Description

Discover two of Bohol’s most iconic gems on a relaxed island-hopping day tour. Start from Panglao and cruise across crystalline waters to Balicasag Island, a marine sanctuary famed for coral gardens, schooling reef fish, and frequent sea turtle encounters. With your guide’s local insight, you’ll be directed to the best snorkeling zones and calm entry points.

After your reef adventure, continue to Virgin Island, a dazzling crescent sandbar where shallow turquoise waters meet powder-fine sandβ€”perfect for photos, paddling, and a laid-back beach pause. This experience focuses on comfort and flexibility. Our crew handles navigation, safety, and timing so you can maximize ocean time and beach moments. You’ll have opportunities to purchase fresh seafood, coconuts, or snacks from local vendors, or simply relax and take in the panorama. Whether you’re an avid snorkeler or a casual sun-seeker, this day blends marine life, scenic cruising, and iconic sandbar scenery. Please note: Entrance fees, environmental fees, snorkeling gear, and meals are not included, allowing you to customize your spend and preferences. We’ll provide guidance on official fee points, recommended gear rentals, and trusted food stalls to ensure a smooth and transparent experience.
