Itinerary
Glide over Coron’s crystal-clear shallows to Turtle Island, a protected sanctuary where green sea turtles feed on seagrass in calm, shallow water. After a short safety and etiquette briefing, join your guide for an easy snorkel to observe turtles in their natural habitat—no touching, no chasing, just respectful, up-close encounters. Small-group timing, spotter guides, and provided life vests make it relaxed and beginner-friendly. Wildlife sightings are likely but never guaranteed; conditions and schedules may adjust for weather to keep the experience safe and responsible.
