"What is your Dream Vacation?"
I got asked this question a lot. And honestly, there are lots of places that I want to visit before I grow old and become weak. But for now, I am going to share to you guys this one place that I really want to visit and cross out on my bucket list. The TUBBATAHA REEFS NATURAL PARK.
And the reason why I am making this post is because @nuoctuong wants to know our Dream Vacation Destination. You can check out the contest post with this link.
So, let me take you to...
TUBBATAHA REEFS NATURAL PARK
The Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is located in Cagayancillo, Palawan, Philippines.
Tubbataha is located at the heart of Coral Triangle. It is composed of two huge Atolls, the North and South. And a smaller one which is the Jessie Beazley Reef.
What's special about the Tubbataha?
Well, the Tubbataha Reefs is considered as one of the best and extraordinary diving sites in the world. And I want to experience that! I want to experience diving with different species of fish, sharks, turtles and many more!
Sad to say, the Dive Season is just 3 month long. From mid-March upto mid-June. It is best and favorable in this time of year because the visibility is between 30 - 45 meters, clear skies and the sea is calm.
How to get to Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park?
Most divers book on liveaboards. They need to take a flight to Puerto Princesa, the jump-off point to Tubbataha. From then, then need to take a boat which is 10 hours ride to get to Tubbataha Park. For those who are from the other country, you need to take a flight to Manila, Philippines first.
Here are some pictures of the Tubbataha Reefs if ever you decide to visit and experience this extraordinary dive site just like me!

600 Species of Fishes
12 Species of sharks, 13 Species of Dolphins and Whales, Green and Hawksbill Turtles
360 Species of Corals
(about half of all coral species in the world)
100 Species of Endemic and Migratory Birds
That's what you'll be expecting when you get there! Who wouldn't get excited, right???
And for you to want to visit Tubbataha too, I really really recommend you to watch this video and be amazed by the natural beauty of the Tubbataha Reefs.
" In Tubbataha, every visitor is a priviledged guest.
And every guest must treat this kingdom with respect."
That's all everyone! Hope you liked my dream vacation destination. And maybe one day, I'll be able to go to Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park. Hopefully, soon...

Thank you for your article. I did not that the such rich natural diversity in the Philippines, @aboutart.
Me too. When I learned about the Tubbataha, I want to dive in right away! 😅 Although, I just learned how to swim, I can't wait to jump and dive with those species. I hoped I got you hooked up with the Philippines' pride. 😀
