Sailfin dragons are impressive-looking lizards found in the tropical regions of eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Philippines. The largest of the agamid family, these water-loving lizards are usually found basking in or near mountain streams. They flee at the first sight of danger, typically running bipedally into the water until they sink and swim away. Their ability to hide underwater for up to an hour helps to ensure any threats pass. Read this blog https://exploretraveler.com/sailfin-dragon-lizards-from-the-philippines/ if you want to know more about Sailfin Dragon Lizards.

The nature of the Philippines is wonderous and full of many creatures to see. This particular lizard is unique in its ability to just hang around and provides many opportunities to take photographs and videos of them once you find them. Our recommendation is to go to South Leyte and maybe around the outskirts of Ormoc City, you can find them.

We normally hire a driver for this kind of trip and always keep your security by being aware of your surroundings. You can fly into Tacloban and then drive south or around the island enjoying a rich nature and very friendly people along the way.
