The Philippines - Renowned for the Diversity of its Marine Wildlife


The Philippines is one of the best countries in the world when it comes to its diversity of wildlife, no more so than beneath its warm waters.

The country is a magnet for diving enthusiasts, and, such is the wealth of marine creatures, the beaches of its numerous islands are favoured by swimmers and snorkelers too. 




Whale Sharks

Visitors are keen to experience whale sharks, and although these can be found all around the Philippines, they are particularly predominate at Oslob, Cebu, (where they congregate all year round), and at Donsol, Bicol, where the season is between November and May.

Whale Shark Interaction - Good or Bad?


Dolphin-Spotting

Around Bohol and Negros islands taking boat trips scouting for whales and dolphins is a popular excursion. The boatmen are skilled at spotting these creatures and tiling amongst them.




Turtles and other Marine Species

Turtles are another species wide-spread, and favoured spots for experiencing these creatures include Apo Island, (near Dumaguete), Port Barton, (Palawan), and Balicasag Island (off Bohol). Delve beneath the waves of the Philippines oceans and see much more besides.
