Cloud 9 is the Philippines’ surf poster child—a right-hand reef break that can be glassy and playful or heaving and hollow, with a wooden boardwalk for front-row viewing. Around it, a constellation of reefs and sandbars serves every level, from mellow peelers to punchier walls.
Canyoneering here is a playful, blue-green obstacle course carved by the Matutinao River: wading through jade pools, sliding down natural chutes, and leaping from limestone ledges into clear basins. The route threads through lush jungle and sculpted gorges, ending at the photogenic tiers of Kawasan Falls.
Donsol pioneered non-provisioned whale shark interactions, focusing on strict guidelines that respect natural behavior. Boats search for surface signs and position swimmers at a respectful distance, letting the animal set the tone rather than feeding or corralling.
In Moalboal, a living sardine “storm” pulses just meters from shore—millions of fish moving as one, morphing between silver ribbons and dense spheres. It’s mesmerizing whether you’re snorkeling, freediving, or scuba—accessible, affordable, and endlessly watchable.
The Philippines’ WWII wrecks are underwater time capsules—steel giants now draped in soft corals and home to schools of batfish, snapper, and macro critters. Penetration-trained divers can explore cargo holds and passageways, while non-penetration routes still offer dramatic silhouettes and rich marine life.
