Apo Island is a volcanic island covering 74 hectares in land area, 7 kilometers off the southeastern tip of Negros Island and 30 kilometers south of the Negros Oriental capital of Dumaguete in the Philippines. The name "Apo" was derived from a Filipino word for "grandchild"

• An hour’s drive north of Dumaguete brings you to Bais City, where an oversized outrigger motorboat will cruise you along Tañon Strait to spot dolphin’s and if lucky, Whales too! You will also visit the Campuyo White Sandbar where you can swim and snorkel in it’s clear blue waters, or just laze around the fine white sand beach. • Cap off the morning with a hearty lunch onboard of mixed grill • Headback to Wharf by noontime and proceed to Sibulan. • Tucked 850M above sea level, northwest of Dumaguete, the Twin Lakes of Balisasayao offer scenic views and excellent nature hikes. Spend the afternoon kayaking or paddling on local banca, or trek your way through a 30-minute rock trail around the Lake. Bring a windbreaker or jacket as the weather can be completely different, with the air much cooler and almost always, some shower.

A 40 minute drive to cool and lush Valencia, takes you to Pulangbato Falls or Red River Valley, aptly named because of the reddish rocks around the falls, and in the pool of water. Take refereshing swim, while enjoying the naturally cooler surroundings. Next head to the hot spring for the therapeutic dip. Pulangbato Falls is located in the Ocoy Valley in the town of Valencia Negros Oriental. It is aptly named so because of the waterfall’s seemingly red river water which is caused by the presence of natural reddish rocks found in the area. Pula is the native word for red while bato, for rock. Thus, if interpreted, the name would be red rock.

Enjoy the outdoors as you head northwest passing thru sugar plantations and rice fields, to the mountaintop town of Mabinay – home to numerous caves and one of the best spots to do white-water kayaking!
