Swimming with the Fish at Looc Fish Sanctuary Romblon

Looc is one of the prosperous town of Tablas Island. This is next to Odiongan town. Me and my cousins had this thing for discovering new places in our mini island. We love to go on a motorcycle ride which the locals call round Tablas, making a tour of the whole island for the whole day. One of our rides led us to poet of Looc.

It is here where we decided to go and visit their famous fish sanctuary. After paying the fee of 100 pesos per person. This is for the boat fare back and port from the port to the floating cottages. Riding a boat from the port it take us around 10 to 15 minutes before we get to their floating cottages. This floating cottages made with bamboo and some floating materials can accommodate up to 20 persons. Bringing of food is allowed just be reminded not to leave any garbage on the place. The floating cottage has tables and chair where you can have your lunch. They also offer free use of life jackets for those people who don’t know how to swim.

This cottage also has a little small rectangular whole at the center wherein tourist can have a meet and greet with the beautiful fishes. With its sparkling clear water, snorkeling and swimming are the major activities you can do in this place. Also it is a perfect spot for taking sunset photos. A little light house, with some boat can be part of your picture perfect sunset photo. To get here from the port of Odiongan, look for a jeepney bound to Looc. The driver will drop you at the town proper. From there, you can ride a tricycle or motorcycle going to the port of Looc. If you want to experience what the locals love to do – round Tablas adventure, you can ask locals to rent their motocycle for a day.
