Bohol: Turtle Sanctuary Snorkeling Boat Tour with Lunch

Balicasag Island Shared Boat Tour – Swim with Turtles & Watch Wild Dolphins in Bohol

Boat boarding is from Alona or Momo Beach, depending on wind and tide. Hotel pick-up within Panglao is included, with coordination confirmed one day before via messaging apps (WhatsApp, Viber, etc.).
