Working backwards as I mentioned in my previous post, on our third day in Dumaguete we went to Apo Island and spent more than half of the day there.
What is Apo Island? Apo Island is a small island off Dumaguete City. It's known for its pristine waters, snorkeling and dive spots, and the diverse marine life you can see without having to go far from the shore.
To get to Apo Island, you take a motorized bangka. There are bangkas that can seat a group of 4 or a group of 8. The rate per person's pretty affordable. We were able to rent our boat for Php 1,700 (that's Php 425/person). The bangka's driver will bring you to Apo Island and you just have to tell him what time to pick you up. Not bad, eh?
Anyway, this post will basically be full of pictures sharing with y'all the beauty of Apo Island. Actually, I think I need to go back because we weren't able to fully explore the place. We only stayed in the marine sanctuary area so we could go snorkeling and play with the fishies :)
