Apo-island-joiner-tour

Overview

The best snorkeling is available at APO Island! It takes 30 minutes to travel south from Dumaguete to Malatapay, the departure point, where a pumboat will carry you to APO Island for a further 30 minutes. We’ll head to Turtle Point, where you may swim with turtles, pawikan, or simply observe them from the shore. Lunch is served at Liberty’s Resort or the quaint Apo Island Beach Resort. If you’re still up for the challenge, we’ll put you through a 30-minute hike to the Habagat Trail, where you’ll be rewarded with a sweeping panorama of the coastline and marine sanctuary. Swim, beachcomb, or simply relax at the white sand beach for the remainder of the day before returning to the mainland by mid-afternoon. We advise leaving early for APO on days when the waves are rough and choppy so you can get back to the mainland faster.
