Agutaya Island is the second largest of the Cuyo group with an area of about 4.5 square miles (12 km2). The north-eastern part is hilly. Four peaks tower over the island. The middle and highest of the four peaks, 885 feet (270 m) high, is covered with cogon grass (Imperata arundinacea), the others being wooded.[5]

Native sailboats used to be unable to sail to and from the nearby island of Cuyo (only 20 miles away), due to the strength of the monsoon, either the Northwest monsoon in wintertime, or the Southwest monsoon in summer.[6]

Agutaya is an inactive volcano, 120 metres (390 ft) ASL, located at 11°09′N 120°57′E, in the province of Palawan in the Philippines.
