Napaling Reef
Napaling
A snorkelling spot on the reef wall off the west coast of Panglao, where you can see a spectacular sardine run. Enter the water directly from the shore.
Napaling lies on the northwest coast of Panglao Island. Just beyond the rocky shore platform is a steep coral reef wall. Under the water, thousands of sardines often gather in a “bait ball,” and sea turtles are occasionally spotted. You can snorkel by entering from the metal ladder on the shore. The entry fee is about 50–100 pesos, and mask and life vest rentals are available. Currents can be strong at times, so weak swimmers should wear a life vest or go with a guide. It is about 20 minutes by car from Alona Beach.
