Baler, Aurora - Aniao Islets

Aniao Islets (Off the coast of Barangay Zabali, Baler, Aurora). Two small but imposing islands lie south of the islet of Dimadimalangat. These islets jut straight from the sea like bullets, with shrubs, small trees and other greenery growing on top surfaces. Kingfishers, gulls and hawks use these islets as lookout points for fish. Towering waves relentlessly pound the base of the formations, challenging even the most intrepid of rock climbers.

San Luis, Aurora - DICASALARIN Bay

With beaches, hills, coves, a peninsula, a cave-pool, a river and reefs, Dicasalarin Bay, while small in area, offers hours of recreation and relaxation. This is a great place to escape the maddening grind of urban life. Dicasalarin is indeed a treasure of unspoiled, natural wonders that promises to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit.

Scuba Diving

Aurora has many prime spots waiting to be discovered by an adventurous scuba diver along the reefs and coral-lined shores. The main snag to the sport is the lack of scuba diving equipment and air compressor units for oxygen tank refilling.
But if you care to bring your own equipment, you may find scuba diving in Aurora to be a most rewarding experience... and you may be among the first divers to explore the untouched reefs in the deeper reaches of the province's coast.

Dive Spots
Experienced scuba divers can generally discover fine diving points on their own, since the most pristine spots are those that remain largely undiscovered. One can also try asking the locals about the best dive areas. Among the diving spots they recommend are:
Off-shore, Borlongan Beach. Two miles off-shore from the beach, a mushroom-shaped coral reef runs more than 150 feet to the bottom.
Baler.The adjacent areas of the Aniao Islets, Cemento Beach, Dimadimalangat Islet, and the Lukso-Lukso Islets are dotted with numerous coral reefs and formations.
Dicasalarin. Discasalarin is full of marvelous coral formations as yet unsullied by dynamite fishers and the general grime of modern civilization.
Also investigate the coral reef off-shore of Casiguran and Dilasag, where many potential diving spots still lie barely explored. The deep waters of Dibut Bay are also home to many species of marine life.
The MIA Surf & Sport Resort can provide a guided tour to the various diving spots in Aurora.

Nature Trekking in Aurora

Aurora's rainforest is the largest one in northern Luzon. It is a prime spot for mountain climbing and nature trekking activities due to its large forest reserve areas, its vast lowlands and foothills, and the presence of the Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges.The variety of terrain coupled with the abundance of clear streams, waterfalls and vegetation can make for a trekking experience as unique and challenging as one can plan. However, Trekkers are advised to consult local officials in the municipalities to ensure that the area is safe beforehand.
