Hilutungan Island

Hilutungan Island is a popular snorkeling destination located a short boat ride from Mactan, Philippines. Known for its vibrant coral reefs and diverse fish populations, the island provides a comfortable snorkeling experience even for beginners, with depths ranging from 10-20 feet. Boats do not dock directly on the island to protect the coral, and snorkelers enter the water directly from the boat. Buoys delineate shallow areas to further safeguard the reef. While the natural beauty is a major draw, visitors should be aware of vendors offering goods and services at inflated prices.
