What to expect
After a brief safety briefing at Arenilla Beach, you'll paddle steadily out to open water, working alongside your guide. The route follows the shoreline, keeping you in sheltered conditions. Once at Turtle Bay, the real payoff arrives: clear water reveals abundant sea life. You'll slip into snorkels to inspect the rocky seabed up close. Roughly midway, you'll haul out at Lovers' Cave to stretch and absorb the cliff views. The return paddle is gentler as you head back to shore. Expect a moderate physical effort throughout—steady paddling with brief intervals of rest.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and a rash shirt; water reflects UV intensely. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have heart concerns. You'll need moderate fitness—this isn't leisurely. Wear secure footwear for cave entry. Water temperature is mild year-round.
