Snorkeling in Moalboal on Cebu Island

Moalboal is a paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts. Where else you can step out of your resort, walk a couple of meter and explore one of the most spectacular coral reefs in the Philippines. The coral reef is located at a 10 km long 40-60 meter deep steep wall on the peninsula of Moalboal. There you can observe all kind of big and small fish. A huge variety of soft and hard corals are abundant. With a little bit luck and timing you can even encounter Whale Sharks. Sea turtle you can almost watch every time you get into the water.

Besides exploring the house riff you also rent a motor banka (boot with outrigger) and can even go to further away snorkel spots like Pescador Island and White Beach . Planet Action can help you to arrange a boot for a day or even longer periods. A costless, but not as flexible, alternative you can just join one of the daily schedule dive trips. The dive center collects a small fee for this.

If you don't have your own gears, you can rent or even buy snorkel, mask and fins for reasonable prices at some dive shops in Moalboal. Savedra Diving Center or Neptune Diving Adventure has a good quality selection on stock.
