Marabut Islands Travel Guide

If you are looking for an idyllic location full of adventure then Marabut is calling your name as this rustic area is perfect for chilling out and observing natural beauty.

Stretched out on the southwestern tip of Samar you will find the tranquil place of Marabut. In this tropical setting there are many mini adventures to enjoy, like rock climbing and caving. There is also stunning scenery to see in the natural rock formations on the land and sea which have been carved out over the years.

There are many secret beaches and coves to find and claim for yourself for a day of sunbathing and swimming. From these bays there is ample snorkeling and it is easy to swim out to the coral gardens and see the colorful reefs and marine life in their natural habitat.

Around 15 small islets and rock islands shoot up from the seas just off the coast, which offers great exploring opportunities for adventurous types. Scuba diving is becoming popular here and you can book trips out around the small isles where you can anchor down and disembark to explore.
