Bohol Island Hopping Tour

About This Crawl

A 5.5-hour island-hopping day trip from Panglao that covers Balicasag Island and includes dolphin watching. Entrance fees, environmental fees, boat, life jacket, and guide are all included.

What to Expect

The tour departs early from Panglao. The first stop is dolphin watching in the straits between Panglao and Balicasag, where spinner dolphins are regularly spotted. Then you head to Balicasag Island for snorkelling over coral reefs with tropical fish. The water is clear and the reef is close to shore. You get beach time on a sandbar before the return trip. The boat is a traditional Filipino bangka with outriggers.

Who It's For

Daytime adventurers who want to see marine life and get out on the water. This pairs well with one of the evening tours for a full day-to-night Bohol itinerary.

Tips

• Bring reef-safe sun cream and a waterproof camera.
• The early start means early finish, leaving the evening free.
• Snorkelling gear quality varies, so bring your own mask if you have one.

Verdict

At USD 75, this is a standard Bohol island-hopping package. The dolphin watching is the highlight. No reviews yet, but Balicasag is a well-established snorkelling spot in the Philippines.
