5 Ways to Plunge into the Waters of the Philippine Islands

There are more ways than one to enjoy the waters that surround the 7,107 Philippine islands, from spending your holiday in a beachfront Bohol accommodation, to riding the waves of Samar Read on and discover ways to enjoy Philippine waters.

1. Dive to see the Tubbataha Reef

Deep in the Sulu Sea and southeast of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, the Tubbataha Reef is home to over 1000 species of marine animals. Put on that diving suit and swim with them as they go in and out of their brightly colored and nicely crafted homes. Don't forget to bring with you your underwater camera, because you will want to see this kind of beauty over and over again even long after you get out of the water.

2. Trek to the Taal Volcano Crater Lake

Not everyone can say, “I've been on the crater of the world's smallest active volcano.” Well, now you can. All you have to do is find the best deal for a Taal Volcano trip online, buy yourself a pair of reliable shoes and prepare to be in awe at the sight of the calm azure water lying at the center of the volcano. Ah, the ironies of life.

3. Surf in Calicoan Island, Samar

Located in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, Calicoan Island boasts of perfectly curled waves which kiss the white sand beaches in the months between May and November. You can choose to put up tents and just camp on the sand. Or, if you prefer to just lay your back on a comfortable bed after a tiring day of surfing in this serene Samar island, you can rent a luxurious cottage.

4. “Wake-up” in Camarines Sur

Visit the Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC) in Camarines Sur, the country's hottest location for wakeboarding, wakeskating, and waterskiing. It has been a home to international wakeboarding competitions, but you don't have to be a competitor to enjoy these sports.

5. Dine and cruise on Loboc River


After all that adventure, you can just sit and relax on one of the well-loved cruise rafts running along the Loboc River in in the province of Bohol. Feast your eyes on the beauty of this tranquil river as you gorge on yummy Philippine delicacies served to you with a smile.
