Apo Reef and Anilao
1 / 1
The route includes two of the Philippines’ best dive destinations. Apo Reef — 34 square kilometers of coral reefs, rarely visited due to their remoteness and marine protected area status. The area attracts sharks, turtles, schools of barracudas, and manta rays. Anilao is one of the most famous dive spots, located in the heart of the Coral Triangle. It features most known coral species, numerous nudibranchs, and stunning marine biodiversity. The route includes a visit to Taal Volcano — the world’s smallest active volcano — and sunset at Mabini Beach overlooking Sombrero Island.
