Weather in Apo Island

About Apo Island

This tiny marine sanctuary island proves what protection achieves—sea turtles swam these waters before tourism existed, and protected reefs ensure they continue to do so. Green and hawksbill turtles feed peacefully, visible on every dive, while coral gardens and reef fish create underwater color explosions around every corner.
