Ivuhos (also known as Ibugos,[2] Ibujos,[3] Vuhus[3] and Ibahos[1] Island) is one of the islands of Batanes, the northernmost province of the Philippines. The uninhabited island is located west of Sabtang Island and is separated by a deep channel nearly 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide.
Ivuhos Island is small and rather low, except a hill on the south end. A coral beach before the hill on the eastern side is the only safe landing place on the island. The shores on both sides of the channel are bordered by reef.[4] The flood tide sets southward with a velocity from 3 to 4 knots, and the ebb northward.
