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

Set out from Panglao on a shared boat tour and discover the beauty of Balicasag Island. Cruise over crystal waters to spot playful dolphins, then snorkel above colorful coral reefs and swim alongside sea turtles in their natural habitat.

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.).

Enjoy refreshments onboard and a freshly grilled lunch after snorkeling. When conditions allow, visit an extra coral reef spot away from the crowds. The tour usually ends by 12:00 NN to 1:00 PM, leaving you sun-kissed and smiling.
