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 a power gym. For the night-lifers we will organize a transport to the nearby town or to Sabang Beach where several bars open after sunset and entertain until the wee small hours |

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 a spectacular sight on all kinds of birds, particularly during the migration season. On our way back we will visit the market of Calapan, the capital of Oriental Mindoro |
