Napayong Island offers a beautiful and serene vista from the lakeshore barangays and it is considered as the tourism centerpiece of the city. Tracing its colorful past, during World War II, it served as “payong” or shelter for Tanaueños to escape the vicious treatment of Japanese troops. Today, with its rich ecotourism value, it is an ideal place for island hopping, bird watching, trekking, camping and rappelling.
