Things to
Do in the Apo Island
- Visiting
the Sanctuary
The Apo Island is a protected area, declared by the Government
of the Philippines. Upon arrival at the island it is good for
you to visit the Apo Island Protected Landscape/Seascape Office.
Before you enter, entrance fee is required.
You can try snorkeling and diving at the marine sanctuary. For
diving, no additional fee is required, as its being paid for already
by the dive centers. Pay to the cashier on the kiosk, you should
only pay to her and an Official Receipt will be issued to you
instantly.
The
entrance fees that you paid will be used for the salary of twenty
local persons that patrol the ocean to prevent illegal activities,
such as fishing and destructions on the sanctuaries. The Marine
Sanctuary is located at Barangay Apo Island, Dauin, Negros Oriental
near the church of Apo Island.

- Underwater
diving with Jacks
It is such
a great and wonderful experience when you are doing the underwater
dive at the Cogon point. You are pretty sure to pass through a
shoal of thousands of Big Eyed Jacks - a pretty big fish.
These
fishes are not afraid of you so expect and experience the close
encounter with these unique species.

The
walk up into the lighthouse is another way to spend some time,
the way going up there is not easy, if you want to go up to the
top of the island and see the light house it is better for you
to wear jeans or something else that will protect you from scratches.
There
are some people there living on the top of the mountain, they
come down to the village rarely, living a simple life there, but
just thinking about living with a beautiful view like that makes
it all worth it being there.
The
view from the top is overwhelming, as you can see the beauty of
the sea, and the feeling is great and incomparable.
