“Molokini” Marinduque style
Molokini is Maui, Hawaii’s best snorkeling destination. Tres Reyes Islands is Marinduque’s version. Just a 30 minute boat ride from the city of Gasan Marinduque. Lucky I have a cousin that has a boat that took me there.Pros- Great experience! Waters are clear and pristine. Coral beach (not sand). Cons- No bathrooms. Strong current. Be careful of sea urchins.If you really don’t mind roughing it, the pros outweigh the cons a lot!
Malindig volcano
Malindig volcano (also known as Marlanga), is an andesitic stratovolcano at the southern tip of Marinduque Island, west of the Bondoc Peninsula on Luzon Island, Philippines.The summit has sharp peaks. No recent eruptions have occurred at the volcano. Hot springs are active at its western base.
Paadjao Falls
This a series of gently cascading falls that settles into a 15-foot fall. Hunt for nature- formed bathtubs downstream and enjoy Jacuzzi-like effect. It is an ideal place for picnicking or camping.
Tres Reyes Islands
Serving as a favorite haunt with delightful picnic grounds and dive spots in Marinduque are these islets named Gaspar, Melchor, and Baltazar, collectively known as Tres Reyes Islands. The islet Gaspar has a short stretch of coral beach with clear blue-green waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The second and third islets, Melchor and Baltazar, have precipitous coasts, underwater caves frequented by deep-sea divers. Marine species such as groupers, snappers, mackerels and sweet lips abound in the area, while coconut crabs called igod are commonly found along the beach.
In 1981, a sunken ship was found 130-feet underwater between the waters of Gaspar and the mainland. Believed to be one of the Chinese pirate Limahong’s vessels, the find yielded millions of pesos worth of artifacts and treasures, mostly porcelain jars, and plates. The Underwater Archeology Section of the National Museum salvaged numerous artifacts from the wreckage, which are now on exhibit.
