Malapascua Island

Malapascua Island is a small tropical island located in the Visayan Sea in the north of Cebu, Philippines. This island is an ultimate gem for adventurers and nature-lovers; its beautiful beaches are scattered with colorful coral gardens, where crystal clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkeling and diving up to 25 meters. The most popular attraction at Malapascua Island is the Monad Shoal, the world's only known regular site of thresher shark sightings. A shallow dive is enough to spot the unforgettable thresher shark, sea turtles, manta rays and even occasional whale sharks. During low-tide you can explore the white sand-bar at Bounty Beach, where you get to bask in the sunshine, enjoy nice views and hunt for seashells. Malapascua Island is also known for its Filipino hospitality, gorgeous luxury resorts and wide array of delicious seafood.
