Take a motorized outrigger
from the resort to get to the island's best-kept
secret: Tambobo Bay. A natural marina encompassed
by mangroves and bamboo, the bay is a haven
for more than two dozen sailboats and yachts
from all over the world. If preferred, cruises
can be timed for sunset, with cocktails served
onboard.
Antulang's shallow
corals are home to colorful clownfish, butterfly
fish, angel fish, eels, and the occasional octopus.
Discover how time flies when you put on that
snorkel pack and browse through the water! Note:
It's more fun to snorkel with a partner!
Whether alone or in
tandem, kayaking at Antulang is always fun.
For the more adventurous, exploring nearby Tambobo
Bay by kayak has proved an even more exhilarating
experience!
To quote an eager
participant, rappeling is "all about conquering
your fears." Easier said than done when
it's your turn to go down that cliff with the
20-meter drop, albeit a picturesque 20-meter
drop! But seriously, our guide says the rope
can hold up to 4 tons, so it's worth at least
one try!
With a thoroughbred
(Siaton's Best), a Morgan (Lightning) and 2
native ponies (1997 and Small One) to choose
from, we urge our guests to have a go at horseback
riding, either around the resort, at the beach
or to a nearby hill peppered with boulders and
fossilized giant clams. Seasoned trail riders
will be glad to know we use western saddles
built for comfort and safety.
Let the resort's luxurious trimaran Annabelle Lee take you on a cruise to one of the island's best-kept secrets: Tambobo Bay. A natural marina encompassed by mangroves and bamboo, the bay is a haven for more than two dozen sailboats and yachts from all over the world. Up the romance factor by timing your cruise at sunset, with cocktails served onboard. Or better yet--arrange for a cozy dinner for two as you wait for the rising of a full moon!
Located 5 kilometers
off the southeast coast of Negros Island, 72-hectare
Apo Island has been lauded as southeast Asia's
most successful marine sanctuary. A divers'
paradise, Apo's residents are vigilant when
it comes to protecting their sanctuary, so diving
with gloves are not allowed to discourage touching
of corals. Started by Silliman University of
Dumaguete City, the marine reserve program is
now a prototype for neighboring Asian countries
like Vietnam.
Two hours north from Antulang is Bais
City, now famous for its dolphin watching tours
done mostly by the very fishermen who used to
hunt them for a living. From Bais Bay, a short
ride on a large motorized outrigger takes you
to Tañon Strait, a natural habitat for
numerous species of dolphins and if you're lucky,
migratory pygmy killer whales. Best done between
the months of March to November, head for the
boat's bow and dangle your legs---you'll have
dolphins literally at your feet!
