Coral Garden
A shallow snorkeling site that is a must-stop on island-hopping tours. The water is only a few meters deep, and coral and schools of tropical fish are clearly visible.
Coral Garden is a shallow area near the entrance of Puerto Galera Bay, with dense patches of hard and soft coral. Clownfish, butterflyfish and damselfish are common, making it a classic snorkeling stop on island-hopping trips. These tours often also visit sandbars, Hallihi Beach and hidden coves. Boat charters cost about 1,500 to 3,000 pesos, depending on boat size and negotiation, and trips depart from White Beach or Sabang. While snorkeling, do not step on the coral, and use reef-safe sunscreen.
