Secret Lagoon (Miniloc)
Secret Lagoon
A small lagoon hidden behind the cliffs on Miniloc Island, reached by squeezing through a small opening in a rock cave. A must-see on Island Hopping Tour A.
Secret Lagoon lies behind a white sand beach on Miniloc Island. The limestone wall has just one opening, about half a person's height, and you bend down to crawl through it into a shallow lagoon enclosed on all sides by cliffs, like a courtyard at the bottom of a well. It is part of Island Hopping Tour A, and during peak season the wait to enter the cave is often 20–30 minutes. The tour costs about ₱1,200–1,500 per person, including lunch. You must also pay the Eco-Tourism Development Fee (ETDF) of about ₱400, valid for 10 days. The rocks around the opening are sharp, so wear water shoes.
