Top 6 Nature & Parks in Dasol, Luzon

Reviewed By rowenac616 - Dallas, United States

Best place to visit is early morning when waters are calm. The front part of the beach is the best place to snorkel with clear, warm water, live and beautiful corals, plenty colorful school of fishes . The sand is very fine, soft, creamy looking, beach is clean. Please pick up your own trash and don't leave any trace behind to preserve this beautiful place. Need to hire a private boat from one of the resorts in Dasol to go to Culebra Island. We stayed at Recudo 2 in Villa Balinmanok and Kuya Willy, the care taker of Recudo 2, arranged our Island hopping trip. We rented a covered table in Culebra Island. There is an environmental fee to get in like 20 pesos, I think per person. There is a portable, old fashioned rest room that is clean. There are at least 2 souvenir shops for Tshirts and limited snacks and refreshments. Make sure to bring plenty cold water or drinks, foods and snacks if you will stay all day. We only stayed from 7 am to 12 noon and that was more than enough for us to enjoy everything . We are a family of 15 ranging from adults , teenagers and children and all of us have fun . Don't forget to bring lots of Sunblock, shades, googles or snorkeling gear, underwater camera to capture all the corals, fishes and poses underwater. The back of Culebra Island has very strong wave and currents that can be very dangerous for children and for non-swimmers. We only stayed at the shore at the back of the Island and took lots of pictures away from the currents because of strong currents and waves. We used the life jackets the boat has provided us while we snorkel to stay safe. As always, stay Safe, use your common sense and good judgement. There are no lifeguards in duty at Culebra Island, swim and enjoy at your own risks.
