2 and 3-Day Apo Reef Snorkeling Tours
Apo Reef is an ecologically significant natural attraction in the Philippines, and according to UNESCO, since 2006, it’s the 2nd largest coral reef system in the world and is a protected natural park due to its rich biodiversity and environmental importance.
Apo Reef is situated in the waters of the Mindoro Strait, approximately 33 kilometers (20.5 miles) off the western coast of Occidental Mindoro province in the Philippines. It’s also close to the island of Busuanga. Apo Reef is divided into two main coral reefs: Apo Island reef and Apo Menor (Minor) reef. Apo Island reef is the larger of the two reefs and covers an area of around 34 square kilometers, thus making it the world’s second-largest contiguous coral reef. Apo Menor is a much smaller reef located about 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) southwest of Apo Island.
