About Lubang Island National Park

 

Lubang Island National Park, located in the Mimaropa region of the Philippines, protects the natural integrity of Lubang Island and its surrounding marine environments. This national park is renowned for its lush tropical forests, stunning coral reefs, and crystal-clear waters that support a diverse ecosystem including numerous species of fish, sea turtles, and endemic wildlife. Historically, Lubang Island has a rich cultural heritage, with local communities practicing sustainable fishing and agriculture, maintaining a harmonious balance with nature. The park serves both as a sanctuary for endangered marine turtles and an ideal destination for eco-tourism activities such as snorkeling, diving, hiking, and birdwatching. Key landmarks include the undisturbed white-sand beaches along the coastline, hidden coves, and the island’s volcanic terrain that offers scenic viewpoints. Visitors are drawn by the tranquility, natural beauty, and the opportunity to experience traditional Filipino island culture. The relative remoteness of Lubang Island National Park ensures low visitor numbers, preserving the park’s pristine condition and making it a hidden gem for adventurers seeking off-the-beaten-path destinations.
