Overview
This half-day tour offers four activities in the famous Balicasag Island and Virgin Island Sandbar. Balicasag Island has been proclaimed a marine sanctuary since 1985, so expect to see vibrant marine life.
Guests will meet with the boatman and staff at Alona Beach West end, in Panglao, Bohol. Enjoy a ride in our bigger boat to see dolphins swim along the boat! Refreshments will be served onboard while traveling about 11 kilometers to the dolphin sighting area.
After dolphin watching, guests will travel to Balicasag Island to transfer to a small paddleboat with a local tour guide. Guests will spend 30 minutes per snorkel area, which are the big colorful fish area and the serene majestic turtle area. Lifevests and snorkel/masks are provided.
Guests then return to the tour boat and travel to Virgin Island Sandbar, noted for picturesque turquoise waters and pure white sand. Guests may snorkel again at a hidden gem coral reef before return to the meet-up point in Alona Beach.
