Fodor's Expert Review Bubali Bird Sanctuary

More than 80 species of migratory birds nest in this man-made wetland area inland from the island's strip of high-rise hotels. Herons, egrets, cormorants, coots, gulls, skimmers, terns, and ducks are among the winged wonders in and around the two interconnected artificial lakes that make up the sanctuary. Perch up on the wooden observation tower for great photo ops. (Bring bug repellent as the area is marshy and attracts mosquitoes.)  Go early in the morning to see the most avian activity.
