Taytay Bay benefits from a very protected natural environment, there are coral reefs with a very healthy coral population. The very low tourist frequency of the places increases the feeling of exclusivity. The guide will be attentive and will adapt to your level, desires, knowledge and skills. In the afternoon, the guide will take you by boat to discover other wonders of the place. They will probably show you the Hornbill Palawan, an endemic species and the impressive caves around the island of Apulit. Overnight at the resort.
