Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this one-day tour specifically includes a Balicasag snorkeling experience alongside dolphin watching and fishing activities.

The tour includes the boat, guide, and snorkeling gear, but Balicasag Island environmental fees and marine sanctuary entrance fees must be paid in cash upon arrival.

The entire excursion takes approximately six to eight hours, typically starting at 5:00 AM for dolphin watching and concluding by early afternoon.

Guests participate in traditional bottom fishing using hand lines and bait provided by the boat crew while anchored near the coral reefs.

The round-trip transfer applies to hotels within Panglao Island or Tagbilaran City in Bohol, meaning you must arrange your own flights from Manila to Bohol prior to the tour date.

While children can join the boat ride, the early morning start for dolphin watching and the requirement to swim in open water for snorkeling make it better suited for older children and adults.

The tour is not wheelchair accessible as it requires climbing into outrigger boats and navigating uneven, sandy terrain on Balicasag Island without paved pathways.

Dolphin sightings are most frequent between March and October when the waters around the Bohol Sea are calmest and the weather is consistently dry.

You should bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, a change of dry clothes, and cash for island fees, as there are no ATMs on Balicasag.

The Coast Guard may cancel boat departures for safety reasons, in which case the operator will offer a full refund or allow you to reschedule to the next available date.

There are no secure lockers on the outrigger boats, so it is highly recommended to leave valuables at your hotel and only bring essentials in a waterproof bag.
