Explore Remote Tubbataha Reef in the Philippines - Six Nights Aboard the Solitude One

Tubbataha is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was recently nominated as one of the ‘New Seven Wonders of the Natural World’, this marine protected area is home to a staggering wealth of biodiversity. It is located in the Sulu Sea, Philippines, at the geographic center of world marine biodiversity. Here lies an underwater nature reserve that is considered both a mecca for SCUBA divers, model for coral reef conservation and the largest marine protected area (MPA) in the Philippines.
Tubattaha Reefs Natural Park contains roughly 10,000 hectares of coral reef, lying at the heart of the Coral Triangle - the global center of marine biodiversity in keeping our oceans alive. Scientists have been visiting these reefs since the 1980s, and their research has shown that Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is home to 360 species of corals (about half of all coral species in the world), 11 species of sharks, 600 species of fish, 13 species of dolphins & whales, 100 species of birds and nesting Hawksbill & Green sea turtles. Since it was discovered by divers in the late 1970s Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP) has been considered one of the most extraordinary dive sites in the world, a dream trip for most scuba divers.
