What to do on Apo Island

What no Wifi ????

Apo Island Philippines

Apo island has no internet (and therefore no wifi) and there is no mains electricity on the island, power is provided by generator and only between 6pm to 10pm, so no aircon at all and no fans after 10pm. Also there is no piped water on the island so washing showers and toilet flushing is done with buckets. Mobile networks for globe/TM work on the island.
So no internet and little eletricity, what are you going to do on Apo?

Relax and go native

Apo Island Philippines

Apo does not have endless long sand beaches, in fact the beaches are mostly coral beaches in little coves with crystal clear warm water lapping at the shore, it also does not have crowds of people and the locals are laid back, helpful if you need something otherwise they will leave you alone.

On the beach by the village you will find a small shade where you can hire a guide Php 300 (and fins, mask, lifejacket at Php 100 each) and go snorkel in the marine reserve, its not teeming with life but it does have turtles, if you have never seen a turtle this is a wonderful opportunity to see these great guys.
