Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park, Palawan
The Breathtaking Underwater Garden
Currently Ranking at No.4
Why it deserves your vote: These atolls are composed of the North and the South reefs, and are separated by a deep eight-kilometer wide channel. There are 483 species of fish, 396 coral species, 44 species of birds and nine species of dolphins and whales in the marine park. Endangered species like the hawksbill and green sea turtles use the numerous sandbars as nesting grounds.
Things to do: Tourists primarily go to Tubbataha to dive especially during the Tubbataha Season from mid-March to mid-June. The place is also renowned bird sanctuary. A lighthouse islet at the southern tip of the south atoll is where you can see thousands of migratory birds.
How to get there: From Puerto Princesa City, Tubbataha Reef can be reached by boat. Travel time takes 12 hours or less.
Hay… So really interesting and I'm dreaming of to go here for breathtaking underwater garden.

Hey you know what? Before you even posted this, I already voted for Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park several times on the internet for the World's Natural Wonder.
I think when I was voting, it was the one leading the poll. I also voted for the Chocolate Hills of Bohol and Mayon Volcano.
It's cool that you posted this. I was thinking of posting it on my site about one month ago. I saw the clip on "The Probe Team".
