Bohol: Boat Tour to Sandbar and Snorkeling with Turtles

1.Boat Tour to Sandbar and Snorkeling with Turtles

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 186 reviews · 6 hours · from $51Our pick

From Panglao, spend six hours on a shared boat visiting Balicasag Island and Virgin Island Sandbar. Look for wild dolphins, snorkel with turtles and reef fish, and enjoy grilled pork, chicken, shrimp, rice, fruit, and drinks. Local Balicasag guides lead the snorkeling, while the boat crew handles lunch and transport.

“Picked up from near my hotel on time. Arrived at the boat where we met the friendly boat crew. The weather did take a turn for the worse half way through the trip however, the crew where enthusiastic and continued all of the activities. Lunch was superb! All i would say is that if you are attending this tour then bring some wet weather gear as there is limited rain protection.”

Bohol: Private Balicasag Tour with extra snorkeling time

4.Private Balicasag Tour with extra snorkeling time

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 15 reviews · from $110

Start early from Panglao for a private speedboat trip to dolphin waters, Balicasag Island, and additional snorkeling sites. Your guide, captain, and boatman provide gear, towels, snacks, fruit, and water. Virgin Island is currently closed, and Balicasag can be crowded, but a private boat gives you more control over timing.

“We loved this trip. Being on a private tour meant that we could leave when we wanted and arrive at the stops before the group tours. At the first snorkelling stop on Balicasag island, we swam with a turtle for about 10 minutes with no one else around! Our guide was very friendly, provided everything that we needed and overall it was definitely worth the extra money.”
