It is owned by Maruja Bolivar-Reyes, under single proprietorship, who is likewise the part owner of the whole of Cabugao Island (formerly known as the Antonia Island) situated in the cluster of islands composing Gigante Sur, particularly Bgy.

Headed by a recognized tourism expert contracted to serve as the General Manager and Chief Operating Officer (CEO), its declared policy is to deliver its tourism-related services with the highest consideration in the observance of responsible green tourism principles. For this end, it is its unconditional commitment to protect, preserve and nurture every natural assets of the island both on-land and on-sea, as well as maintaining the very limited carrying capacity of the Island Paradise to the maximum of not more than 200 guests during the day visit/excursion and no more than 80 guests for overnight accommodation on a first-come-first-served basis. Thus, it has designed the official Privilege Card Service Voucher available to its duly authorized Sales Agents and Outlets in Domestic and Overseas tourist markets. TOTAL PRIVACY for GUESTS in a privately-owned island paradise where guests could certainly claim to own the island during their stay, but strictly enjoined to “LEAVE NOTHING BUT FOOTFRINTS IN THE SAND, and TAKE NOTHING BUT WONDERFUL MEMORIES” is the trademark of Maruja Flora Travel and Tours.
