Sumilon Island
Sumilon Island has an area of 24 hectares and considered as one of the most popular diving spot in Visayas because of its magnificent underwater view. It is surrounded by crystal clear waters with an astonishing collection of marine flora and fauna. Years ago, the corals were damaged by the Muro Ami fishermen using dynamite fishing. Now, it has become one of the many visited marine sanctuaries in the Philippines, thus making Muro Ami just a part of the history.

Diving in Sumilon Sanctuary
Sumilon Island, which means “to take refuge”, would surely entice your Island tour! Superb coral gardens offer a very interesting and splendid dive. Here, you can find manta rays, barracudas, sea turtles, and whale sharks. Hammerhead sharks are also occasional visitors.

Island Hopping!!!!
Pristine white sand beaches are situated in different areas of Sumilon Island. The water is absolutely crystal clear. You can have as many options as you want, you can have one romantic picnic for two, a boat tour, or try scuba diving. If you’re tired and sleepy, there’s always a room for you alright but you can and may try sleeping on the beach under a blanket of stars. Another thing that would impress you is the sandbar. It is well known for its changing shapes and shifting locations around the island.
