Anilao has been a legendary destination in the Philippines since the 1970s for all divers from around the world. Known as “the world capital of nudibranchs”, it was one of the first places in the country where diving began due to its scientific and photographic interest.
We can find species that are very difficult to see in other areas of the world. The reason is because they are found in an area called the Coral Triangle, which is a marine area between the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. This area has the greatest marine biodiversity on the entire planet and this can be seen in Anilao.
Anilao is also located on the island of Luzon, which makes it easier to get to, as the main entry point into the country is Manila Airport, and from there it is only a 3.5 hour drive to Anilao, saving you from having to take internal flights or ferries to get to other islands.
