The Habagat season (southwest prevailing winds) has began and with it comes the opportunity for our group to conduct survey and assessment dives of uncharted reefs and the kinds and numbers of marine life that thrive in Taytay Bay and Malampaya sound. We have actually already done a few quality dives, along with visits to trekking, camping, birding, and paddling areas, with some positive results. What I can say is that, Taytay Bay and the Malampaya Sound Protected Land/Seascape, offers some great ecotourism sights and activities for the adventurer. With a little more attention given to environmental conservation and protection, and additional, equally important tourism infrastructure, there is no reason why the whole of Taytay can't become an interesting and exciting ecotourism destination in North Palawan

Because it is just 4-5 hours by public land transport from Puerto Princesa, and within 1 1/2 hours from El Nido and Port Barton, San Vicente, and Roxas, it costs a lot less to experience practically the same exhilarating and enjoyable feeling as one gets when he or she visits other popular tourism sights  like Coron or the Underground River.

Taytay definitely has plenty to offer and can handle a substantial increase in visitor arrivals once Sta. Cruz Roro Port and Cesar L. Rodriguez Airport, both of which are currently undergoing major infrastructure overhaul / construction work,  open up.

Fish Tales

Fishing is a major industry in the Municipality of Taytay. Although the inconsistencies in the implementation of laws to regulate fishing has caused a decrease in catch volume due to unabated illegal fishing activities, there still is enough fish available, but only when sea conditions are good, for the locals to cover their protein needs and expenses. One of the main objectives of the municipal government is to promote tourism to help create better business and employment opportunities for its people. Considering that Taytay has both the eastern and western sea sides and the Malampaya sound within its municipal boundaries, the introduction of sport/recreational fishing to prospective visitors would certainly help the municipality to become one of the popular game fishing destinations in the Palawan and offer a better and brighter future for many of its fisherfolk and tourism stakeholders
