Starting Point and First Stops: Heaven Island & Fish Farm

The adventure kicks off around 10 am at the harbor, where the boat departs with eager passengers. Our first stop is Heaven Island, renowned for its fish farm. Here, you can feed exotic fishes and capture memorable photos of the lively aquatic life. It’s a lively start, perfect for those who love to interact with nature and get some early photos before the day heats up.

Aquarium Bay: Crystal Clear Waters

This is the main swimming and snorkeling spot, where you can float above colorful fish and explore the underwater world. The 30-minute break allows you to relax, take in the scenery, and decide whether to swim or just soak up the sun on the boat. The calm waters make it ideal for less experienced swimmers too.

Phosphorus Cave: A Natural Wonder

One of the highlights is the Phosphorus Cave, also called the Wishing Cave. Its interior is a natural spectacle, with waters that change color—an ideal setting for a little wish-making as you toss a coin into the turquoise depths. It’s a short stop but packed with visual drama that’ll leave you snapping photos and marveling at nature’s artistry.
