Buenavista View Deck: The Tagudtod Panorama in Bicas-Bicas

Locally known as Tagudtod Viewdeck, the Buenavista View Deck is perched in Barangay Bicas-Bicas and has become one of Marinduque’s small-scale pilgrimage spots for travelers chasing a panoramic view. The climb up isn’t long, but the payoff — a sweeping look over the mountains and, on clearer days, glimpses of the coastline — is consistently what visitors come back talking about.

Getting There

From the main road, it’s a 3-kilometer uphill ride to reach the deck. Most visitors come by habal-habal or private vehicle. The ride itself is part of the experience — the kind of short Marinduque road that turns scenic fast once you gain elevation.

Entrance Fees

The deck is an official tourist attraction with a modest entrance fee: PHP 30 for adults, PHP 15 for children. Straightforward, affordable, and a direct way to support the barangay that maintains the site.

What You’ll See

The viewing deck gives an uninterrupted panorama of the surrounding ridgelines — on a good day, you can pick out the contours of the surrounding mountains and follow the coast. It’s the kind of spot that rewards both sunrise visits (for clarity) and late-afternoon visits (for the light), and it’s become a recurring feature in travel content from creators passing through the province.

Contact & Coordination

Because the attraction is managed locally, questions typically go through the Municipal Government of Buenavista:

Note that specific operating hours aren’t published — your safest bet is a daytime visit with enough buffer to handle the uphill ride in and out.

Why It’s Worth It

For the amount of Marinduque you see from the top, a PHP 30 entry and a 3-kilometer ride is a trade most travelers happily make. Tagudtod has quietly earned its reputation, and it keeps showing up on Marinduque itineraries for good reason.
