If you go underwater you will see a lot of exotic fishes, including soldier fish, groupers, coral reefs and many more in this growing tourist attraction in Samar.

Have a Picnic at Blanca Aurora Falls
If you are in Catbalogan and travel some 40 km north you will come across the Blanca Aurora Falls. The waterfalls are quite the majestic sight, and there are a growing number of resorts nearby. In addition, you can also find a cave or ledge so you can stay without being drenched, perfect for picnics.
The hotspots in the province are becoming increasingly popular and the local government is doing all it can to make sure word gets out. As the province becomes more popular, expect the amenities and accommodations at the tourist attractions in Samar to improve which will make these activities more exciting.
