From Malatapay market, the boat to Apo Island is right there 🙂  So though it was raining, we waited for it to stop and until the coast guard gave a go signal for us to leave
 Not really a smooth ride, but bearable 🙂 Â
 The first part of our trip, we were only two families 🙂  So happy to be with Newts, Mish, Enzo and Sophia
 Approaching Apo, you will see this resort, Apo Island Beach resort.  Looks nice 🙂Â
 And there is this 🙂  upon arrival
The marine habitat in Apo Island, Dauin, Negros Oriental, is a marine reserve
This is why I think aqua socks may be better because of slippery stones and sharp rocks, though you need to be cautious always when walking – this is advice for city girls like me 🙂  and of course for kids who are not used to roughing it out like my kids haha 🙂
 You need to go to the main office and register and pay the fees before you snorkel or dive
Plenty stones but anyway you use your boat to go and snorkel
The Baluarte rock formation which is a very popular landmark in Apo Island
We went a few meters away from the shore and snorkeledÂ
We did not have underwater cameras so we do not have photos of the turtles or pawikans.
 There are many here in this island.  The time we were there, they saw a few.  It was habagat season already end of June.  Not really an ideal time to go but we had no choice due to the kids vacation schedule.  We also prefer not too have too many people – true enough we had the island all to ourselves 🙂  Â
Going back to Malatapay with a beautiful view
