Fishermen’s Cove (established 1987) is a small dive resort located in Puerto
Galera
on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines (
see map). It is a quiet and
private place
with a family ambiance. It consists of 10 bungalows, each with
private bathroom
and warm water, a restaurant with typical Italian cuisine,
serving excellent
fish, homemade pasta
and bread. For
those who want
to experience
typical
local flavor we also
serve Filipino and other
oriental dishes.
The resort has been
designed in a native
style that blends
perfectly with the
beautiful nature.
It lies well protected
in a small picturesque bay
with 4 beautiful
lonely
beaches in the vicinity,
and only walking distance
away from the town.
Giuseppe, the Italian host, is at
your service every day. He accompanies all
excursions, whether
on land or underwater.
Back from our daily trips you may want
to relax in our spacious gazebo. Skilled
masseuses will restore
your energy with reinvigorating massages, lymph node
drainage,
aroma therapy, manicure, pedicure etc. The
gazebo also includes a billiard table and

nearby town or to Sabang
Beach where several bars open
after sunset and entertain until the wee small hours
Every day our boat is ready to take you to a new
excitement. Within a few
minutes we can reach numerous

grill fish. In the afternoon we continue
to dive or just to dip into
the sea. The boat excursions aim to satisfy divers
and non-

area of
Puerto Galera and enjoy its variety.

We reach the Cave of Aras after a 40 minutes Jeepney ride
plus a one hour walk uphill Mt. Halcon.
The cave is easy to
explore, if you don’t mind the
hundreds
of harmless
bats flying
around.
15 minutes
later we
arrive at
a big
opening
where
bright
daylight
dazzles
the eyes. Here
too, some waterfalls
call for a descent on ropes.
On our
way home more waterfalls are
challenging
One has to get up early in the morning in order to
watch the bird migration at
Lake Najau. After a
80 km ride, either on a Jeepney or on motor bikes,
we got

of birds,
particularly
during the
migration
season.
