Good to Know

Sardine sightings are seasonal and not guaranteed.
Based on historical patterns, sardines usually shift location or depth during Amihan (October–March) and are more commonly seen during summer and Habagat months (April–September). As this is a natural phenomenon, timing may vary by approximately one to two months.
The experience goes beyond sardines.
Even when sardines are limited, Napaling remains a beautiful snorkeling and freediving site known for its coral wall, tropical reef fish, and clear waters.
