A protected coral reef in Honda Bay marked by a turtle-shaped floating 'School by the Sea' platform, where boatmen give a short lesson on reef ecology before you snorkel.
Practical
City Tourism Office lists Pambato Reef snorkelling as a Honda Bay Boat Owners Association tour from Santa Lourdes; the 2023 rate table lists the boat at PHP 1,200 (verify locally). A fish-feeding pontoon is mapped nearby. Snorkel only: no anchoring on the reef, no touching, no fishing.
