Meet new friends in this shared half-day tour to Balicasag Island. Balicasag Island has been proclaimed a marine sanctuary since 1985, so expect to see vibrant marine life.
Boat Boarding is at Alona or Momo depending on wind conditions. Enjoy a ride in our bigger boat to see dolphins swim along the boat! Refreshments will be served onboard while traveling about 11 kilometers to the dolphin sighting area. (Dolphins are seasonal and sightings are not guaranteed)
After dolphin watching, guests will travel to Balicasag Island to transfer to a small paddleboat with a local tour guide. Guests will spend 30 minutes per snorkel area, which are the big colorful fish area and the serene majestic turtle area. Lifevests and snorkel/masks are provided.
Virgin Island Sandbar is closed due to government ban. Alternate activity is extra snorkeling (depending on wind conditions - Gak-ang, or Doljo, or Napaling)
Freshly grilled lunch served on boat

Very badly organized, not worth the money

2.00The boat that we started with was broken, we had to wait for an hour and a half for them to bring another boat, we understand these things can happen, but they did not inform us what will it happen, they kept saying the rescue boat will come, but we had no idea if we will go back to our hotels or continue the tour. Finally when a new boat arrived, we were taken to not all the spots, only turtles and 1 snorkeling place The lunch was very greasy Really I think for the price we payed we got the exact same experience as the 900 php tour that they sell on the beach.
