After 40 years guarded by the local islanders, the island has blossomed into one of the top dive sites in the Philippines. Sea turtles of several varieties, along with many varieties of both hard and soft corals, as well as humongous fields of table corals await.

Here you will find locals trading livestock, fish, exotic fruits and vegetables, or enjoy a snack and beer while sitting on the beach. (Market operates on Wednesdays). 

Looking for something a little more exhilarating then a trip to Twin Lakes will be perfect for you! There are only two routes to get here either with a 4x4 vehicle or dirt bikes. While here, you can go kayaking on the clear waters. As you paddle quietly around the sparkling lake, you’ll see and hear many wild birds; go fishing with lines and hooks for tilapia and carp in the lake and mountain climbing to get an aerial view of the Twin Lakes, which are only separated by a narrow ridge. In these surrounding forests you’ll see rare flowers, orchids, and birds. Stay overnight – either in the cottage or in tents. You can also do a Quad Bike Tour which is a 3-hour tour where you will visit the natural hot springs in Baslay. The trip starts with a 10 minute drive from the resort to the ATV shop and an orientation to the bikes and safety procedures.

Relax for half an hour, then climb down the 240 steps to a naturally formed hot sulfur spring and waterfalls. Local snacks and the refreshing local buko juice (young coconut) are available.
