Balicasag Dolphin Tour from Panglao
Our small-group island hopping tour combines a dolphin-spotting cruise with Balicasag reef snorkeling and a planned Virgin Island sandbar stop. Snorkel masks, life jackets, boat transport and a local coordinator in the water are included.
Best time and pickup
The trip starts early: group pickups begin at 5:30 AM, or meet at 6:00 AM at the beachfront of Bohol South Beach Hotel. Most days the boat returns around 11:30 AM. Sea conditions can change the timing.
What you may see
Look for wild dolphins on the morning cruise and sea turtles while snorkeling at Balicasag. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Virgin Island access and any landing depend on tides, weather, visitor limits and local access rules.
What to bring
Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a waterproof bag, water shoes or sandals, and pesos. The ₱500 environmental fee per person is paid separately; meals, drinks and optional equipment rental are extra.
