Below are a couple of examples of optional tours available:

The locals from Apo Island and the surrounding mountains eagerly trade livestock, fish, exotic fruits, strange vegetables and household items. Sample some lechon baboy (roast pork) and a cold San Miguel beer while sitting on the beach. The market operates on Wednesdays.




Casaroro Waterfalls
Take an exciting 4x4 ride up into the mountains to the west of Valencia. At the end of the road, you hike for 60 minutes to reach the highest waterfall in Negros. The water plummets 40 metres into a "Jurassic Park” like grotto; here you can freshen up with a brisk swim in the cool mountain water. This is a truly unique place and Atlantis strongly recommend you take the time to experience its beauty.

The archipelago is home to more than 3,000 species of fish and 448 species of coral – where else can you combine unbelievable muck-diving with pristine coral reefs and shoals of schooling fish?

For night dives something special can be on offer, “Fluro Night Dives”, by using a special filtered blue light and a yellow mask visor you will see corals and Anemones stand out in neon colours. Lizardfish and Spearer Mantis Shrimp glow an eerie green colour, Scorpionfish emit a reddish-purple luminance, Hermit Crabs appear illuminated from within, Seagrass take on a reddish-hue and Nudibranchs will glow like they have been plugged into the mains.
