Sabang: Mangrove Forest

Get There: Walk to the right (if facing the water) end of Sabang beach and follow the signs
Cost: P200 ($5AUD) per person

This half-hour boat ride is a tranquil way to learn Tagalog on the water, see some kingfishers and some snakes. It’s a little lame as far as tours go, but fun if the sky is grey and you can’t go to the beach. If you’re lucky, your tourguide will sing you “The Mangrove Song”, which is supposedly in English and is about a tree that loves “brackis” water.
