In this vlog I visit Apo Island. One of the most amazing places to snorkel up close with turtles.

One of the best places to snorkel with turtles in the Philippines has to be Apo Island.

Located just off Negros Oriental, this island provides some awesome opportunities to film turtles up close. Snorkelling with turtles in Apo Island is one of the most popular things to do on the island. Whether you come for a day trip or stay overnight.

There are a number of accommodation options on Apo island from home stays to a couple of rustic resorts. This time I stayed at Liberty Lodge and Dive Resort. My previous stay here was at the Apo Island Beach Resort. I also checked out Mary’s home-stay on the island. The contact number for Mary’s Home stay is 0975 931 4058.

I had a walk through the village, and also walked to the view deck for some beautiful scenic views of Apo Island.

I booked directly with Liberty Lodged via their website, I couldn’t find rates on other 3rd party sites such as TripAdvisor. The resort was quite rustic and simple.

In this vlog I look at how to get to Apo Island from Dumuguete and the costs involved. Power (electricity) to the island is limited to a few hours. Liberty Lodge has power for 10 hours.
