Away from the hustle and bustle of popular destinations, the bay of Puerto Galera presents itself as a haven of peace. Home to nearly 300 species of coral among the most fascinating in the Philippines, this bay becomes a true call to contemplation. It is also a starting point for the spectacular dives of Isla Verde.

The name ‘Puerto Galera’ was given by them in 1570.
