@Arsenia, I don’t think they allow overnight camping. Entrance is only P10 each.

@Samara, hi! Tuka is the best snorkeling paradise in this side of Mindanao by far. I would recommend that you visit the place as early as you can in the morning and make the most out of your day trip there.

My, my. Thanks for blogging about Tuka Marine Park. This would be a great destination for our small clan next summer. We’ve been frequent tourists in Gumasa beach resorts for the past few years and I should admit that way back our first year, we were awed by the beautiful corals there while snorkeling. But as the years passed, the number of corals have been reduced and at most, dead corals were abundant. Not to mention that we barely see the usual starfishes recently this year.

Anyways, I’d like to ask if we need prior reservations before getting there, and same with Arsenia’s question, if we could stay there overnight. By the way, this is a great blog.

well what can i say about our (this) trip to tuka? the boat-ride was uneventful but i was psyching myself up for another difficult transfer to shore. surprisingly it was not too bad. i was holding on to my EXPENSIVE camera and my dog (a mini-pinscher) CHAD as i bravely made my way towards the shore (yes, virginia, i was in the water!). am not a beach person. i don't like the sun. but i like a pretty view that nature can offer. tuka has got loads of them as shown in avel's pictures. i was just concerned of dengue mosquitoes as there was a big paddle of water under the coco trees. and there's the problem of toilets! so i did it behind the coco tree. hehehe! in the end, it's always nice to discover places like tuka. i take my hats off to mayor rommel and first lady dayday falgui for leading the way in developing the tourism treasures of their municipality! ormans last blog post..Way Over Yonder by Carole King
