Apo Reef

I already revealed my Five Best Dives and Five Best Beaches of 2010, it is now time to divulge the new places and spots that top my  list last year. These are the places I have never been before that struck me the most in 2010.

Lakwatsero’s Best New Destinations of 2010

Apo Reef, Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro

June – The lighthouse, the great view of sunset, the white sand beach and the best snorkeling ever – Apo Reef was more than what we asked for our last hurrah for summer. Have you tried snorkeling with sharks, sea turtles and other marine species below you? We have tried it in Apo Reef!

Caramoan, Camarines Sur

March – Blessed with strips of amazing white sand island beaches and limestone cliffs, Caramoan was worth the long travel. Camping overnight in one of the most photographed views of the island group was a fun and unforgettable experience.

El Nido, Palawan

June – A dream destination for most, El Nido is indeed a paradise. Diving and touring around Bacuit Bay proved me why it is an ultimate travel destination.

Lake Sebu, South Cotabato

October – The place is not only about the lake because it is also home to seven waterfalls. Zipping above these waterfalls is the best way to see them all.

Bacolod, Negros Occidental

September – Cliche as it is but the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and because of that, I fell in love with Bacolod.

There you go! New spots, new places, new discoveries and a lot of fun. I will definitely go back to these places.

Next list would be Five Best Adventures of 2010.

Thanks again for following 🙂

  1. Diving in El Nido is fun! I recommend Plankton Divers at Corong-Corong and with booking office beside the town PNP office. Maria (dive master) and Kaka (dive instructor) will take you to best dive sites. There is a tunnel at Helicopter island. Diving there is great. Commandos and Miniloc are also good sites.

    Plankton Divers also offer dive courses where you can get your C-Card right after taking the course. View their website at http://www.planktondivers.com or email them at [email protected] or add on your FB.

    Make your vacation the best this year!

  3. Nice list Angel, I have been to Pandan Island in Mindoro before, another gateway to Apo Reef, kung marunong lang ako mag-dive, pinuntahan ko na rin, but I was happy snorkeling with the turtles too and the rich marine species in Mindoro :)looking forward to visit Lake Sebu someday.
