Apo Island is a 40-minute boat voyage from Zamboanga, Philippines, off the southeastern coast of Negros. A 30-minute motorized boat journey from the community of Malatapay, Zamboanga to Negros Oriental, will take you there. Because of the island's incredible marine life, Apo Island snorkeling and diving is the most popular activity. Apo is the epicenter of marine biodiversity, with colorful soft coral beds in the shallows and massive gorgonian sea fans. In the shallows, scores of protected green and hawksbill turtles can be spotted. Huge schools of jacks, groupers, and fusiliers are also present. #bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

The island of Apo is located near the Dain area in Dumaguete, Philippines. It takes about half an hour to get a crab boat from the pier in Dauin. It takes about half an hour by car from Dumaguete City to Dain District. The most famous of apo island is the sea turtle. You can see a lot of snorkeling. The dive shop in Dumaguete City can report a day trip to apo island. The package is divided into snorkeling package and deep dive package. The snorkeling package is about 1000P for one person, including transportation to and from the Duma and Dain, a day trip to the sea, snorkeling tools, and lunch. The shallow package is charged according to the number of dive trips. It generally has a dive 1500P, two dive 2800P, and a three dive 3300p. It also provides round-trip transportation, diving equipment and lunch. Under the temptation of price, we finally chose three dive. (Exchange rate 1 HKD 7 peso) apo Island's underwater environment is very good, the first dive we have seen turtles and many cute little sea rabbits, a big rule of diving in the sea is, do not touch and disturb Those marine life, while protecting them, are also protecting themselves. The second dive dive site before the dive, the coach told us that there will be ocean currents underneath, and that if we have to deal with the currents at high speed, I just want to say that when I encounter the flow, I kick and kick my waist. To break, if you want to experience the currents of the diver, you can try it. The third dive is leisure diving. I saw a lot of sea turtles, different varieties, and many beautiful corals.

## We signed up for the APO Island Day Tour project in the dive shop in advance, and the owner asked us to go in the morning 6

#springitinerary You haven’t truly experienced Myanmar until you’ve: 1 Eaten prawns the size of your face 2 Bargained with Indonesian smugglers 3 Watched the sunset over three countries at once Welcome to Kawthoung - where the Andaman Sea meets jungle-clad islands and the rules are… flexible. 🌊 First Impressions The air hits you first - salt, diesel, and that unmistakable fish market tang. Longtail boats painted rainbow colors bob in the harbor, while motorbikes weave around piles of dried squid. Across the water? Thailand’s Ranong winking at you. 🤣 The “I Accidentally Joined A Pirate Party” Moment At a floating seafood shack, I ordered grilled crab. Next thing I knew: • A Thai fisherman challenged me to karaoke • Someone handed me a bottle of Myanmar rum (tastes like fire) • We all sang Hotel California in 4 languages badly Pro tip: If someone offers you “special coffee,” it’s 50% caffeine, 50% mystery. 🦀 Foodie Heaven Breakfast was Kawthoung’s famous fish head curry - rich, coconutty, and served with rice so fluffy it’s basically a cloud. Secret spot: The night market stall with no sign that does chili crab fried rice - look for the grandma with gold teeth. 💎 Hidden Gem: The Abandoned British Hotel Everyone goes to Victoria Point. Cool kids sneak into:
✔ A crumbling 1920s colonial hotel being eaten by vines
✔ Rooftop views of Myanmar/Thailand/sea
✔ Local teens drinking Red Bull cocktails (don’t ask) ⏳ Weekend Itinerary (Pirate Chic Edition) Day 1: Island Hopping • 7:00 AM: Longtail to Shark Island (no sharks, promise) • 10:00 AM: Snorkel with neon fish at 115 Island • 1:00 PM: Beachside BBQ (prawns, squid, icy Myanmar beer) • 5:00 PM: Sunset cocktails at the border marker Day 2: Town Adventures • 8:00 AM: Burmese dim sum at the Chinese teahouse • 11:00 AM: Black market browsing (Thai cosmetics, fake Ray-Bans) • 3:00 PM: Explore the British ruins (ghost hunt optional) • 7:00 PM: Seafood feast with smuggled Thai whiskey 💡 Survival Tips ✔ Bring USD (better exchange than kyat)
✔ Waterproof bag (those longtails are splashy)
✔ Learn “Bao bao!” (“Delicious!” in local slang) Kawthoung doesn’t do postcards. It does smuggled whiskey, impromptu karaoke, and sunsets that’ll ruin you for anywhere else. 🏴☠️ #PirateLife

Had a great dive experience in this island and stayed for few days the locals around were friendly and approachable:), the island population is only 1,000+. Highschool students not more than 100 and elementary students 300+- The island has only 3 homestay to choose if you want to stay longer. #travel #Aporeef #naturalwonders #seascapes #thingstodo #beachlife #diving #turtles #mantarays

Famous for its turtles Under the guidance of the coach Turtles are almost always seen when scuba diving or snorkeling They are swimming around, super healing 🪸Coral reef area The marine life sanctuary here has more than 300 species of coral and more than 600 species of marine animals. Various coral reefs and tropical fish form a colorful underwater world Beautiful Diving precautions 🚫Protect the marine environment: Do not touch or damage coral reefs and marine life Do not feed turtles Avoid using sunscreen that is harmful to the ocean ⚠Safety first Follow the coach's instructions Dive according to your ability Do a physical examination Controlling dive time and depth Ascend slowly when ascending Island life experience 🍽Food There is an open-air restaurant on the island Supplies are limited, consumption is high, and seafood is fresh Enjoy local specialties 🏠Accommodation Accommodation available on the island But the conditions are relatively primitive Some hotels do not have hot water Power supply only 6 hours a day Experience the original island life

Dauin, not far from Cebu is a paradise for divers. The reefs are so close that after renting dive gear from the hotel you can just wade into the water from the sandy beach.

After 8 years, I set foot in Dumaguete again. This time I stayed at Infinity. The hotel is very new and has complete facilities. The most important thing is that the diving spot is right in front of the hotel, and it is also very close to Apo Island. I will stay here next time
