A view of Ulugan Bay
On the way to our trip to the Underground River, we stopped by Buenavista Viewdeck. From here, you’ll have a good view of Ulugan bay.
Ulugan bay is a deep channel on the central western coast of Puerto Princesa. Inside the bay is Rita Island, a popular dive spot, Tres Maria’s, a cluster of three islets stand guard at the mount of the bay.
Local communities offer bay tours and adventurous eco-tourism activities. See lush mangrove forests amid a river cruise that will bring you to a Mangrove Foot walk Interpretive Area in bahile, or hit the water falls at kayulo after a short riverside forest trek.
Out into the bay, swim and snorkel into a number of coral reefs and peek into a colorful marine life. Delight the spectacular views of the surrounding seascape and mountains as you savor a picnic lunch at Isla Rita or in beach cove in Buena Vista.
The bay itself comprises more than 7,000 hectares, with, more than 110 kilometers of coastline characterized by small islands and inlets. Mangroves cover about 790 hectares and act as important breeding grounds and nurseries for diverse range of fishes and other marine life.
Ulugan Bay’s community-based eco-tourism activities link conservation and sustainable tourism, with the local people and the environment as the main beneficiaries
