Overview
Apo Reef, located off the coast of Occidental Mindoro in the Philippines, is the second-largest contiguous coral reef system in the world and the largest in Southeast Asia. This protected marine sanctuary spans over 34 square kilometers and is part of the Apo Reef Natural Park, a haven for divers, snorkelers, and nature enthusiasts. Its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral gardens, and abundant marine life make it a bucket-list destination for eco-travelers and cruise guests seeking a rare underwater paradise.
Beyond its aquatic allure, Apo Reef offers a tranquil escape from the bustle of urban life. The surrounding islands, including Apo Island and nearby Calintaan, feature white-sand beaches, mangrove forests, and scenic viewpoints ideal for photography and birdwatching. Whether you're arriving by cruise or chartered boat, the reef’s untouched beauty and biodiversity promise a day of exploration, relaxation, and awe.
