The Calamianes Islands

The Calamianes islands include Coron, Sangat, Busuanga, and Culion.

Coron Island

This beautiful part of The Philippines is popular with divers and explorers with various watersports and excursions available. (Strangely, Coron Town is to be found on Busuanga Island.)

Coron Island is best known for the eight out of twelve Japanese supplies shipwrecks that were sunk by the United States Navy during a massive air bombing campaign during World War 2. These ships were sunk at depths of 10 to 43 meters and some of the wrecks are 160 meters in length, with most of the ships still intact (a dive at the Irako Wreck, a Japanese refrigeration ship reveals pots and pans in its galley).

The water is incredibly clear and perfect that you'd be able to spot different species of fish like the yellow fin tuna, groupers, scorpion fish and lionfish. Beautiful corals and more fish inhabit other wrecks like the Okikawa Maru, Akitsushima, Kogyo Maru, and the Olympia Maru amongst others.

Sangat Island

Sangat Island, part of the Calamiane Island group in the north of Palawan, has become the home and safe-haven to many species of fantastically-colored tropical birds – many of which are endemic to the greater Palawan region.

A number of these feathered species are frequently spotted in and around Sangat Resort. Quite possibly the most recognizable of the feathered island family is the Palawan Hornbill. Additional feathered varieties are easily found throughout the island's interior environments.

Sangat Island is located right amonst the World War II wrecks, and is one of The Philippines' premier diving destinations. If your interst in birdwatching is coupled with a love for marine life and diving, this is the destination for you!

Busuanga boasts a staggering array of magnificent seascapes, jaw-dropping scenery and world-class wreck diving‚ - virtually a platter of adventure for the intrepid.

The island province has been declared a nature sanctuary of the world and for good reason. It is wrapped in a mantel of rainforests, outstanding dive sites, majestic mountains, primeval caves and shimmering beaches. It bursts with exotic flora and fauna and is surrounded by a coral shelf that abounds with varied and colourful marine life.

The long narrow strip of the main island, located southwest of Manila, is around 425 kilometres long and 40 kilometres at its widest.

On both sides of a backbone of tall mountain ranges, an irregular coastline meanders in intervals of vertical limestone cliff and sweeping white sand. This unique topography provides a wealth of diversity.

The Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary

The Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary has evolved to become a home of important Philippine endemic and exotic wildlife from Africa.

Calauit Special Project started in 1997 with the introduction of eight species on an experimental basis to see whether the movement of African wildlife from a subtropical to tropical habitat would succeed.

Eventually, 104 different exotic animal species composed of giraffe, eland, zebra, impala, bushbuck, gazelle and waterbuck arrived in the island.

After 24 years, the number has increased dramatically except for gazelle and topi, and is now in existence with some endemic and endangered Philippine wildlife.
