Nature lovers can hike their way up to Mount Apo to enjoy the lush scenery from atop the nation’s highest peak or indulge in various activities at Eden Nature Park, while the Island Garden City of Samal offers a chance for sun-seekers to go beach-hopping around the many pristine shores surrounding the resort island.
