Snorkeling Palau and the Philippines!

Each departure is unique and hand-crafted to expose you to a diversity of marine habitats and the incredible snorkeling sites that can be found there. The first half of the tour takes place in scenic Bacuit Bay, El Nido, Palawan where dozens of towering marble/limestone islands set a dramatic backdrop to our snorkeling activities. These islands create a variety of marine habitats including sheltered reefs, pristine sea grass communities, and shallow coral gardens! In contrast, Palau offers a well-developed barrier reef system. We will snorkel sites at Ulong Channel and sites around the southern barrier reef such as Big Drop-off for the variety and abundance of tropical fish and German Channel to look for manta rays! We will also visit sites and locales inside the lagoon such as Jellyfish Lake, hidden reefs and lagoons of Nikko Bay, and many of the colorful coral gardens and habitats in the Rock Islands.

The usual disclaimer about weather and tides affecting the itinerary are only a bonus for us, since we use them to ensure we visit each site at the best times possible! Our snorkeling tour begins in Manila, Philippines and ends in Koror, Palau. There is one internal roundtrip flight (Manila – El Nido), and one, one-way international flight from Manila to Koror
