“Guide and driver excellent, was just the two of us on the tour, was only 6.5 hours not 8 hours and didn’t go to see the people make stuff and stopped at a different church. No problems with trip itself and booked in advance due to timescales. If was to do again would find local as would of been a lot cheaper”

“Sam was a great tour guide and told us some interesting facts about the local area. We loved that the tour offers some different sites than the regular tours. We were lucky enough to have no one else on our tour, so Sam allowed us to go with how much time and what we wanted to get out of each stop! Thanks again!”

“The guides and the process to get into the air from the boat was super smooth and very safe for my wife who had the best experience in the Philippines. I also jetski which was incredibly fun and smooth with a similar process. 5/5 I highly recommend.”
Swim with sardines at Napaling Reef in Panglao, Bohol. Beginner-friendly scuba session with free unedited GoPro photos and videos.
Sunrise dolphin spotting and Balicasag snorkeling from Panglao for about 5 hours, with shared boat, gear basics, and fish feeding.
“Apenas pudimos ver delfines, aunque no es algo que dependa de la organización. El snorkel, para mi gusto, muy limitado, la zona del arrecife está protegida y por tanto no puedes ver la vida marina que se concentra allí. En mi caso, el día estaba nublado así que la visibilidad era bastante escasa debido a la profundidad de la zona donde sí está permitido hacer snorkel”
5-hour TukTuk land tour of Panglao, stopping at St. Augustine Church, Nova Shell Museum, Hinagdanan Cave, Bee Farm and Modala Beach.
Private Panglao tour with sunrise dolphin watching and Balicasag snorkeling. Mask and vest included, plus a fish-feeding moment. 4 hours.
“Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The tour started late due to a missed meeting point, although the organizer did apologize and we appreciated the second attempt. However, the tour was not as private as expected, as the snorkeling took place with a larger group at a crowded spot. Considering the price, it did not meet our expectations.”
Pick the island first. The boat sorts itself out.
