Sohoton Cove (Bucas Grande)
About
A maze of limestone islets, hidden lagoons and caves you enter through a narrow opening only passable at the right tide. Paddle through Hagukan Cave, jump from the cliff at Magkukuob Lagoon, and swim among non-stinging jellyfish in a sanctuary lagoon during the right season. It's often done as a long day trip from Siargao and is one of Mindanao's most magical boat trips.
