Want to know what it feels like to swim with sea turtles? Apo Island is the perfect place to experience it. This volcanic island covers 12 hectares and is located at the southeastern tip of Negros Oriental. It is famous for having one of the best marine sanctuaries in the world, attracting both local and international diving enthusiasts. Keep in mind, electricity is available for only three hours a day, and there’s no Wi-Fi except at one hotel. On our second day in Negros Oriental, we visited Apo Island early in the morning. We left Harold’s Mansion at 5:30 a.m. to have a quick breakfast at McDonald’s before heading to the Ceres terminal for the municipality of Zamboanguita.
