ABOUT APO REEF:

• second largest contiguous reef in the world after the Great Barrier Reef and the largest in the country
• a series of coral reefs encompassing 34 square kilometers within the waters of Occidental Mindoro in the Philippines
• a government protected natural park
• has a shallow lagoon surrounded by mangrove forest which serves as source of food, nursery and spawning ground of several coastal and marine species of fauna and sanctuary of birds
• has a 35 meter lighthouse
• safe because it has a station on the island which is manned by rangers
ABOUT PANDAN ISLAND:
• included in the top 10 beaches in the Philippines
• an isolated tropical getaway off the coast of Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro
• main attraction is its immaculate stretch of white sand beach, whose pristine quality rivals even that of more celebrated Boracay. In fact, it offers the sand and water of Boracay without the crowds and dizzying array of gaudy resorts. The waters around the island are shallow and temperate, making it superb for leisurely swimming and snorkeling.
• you can experience swimming with the sea turtles (pawikans)
• you can also taste the exquisite foods (a mix of French and Philippine cuisine)
