1. APO DIVING SAFARI - (Part of Dauin, Negros Oriental)

Apo Island is the best diving destination in the Visayas. Only four metres from the beach, the dive shop is perfect for you to get the most out of your diving holiday. It is part of town of Dauin, 25 km south of Dumaguete City, the provincial capital. From Dumaguete’s Silliman Beach, you can go directly to Apo on a two-hour pumpboat ride. Or you can go down first to Dauin or the next town of Zamboanguita, and from there take a 30-45 minute trip to the island via motorized outrigger. Apo Island is one of the Worlds best known Community Organized Marine Sanctuary's, and as such it has been well documented, by the Global science community. The project was started in 1982. It is home to over 650 documented species of fish and estimated to have over 400 species of corals.



2. ANTULANG ACTIVITIES - Antulang Diving (Siation, Negros Oriental)




Manta rays, hawksbill turtles, groupers and a multitude of marine life await the most discriminating diver. Our night dives come highly recommended--guests swear it's like diving in your very own private aquarium!


Antulang Snorkeling


Strip of white pebble beaches between Zamboanguita and Siaton; interesting rock formations on the beach; clear waters and underwater scenery ideal for snorkeling. 

Antulang Kayaking


Whether alone or in tandem, kayaking at Antulang is always fun. For the more adventurous, exploring nearby Tambobo Bay by kayak has proved an even more exhilarating experience!

Antulang Fishing


Drop a line from the resort's Sandbar, and you're almost sure to get an eel or a triggerfish. But our more determined guests go out and rent boats from passing fishermen, coming back with sunburns from hell and a whopper of a story--sometimes, with the catch to match it!


Antulang Rappeling


To quote an eager participant, rappeling is "all about conquering your fears." Easier said than done when it's your turn to go down that cliff with the 20-meter drop, albeit a picturesque 20-meter drop! But seriously, our guide says the rope can hold up to 4 tons, so it's worth at least one try!


Antulang Horseback Riding


With a thoroughbred (Siaton's Best), a Morgan (Lightning) and 2 native ponies (1997 and Small One) to choose from, we urge our guests to have a go at horseback riding, either around the resort, at the beach or to a nearby hill peppered with boulders and fossilized giant clams. Seasoned trail riders will be glad to know we use western saddles built for comfort and safety.
