Halea Nature Park — Attraction in Masbate

Took a while to get there from Masbate. We hired our own bankga (I think thats what they are called, a little boat) for 4000. Was horrifically loud though. I recommend joining an island hopping tour instead to go there.

The place is beautiful. Bring your own lunch.

Crystal clear water. Brilliant reef to snorkel right on beach. Watch where you are swimmimg tho. I lingered too long near an anemone and a very defensive clown fish bit me in the bum.

Also I saw loads of sea snakes which although they aren't aggressive at all. They are super poisonous if you get on the wrong side of one. Which would probably never happen cos they just swim right past you...

If you are able to visit this place, then congratulations! About 2.5 hours in a noisy bangka is no easy feat. I should say, however, although the water is nice and beautiful, it's somehow expected. There aren't much activities to do, making it a bit underwhelming. But if you have plenty of time to explore sites in the island, then I don't think the time in this place is a waste.
