Secret Paradise Resort is an
eco-tourism resort. As part of a
Philippine corporation, our company direction is to
secure the survival of the marine turtle and to
protect a beautiful quiet bay, "Turtle Bay".
We have
dedicated the last 6 years to
improve the local surroundings and the quality of
life for the local community. We want to share this unspoilt
paradise with like minded people.
Secret Paradise Resort and nature reserve is
a refuge for all animals to be free, to protect the
sea turtles, corals and encourage more
sea life. We thank the Municipality office in
San Vicente for granting us a small seaweed farm
permit for the last 4 years. This has enabled us to protect the whole
bay from illegal fishermen, which in turn has
protected and aided the corals growth increasing the sea-life in the bay, especially
turtles that feed on the seaweed.
Turtle Bay is a large 28 hectares sea area that
is protected by us for our conservation
program.
Nov-April, you can see the mother turtles laying
eggs.
Dec-May, the baby turtles hatch, the process of
hatching is 6-7 weeks.
We have many turtles all year round swimming in
our bay.
2009 we registered 1,230 turtles hatch. In
2010 we registered 1,372. In 2011 , we registered 1464.
We will be putting our own turtle video on
YouTube very soon.
We are planning to have our turtle sanctuary
built in 2012, this is to protect and aid the
survival of the marine turtle. If you would like
to take part in this great cause by sponsoring a
turtle, please contact
boncan@secretparadiseresort.com.
We are animal and
nature lovers, we are against any
wildlife being caged or chained up – we
believe all animals should be free! You can
see turtles swimming in our bay and monkeys
early morning, many birds and wildlife all
through the day!
