While road conditions have improved, it’s crucial to prioritize safety, especially considering occasional mixtures of dirt and concrete roads, along with steep slopes. Additionally, gas stations aren’t plentiful, so monitor your fuel gauge closely to avoid unexpected stops.

Swim with Dugongs

Dugongs, once mistaken for mermaids, are herbivorous marine mammals found in warm coastal waters spanning from the western Pacific Ocean to the eastern coast of Africa. Often dubbed as sea cows, these gentle creatures bear a striking resemblance to their pleasantly plump cousin, the manatee. Regrettably, factors like fishing-related incidents, habitat degradation, and hunting have pushed the species to the brink of extinction.

Fortunately, several organizations have initiated conservation initiatives to combat the rapid decline of Dugongs. Notably, Dugongs became the first marine mammals protected in the Philippines, where they still inhabit the waters of Northern Busuanga.

For those keen on witnessing these serene creatures, the eco-conscious Dugong Dive Center in North Busuanga serves as an ideal starting point. Comprising environmentalists and members of the Philippines Coast Guard Auxiliary, this team provides a unique opportunity to observe Dugongs in their natural habitat up close.

The eco-tourism program “Dugong Watching“ with the Dugong Dive Center locate North of Busuanga on El Rio Y Mar Resort in Maricaban Bay, is a full-day excursion to several feeding grounds along the Busuanga coast line and two turtle islands for skin and scuba divers. If a dugong is spotted (they surface every 4 to 5 minutes), you can watch the animal first from the boat (like whale watching) then approach the dugong by snorkelling and if the dugong doesn’t shy off, on Scuba. Dugong Dive Center always offer the divers two dives on a small coral garden and sea grass bed with all its glitters.

Dugong Dive Center has been working with international documentary crews, photographers, conservationists, biologists, etc. over the years to educate people about this wonderful but endangered species.

Calauit Safari Park

Calauit Island stands out as an exceptional destination teeming with diverse African wildlife, boasting an array of species such as zebras, giraffes, impalas, gazelles, bushbucks, eland, waterbucks, and tobis. This unique ecosystem traces its roots back to the 1970s when President Ferdinand Marcos orchestrated the relocation of these animals from Kenya to prevent their extinction. To accommodate their new inhabitants, the indigenous population – Tagbanwa, was resettled to another island, and the landscape was transformed into a savannah-like habitat through forest clearing efforts.

Presently, these African creatures flourish on Calauit Island, coexisting harmoniously with native Philippine species like the mouse deer, bear cat, Palawan peacock pheasant, sea turtles, and Philippine crocodiles. This remarkable sanctuary offers visitors a rare opportunity to witness the fascinating interplay between exotic African wildlife and indigenous Philippine fauna in a captivating natural setting.
