Ride a jeepney to Tukuran falls, stopping for photo opps, then trek or ride a carabao pulled oxcart to the falls. Cross rivers and drink fresh coconut milk. Cool down in the rock pool before enjoying a tasty BBQ lunch with tropical fruits. Just a perfect day...This coastal town is well known among
tourists for its numerous pocket
beaches and many snorkeling and Scuba
diving spots. The area was designated a
Man and Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO in
1973 and has some of the most diverse
coral reef diving in Asia. The marine
environment has benefited in recent
years from the influx of tourist
dollars. This has seen a huge reduction
in the number of fishermen in the area,
as they gain higher revenue from
tourists.

development. New restaurants and places
to stay are rapidly encroaching on the

large central catholic church and a
Pier area, with a selection of bistros
