Samal Island
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Visit between December and May during the dry season for calm seas and clear skies. Arrive on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds from Davao City.
Conseils budget
Resort entrance fees range from PHP 50 to PHP 500 per person, with many offering day-use packages. Pack your own snacks and drinking water to avoid marked-up resort prices, and take the public barge from Davao City's Sta. Ana Wharf for just PHP 15 per person instead of private boats.

À propos
Faits rapides: Plus de 2 millions de roussettes de Geoffroy nichent dans la grotte Monfort, la plus grande colonie unique de son genre sur la planète. L'île abrite également le Centre de l'Aigle des Philippines, où vous pouvez voir de près l'oiseau national gravement menacé avec son envergure de 2 mètres.
Points forts: À la grotte Monfort, vous sentirez les parois de la grotte palpiter de chaleur provenant des 2,3 millions de chauves-souris entassées les unes contre les autres. Juste avant le crépuscule, elles jaillissent en une rivière vivante à travers le ciel pour chercher des fruits, un spectacle nocturne qui dure depuis des siècles.
Conseils d'initiés
- Skip the crowded mainstream resorts on the eastern side and head to Talikud Island's sandbar at low tide for your own private beach.
- Arrive at Monfort Bat Cave by 4:30 PM to watch the bats emerge at sunset, a spectacle that lasts about 30 minutes.
- Wear water shoes with good grip the volcanic rock shores get slippery and some coral areas have sharp edges.
- Rent a habal-habal (motorcycle taxi) for PHP 300-500 to reach multiple spots in one day, as public tricycles are scarce between resorts.
