Imagine a perfect day in paradise, with crystal-clear waters, vibrant corals, and marine life that will leave you breathless. This is what awaits you on our exclusive Balicasag Snorkelling Tour. We start the day with a timely 6:00 AM pickup from your accommodation in Panglao, so you can make the most of this unique 6-hour journey.
The adventure begins with an exciting encounter with dolphins, swimming freely in their natural habitat as the sun rises. By 7:45 AM, we arrive at Virgin Island, a stunning sandbar… but please note, Virgin Island is currently closed to the public by order of the local government, and we don’t know when it will reopen. So, if you were dreaming of visiting this place, unfortunately, you'll have to wait for another time.
Next, we head to Balicasag at 8:45 AM, an island that is every snorkeler’s dream. Here, the snorkelling experience is managed by the Panglao Municipal Government, which assigns traditional rowing boats and guides to take you to the best immersion points. However, Balicasag is one of the most sought-after tourist attractions in the area. This means that it can get quite crowded, which might lead to some congestion at the snorkelling spots. We ask you to manage your expectations: we can’t bypass local regulations or control the number of tourists, and the weather can also play a role.
What we can guarantee is a unique underwater experience: you’ll glide over vibrant coral gardens, surrounded by colourful fish, graceful sea turtles, and a whole underwater universe. By 9:15 AM, we’ll head to more exclusive snorkelling spots around the island, allowing you to keep exploring the ocean’s beauty.
Of course, we understand that the unpredictable nature of the sea can affect the experience. Weather, tides, and the number of tourists can influence our plans, but every moment of this tour is designed to be spectacular. By 12:30 PM, we’ll return to Panglao, leaving you with a heart full of memories and a spirit refreshed by the magic of the ocean.
We want this experience to be just what you’re looking for. If you prefer a later start or want to spend more time in the water, we can adjust the tour to your pace. Our Balicasag Snorkelling Tour isn’t just a trip, it’s a personal journey into the heart of the sea.
