Himokilan island's point of view from Brgy Guadalupe (Binitinan).
Himokilan Island – [Hindang, Leyte] One of the islands of Cuatro Islas off the western coast of Leyte. This island looks like a giant shoe floating in the sea. It is the only island in Cuatro Islas that belongs to the municipal territory of Hindang.
The shoreline around the island has patches of pristine white sandy beach and limestone cliffs. It is inhabited by families of several fishermen who would trade their catch in the mainland and to island's guests.
Due to the scarcity of supply of freshwater, the islanders built a big concrete cistern near their village to catch and store rainwater though they would have to fetch their potable water from the mainland of Hindang or Inopacan.

Himokilan island is quite near to the mainland, in fact is the nearest island among the four islands of Cuatro Islas. One could cross the sea to reach the island by simply paddling a sakayan (fishing canoe) on a calm sea.
