The Babuyan Islands (/bɑːbuˈjɑːn/ / bah-bə-YAHN) form an archipelago located in the Luzon Strait north of Luzon Island in the Philippines. It is separated from Luzon by the Babuyan Channel and from the Batanes Islands to its north by the Balintang Channel.

The Babuyan Islands consist of five major islands: Babuyan Island, Calayan, Camiguin, Dalupiri, and Fuga. Note that the Camiguin island here is different from Camiguin Island in Mindanao.

Geologically the islands are part of the Luzon Volcanic Arc.

Politically, the Babuyan Islands are part of the Philippine province of Cagayan.

  • The Babuyan Islands are so cute, though many local denizens leave these beautiful isles and go from the Babuyans to other larger Philippine Islands - Luzon, Mindanao, Samar, Negros, Palawan, Panay, Mindoro, Leyte, Cebu, Bohol and Masbate.
