Featuring Oriental Mindoro (14 Best Tourist Spots)

Oriental Mindoro Tourist Spots

1. White Beach, Puerto Galera

White Beach is an area near the crowded center of Puerto Galera, one of the island's most popular destinations. If you just want to relax on a beach with fine white sand and cool, crystal-clear water, you can find it here. The area has a gorgeous landscape because of the trees by the beach. The serenity of this island is still maintained, so you can have a relaxing day tour.

Puerto Galera is one of the top tourist spots in Oriental Mindoro because of its white beaches, island-hopping, and underwater activities. This summer destination is already commercialized, so expect modern design and world-class resorts and hotels. Most of the restaurants serve appetizing and mouth-watering delicacies. During the nighttime, this area transforms into a party haven, with fire dancers performing by the beach. Souvenir shops by the beach are also available.

2. Mt. Halcon

Mt. Halcon is one of the gems of Mindoro and is considered one of the most difficult mountains to hike in the Philippines. This giant separates Oriental from Occidental and has a wide rainforest area being protected by the Mangyan tribe members. It has a very long trail, and most parts of this are ascending to the summit. I've visited a lot of river systems in the Philippines, but the Dulangan River is one of the finest because of its super clear and cool water.

3. Scuba Diving in Sabang.

Our group, Batang Hamog Mountaineers, usually makes sure to participate in any Freedom-related activities to celebrate the freedom that was proclaimed on June 12, 1898. This year, just to be out of our comfort zone, we organised a Freedom Dive held in Sabang, Puerto Galera, Mindoro, which is one of the best diving spots in the Philippines. We all know that the Philippines is composed of more than seven thousand islands and is surrounded by water, so scuba diving is just one of the must-try water activities.

Mindoro Island is divided into two provinces, Oriental and Occidental. Its main products are mostly agricultural, but it also has stunning tourist destinations that it can be proud of, from the historical sites to the beautiful white beaches, underwater richness, rainforests in the mountains, and the people. I have tried solo backpacking to Mindoro several times, and the people here are some of the most hospitable and friendly in the country.
