Jellyfish Sanctuary

A serene lagoon inside Sohoton Cove on Bucas Grande where, in season, you can swim among harmless stingless jellyfish drifting through calm emerald water, one of the Philippines' most surreal nature encounters. Access is by guided boat tied to tides and conservation rules; look-don't-grab is the etiquette. Best for: nature lovers chasing a genuinely rare, gentle wildlife moment.
