Dumaguete tour – Apo Island snorkeling tour overview
Discover one of the Philippines’ top snorkeling spots at Apo Island! From Dumaguete, enjoy a scenic 30-minute drive to Malatapay, your jump-off point to the island. A traditional pump boat ride (30–45 minutes) will then take you across the Bohol Sea to reach Apo Island’s crystal-clear waters.
Upon arrival, you’ll head straight to Turtle Point, where you can snorkel alongside gentle sea turtles (pawikan) or simply observe them from the shoreline.
After your underwater adventure, a delicious lunch will be served at Liberty’s Lodge or the charming Apo Island Beach Resort.
Feeling adventurous? Hike the Habagat Trail for around 30 minutes to enjoy a panoramic view of the island’s rugged coastline and protected marine sanctuary. After the trek, you can swim, relax, or stroll along the powdery white sand beach before heading back to the mainland by mid-afternoon.
Important Note: On days with strong waves (especially during the Habagat season from November to February), we recommend an earlier departure to ensure a safer and smoother crossing back.
