This lagoon is one of the five lagoons of Danjugan Island, two of which open to the sea. Danjugan Island is 43-hectare island and private marine sanctuary that houses many wildlife species including sea eagles, bat species, butterflies, mangroves, corals, and giant clams. It offers activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling and unlimited kayaking. Overnight accommodation is possible too. It also hosts several international youth marine and wildlife camps.

How To Get There:
Since this is a private sanctuary, correspondence with The Philippine Reef & Rainforest Conservation Foundation Inc is strictly required. The daytour package already includes a boat transfer from Bulata. To go to Bulata from Bacolod, you can take the bus bound to Hinoba-an.

How Did I Get There:
Our friend and fellow couchsurfer, Julius Tagomata, has ties with the management of the Danjugan Island and has been responsible in registering our daytour trip around the island. We visited the lagoons, bat caves, watch tower, and the long stretch of white sands of Danjugan beach. We ate our snacks and lunch under the shade of lush forest. We also spent our time kayaking. The most exciting part is the scuba diving where we witnessed the diverse marine life being protected.

I salute the men and women behind this grand-scale wildlife conservation.
