11. Tubbataha Reef
Located in the Sulu Sea, it is a marine sanctuary protected as the Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park. The reef is made up of two atolls, North Atoll and South Atoll, detached by a deep channel of approximately 5 miles (8 km) wide. It is acclaimed as one of the most popular dive sites in the Philippines brought by its coral walls where the shallow coral reef snappily ends giving way to great depths. The marine park is open to live-aboard diving pleasure trips between the months of April to June when the waves are most serene.
Rising more than 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) above sea level, Mayon Volcano is significant for its perfectly symmetrical cone shape. Tourists can enjoy camping, climbing, trekking, bird watching and photography. A pictographic spot to marvel at Mayon Volcano is from the nearby Cagsawa ruins. This is the most active volcano in the Philippines, having erupted over 49 times in the past 400 years. The most devastating eruption of Mayon happened on February 1, 1814 bombarding the nearby towns with volcanic rocks. The belfry and what is left of the baroque church that was ruined by the 1814 eruption can still be seen.
A small island made up of hushed fishing villages, this is popular for its ideal diving spots and for being the only place in the world to see thresher sharks on a regular basis together with manta rays and hammerheads. The other hidden gems here are the beautiful, sandy white beaches, crystal clear waters bordered by coconut trees and vibrant coral gardens.
This is charming coastal town, well-preferred for its magnificent beaches, excellent diving spots and wide diversity of marine species. Holiday-makers can take pleasure on snorkeling to see some of Asia’s best coral reefs or dive among old shipwrecks and hundreds of fish species.
Situated on the northern coast of the island of Palawan, Puerto Princesa is a nature lover’s cloud 9. Home to well-preserved landscapes rich in wildlife, this exquisite town also lays claim to one of the world’s most unique natural phenomena, an underground river known as the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River. Protected within a national park, this natural wonder is the world’s longest traversable underground river. Guided paddle boat tours exhibit intriguing rock formations and flapping bats.
