There are not many places left in the world where you can have a whole beach to yourself. Kayaking, hiking, swimming and snorkeling add to the list of non-diving activities. Some of the best views are from Ponderosa, a nine-hole golf course 500 meters up a near-by mountain or ride a local jeepney to the waterfalls and Hidden Paradise and enjoy a spectacular day out.
TUKURAN OR HIDDEN PARADISE
A 45 minute jeepney ride from the town of Puerto Galera will take you to the four rivers, where you will have to continue by foot or ox-cart to get to the falls. An amazing place where the waterfalls have had thousands of years to carve and shape the surrounding rocky landscape into pools and small falls.
SUNSET CRUISE
A beautiful sightseeing tour around Puerto Galera and its untouched beaches; usual departure time around 4pm (back at Atlantis around 7pm). Enjoy drinks and snacks whilst you relax with people from all over the world or play games on the beach; it's hard not to fall in love with Puerto Galera after this trip.
BEACH & ISLAND HOPPING
White Beach a kilometer of white sandy beach just 30 minutes away, where you can relax and enjoy a swim in the ocean; it's the perfect place to see the sun set as well. White beach has restaurants, souvenir shops and volleyball nets.
Haligi, Bayanan and other Beaches between fifteen and thirty minutes away by boat lie several deserted beaches, protected in little coves. Bring your own drinks and snacks, and make it a day out. Many of the beaches have great snorkeling, as well as little caves or palm trees to give you shade during the hottest hours.
KAYAKING
Explore the beautiful coastline of Puerto Galera by kayak
GOLF
This beautiful golf course situated at the foot of Mount Malasimbo has a challenging 9-hole course and stunning views (some of the best in the area). Don't miss this opportunity to view Puerto Galera and the entire bay and surrounding area from 500 meters... and don't forget your camera!
All clubs, balls etc. are available for rent, and the staff will carry your drinks and find your lost balls for you.
WALKING, TREKKING & RUNNING
Whether you need to stretch your legs or go for a serious run Puerto Galera has popular trails which offer stunning views of the surrounding ocean, as well as the neighboring villages. Puerto Galera is built on a mountain side, so don't expect any flat tracks. Ask the staff to give you directions to the "loop" or the "light house" and they might even go with you.
MANGYAN VILLAGE
The Mangyans are the aborigines of Mindoro. These "nomads of nature" used to travel in entire families from one place to another by foot, but settled years ago in the mountains. You will witness their daily life of primitive survival
TAMARAW FALLS
Located just 14 km from Puerto Galera and near the village of Villaflor. Taste the sweet natural spring water as you enjoy the outstanding scenery, the old growth forest, and beautiful rock formations below the waterfall. Bathe in the pools, bask in the sun, and just relax.
