Marine Park
About This Attraction
The Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is a marine sanctuary located in the Sulu Sea, off the coast of Palawan, Philippines. It is known for its rich biodiversity and stunning underwater landscapes. The park consists of two large atolls and a smaller reef, home to hundreds of species of fish, coral, and other marine life. Due to its remote location, visiting Tubbataha requires careful planning and coordination with authorized tour operators.
Access to the Tubbataha Reefs is typically limited to certain months of the year, with opening hours determined by weather conditions. Visitors can explore the reefs from liveaboard boats, which offer multi-day trips to this protected area. The park is best visited between mid-March and mid-June when diving conditions are optimal. Always verify current regulations and guidelines before planning a trip to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
