This is Siquijor’s oldest marine sanctuary, so it’s very well preserved, plus you can snorkel with huge schools of barracuda!

It feels like a proper reef experience (corals, turtles, and heaps of fish) without the tourist circus you get in other places.

You must go with a tour guide, though, you can’t go on your own. It’s an extra fee of ₱250 per 2 people
