Apo Island in Dumaguete

2008-01-20, Dumaguete City, Philippines

Previous | All | Next

 
  

In Dumaguete City lies a tiny island, called Apo Island, which offers something far more adventurous. Cliffs of limestone circumscribe this Apo Island. These cliffs are towering and have an average height of 20 meters. Since the limestone cliffs are stable, they are perfect spots for climbing.

The Apo Island has a land area of 12 hectares. The terrain is hilly but the Apo Island Beach Resort, formerly known as the Kan-Upe Cove Resort, has spectacular dive sites and eight honeymoon cottages. The dive sites boast of astounding gardens of corals and amazing marine life.

Orient Wind Travel and Tours made the tour possible for our group. During the trip, we were together with a couple from Netherlands plus Richard, our Dutch diver guide.
