzag Road . At the Bangui view deck one can get a magnificent view of neatly ordered farm fields, glistening estuaries, quiet communities, cool mountains and Bangui bay .
For those who prefer swimming in fresh water there is Bulu River at the border of Bangui and Pagudpud . The river's clear water gushes from springs deep within the rainforests of the towering mountains of Adams . Bathers should not be surprised to chance upon tourists paddling kayaks on the river. Bulu River is fast becoming a major destination for kayakers in northern Luzon .
