About the sanctuary

Juag Lagoon Fish Sanctuary is privately owned and maintained by the Geneblazo family, lead by Sir Alex. Despite being privately owned, the family decided to open it up to the public to educate and entertain. The island hoping tours in Matnog include the sanctuary as part of its itinerary. 

The Geneblazo family does not charge an entrance fee to the property but donations for the maintenance of the sanctuary are very welcome.
The sanctuary prides itself with a wide variety of marine life including lobsters, coral fishes, giant clams, grouper, sea turtles and many others. Each enclosure holds different aquatic creatures that are raised by Sir Alex and his family, along with their caretakers.
