Over five days, you’ll explore the Verde Island Passage through a balance of Coral Reef Safaris and recreational diving. Two full-day Coral Reef Safaris showcase the Passage’s most famous and hidden treasures—one at Verde Island’s dramatic walls, the other at Calapan’s seldom visited world-class reefs. Wildlife dive guides enrich the experience with marine interpretation and local knowledge.
Between safaris, spend three days diving Puerto Galera’s varied dive sites with the Arkipelago dive team. From bustling coral gardens to sandy slopes and abundant macro life, diving Puerto Galera ensures a mix of experiences that highlight the area’s biodiversity and underwater charm.
TOP TIP — Extend your stay to enjoy extra fun diving days in Puerto Galera’s reefs with Arkipelago Divers, add more Coral Reef Safaris in the Verde Island Passage, or get involved in hands-on conservation through our Reef Support Crew projects such as Shark Quest, FinVentory & REEFlections.
All proceeds from the Coral Reef Safaris and profits from this travel package go directly to Blue Alliance Philippines, supporting the long-term protection of North Mindoro’s coastline for both wildlife and local communities.
Every Coral Reef Safari is fully carbon-offset, ensuring your time in the water contributes to a positive legacy. By joining, you’re not only experiencing world-class diving—you’re also helping to strengthen the reefs, ecosystems, and communities that depend on them.
Your base for the week is Arkipelago Divers & Beach Resort, a seafront property created with divers at heart. Enjoy an outdoor pool, a restaurant serving generous post-dive meals, and a bar where stories flow alongside cold San Miguel. A rooftop deck provides the perfect place to celebrate another day of diving as the sun sets over the water.
Accommodation options cover every preference, from simple Standard Rooms to spacious Villas. Pool Side and Pool View rooms deliver what their names promise, while Terrace and Garden Suites add kitchenettes and dining space for extra independence.
Straightforward, convenient, and just steps from both the dive centre and the sea, Arkipelago offers comfort and practicality—exactly what divers need between adventures in the Verde Island Passage.
