Travel: Marine Sanctuary in Olango Island



How to get there:

Ride a jeepney from Hiway going to Engano. Fare is Php15.00. Ask the driver to drop you at Hilton, now known as Movenpick Hotel. Beside hilton is the port going to Olango Island. From the port, you need to pay Php15.00 for the fare to Olango and Php5.00 for the port entrance. Wait until the pump boat arrives.

Olango Port

A lot of tricycles are parked near the port. Just negotiate them for the fare going to marine sanctuary.

Entrance going to the sanctuary

 This is where you pay the entrance. From what I remember, if you came just to visit, entrance is Php25.00 but if you go swimming, it should be Php75.00. Underwater picture taking is Php100.00. Life Vest is free for those who want to swim.

Boardwalk to sanctuary

So, this is where you go swimming and snorkel. You could also ride a boat for Php75.00 to get you farther where a lot of fishes are living.
