The best spot in the Philippines

Underwater Cave in Puerto Galera

There is an activity in Puerto Galera that is popular and frequented by tourists. This is the Underwater Cave in San Antonio. Among the many beautiful beaches in the area, this is one that will not be missing from people’s bucket lists.

It has very clear green sea water and is surrounded by huge rocks. You will see in this place the most natural nature that will amaze you with its beauty.

When I first saw the Under Water Cave, my heart was filled with joy because it was so beautiful. I have been to this cave pool three times, I never get tired of visiting the place even though it is a bit far from the city where I live.

How do we get there

• From Manila we went with a friend of ours who has his own car to Puerto Galera. We used waze app so we can monitor the area without obstacles. ” travel time 3 hr 35 min ”
• When we arrived in Puerto, we looked for our hotel to stay at, it was the Scandi Divers Puerto Galera, its distance from the cave was only 1.8 miles.

I did not regret staying at this hotel because it is close to the sea and has Poolside rooms. Each of their rooms is super cool and clean so you can sleep comfortably. They also feature small beach cottages and 1 to 3 bedroom Waterfront Suites.

The hotel has two beach side restaurants serving delicious meals. If you love coffee, you can taste Starbucks coffee here.

You don’t have to go far to find expensive coffee. The price range at the hotel is ₱3,699.00 to ₱4,463.0. This is only based on the Average Rates for a Standard Room

One of the exciting things is that they have PADI and NAUI dive instruction, it is between Scandi Divers Resort and Campbell’s Beach, which is 50 meters away.

Underwater Cave in Puerto Galera

Now let’s go back to our topic Underwater Cave. The next day we went to this cave because we were very tired when we arrived at the place. When we got there, we first looked for the room we booked online and put all our things in the room to eat at a nearby restaurant.

The next day we woke up early to have breakfast. The boat we booked leaves at 10am so after eating we left to go Island Hopping

We left early so the place wouldn’t be too hot.

I just remind those who want to go to the Underwater Cave that you have to wear non-slip sleepers because the rocks here are big and sharp that hurt your feet when you step on them.

The first thing we did was go snorkeling before visiting the Underwater Cove. We didn’t spend too much time here because we still went to some islands. Very nice guys, the water in the cave is not very deep.

I can’t picture the other island we went to ahaha I’m thrilled with the views I see.

After we picked up the islands we went home. We felt hungry when we were going home to the hotel where we were staying.

The views at the restaurant we ate at were beautiful. It’s good to eat here not only because the food is delicious but also because of the ambiance.

We didn’t take a shower because we were going to swim as much as we wanted because we were going home early from Manila the next day.

I had such a fun vacation in Puerto Galera that I think I’ll be back next year:) Thanks for reading my blog.
