About this experience
Combine wildlife and Bohol’s marine treasures on this private island hopping tour in your own motorized boat.
The day starts early with dolphin watching, a chance to see dolphins swimming and leaping in their natural habitat. Then head to Balicasag Island, a premier snorkeling destination, to explore the fish sanctuary’s colorful coral reefs and look for sea turtles. The last stop is Virgin Island, famous for its white sandbar that appears at low tide, where you can relax and wade in the shallow water.
Good to know:
- This is a private tour, priced per person. The more guests in your group, the lower the price per person. Choose the rate for each guest (foreign national or Filipino citizen) when you book.
- The boat leaves from the Alona, Solea/Linaw, Amarela and Dumaluan beach areas. The rate applies if your hotel is within walking distance of the starting point; transfers from hotels further away cost extra.
- Lunch is not included, but there is a restaurant on Balicasag Island.
- Dolphin watching is by chance. Dolphins are wild animals and sightings also depend on the weather.
