How to visit

  • Base yourself in Zamboanga City or a nearby town in Zamboanga del Sur.

  • For boat, mountain, cave, wildlife or surf activities, use licensed or locally established operators and check safety gear.
Timing

The dry season from roughly December to May is easiest for most Philippines travel; island, surf and diving conditions vary by coast, monsoon and local weather.

  • Check local conservation, dress or photography rules where relevant.
