Sohoton Cove National Park, located in Bucas Grande Island, is renowned for its enchanting labyrinth of limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, and emerald waters. Its uniqueness comes from the experience of navigating through narrow entrances that are only passable during low tide, leading to serene coves like Hagukan Cave (Snoring Cave) and Magkukuob Cave (Diving Cave), offering opportunities for cliff jumping and exploring rich biodiversity within its protected marine environment.
At the Jellyfish Sanctuary within Sohoton, visitors can enjoy the extraordinary experience of swimming alongside stingless jellyfish. This unique marine ecosystem allows for close, gentle interaction with these fascinating creatures in their natural, protected habitat. It's a rare opportunity to observe these non-stinging invertebrates up close, making for a truly memorable and distinctive encounter that highlights the rich biodiversity of the area.
