While the weather was fine the sea was a bit too choppy for sardines and when we arrived at the beach we were told no sardines. While the tour cannot control the weather they should have informed us that the sardines tour had no sardines and cancel the tour. They did have us snorkel for 45min maximum however we paid a premium for the sardine experience. From the time we left to hotel until return was less than 90min. We were very disappointed with this tour.
Terribly organised

We were meant to be picked up at 07:30- driver didn’t arrive until 08:30. There wasn’t any clear communication of what was happening. We got to the venue and the driver didn’t know who our tour operator was. In the tour description it said we would be provided with water which we didn’t receive. If we knew that, we would have brought our own. The description also states the entrance fees are included but when we got there we were asked to pay. I reiterated that the extortionate amount we paid for the tour already included the entry fees. The actual guide that swam with us to the reef was fantastic. He took plenty of videos and pictures for us- I cannot fault him. However, the way the entire thing was organised was haphazard and it wasn’t at all worth the amount we paid! I should’ve really waited until we got to Bohol and booked here instead of before we arrived here.
Awesome Sardines

It was a moment of a lifetime with thousands of sardines zipping past you in a terrific snorkeling area right next to the cliffs where you descend from...apart from sardines, other beautiful marine fishes such as Nemo too find their way there..Its a MUST SEE thing when you are visiting Bohol....better stay at one of the resorts by the cliff for a night to enjoy it even more.
