About
German Island (named after a German expat who lived here) is famous for its resident sea turtle population. Snorkeling in the seagrass beds around the island offers frequent turtle encounters. These gentle giants graze in the shallows and are habituated to swimmers.
The beach itself is stunning white sand with good shade from palm trees. The island is part of the standard Port Barton island-hopping tour.
The combination of turtle encounters and beautiful beaches makes German Island a highlight that rivals spots costing three times more in El Nido.
Local tip
Swim quietly toward the seagrass area, where the turtles feed. Don't chase them, let them come to you. Underwater camera essential.
