🏝️Marinduque Wildlife Sanctuary
About this place
The Marinduque Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected natural area in the Boac uplands — declared a wildlife sanctuary in 2004 (Proclamation No. 696, under the 1992 NIPAS Act) — and one of the island's best spots to slow down in nature. Visitors rate it among Marinduque's top destinations for its calm and its camping.
What to expect
The sanctuary is geared to quiet, low-impact visits: camping, fresh air, and the kind of stillness that's hard to find elsewhere. Reviewers single out the calmness and the chance to unwind surrounded by nature.
Staying and eating
There's basic on-site lodging — reviewers mention rooms around ₱500 per night — and meals can be arranged if you order ahead so the staff can prepare. Plan in advance, confirm availability, and pack for a rustic stay rather than a resort.
