This package included lunch, and breakfast was a simple bread and Sprite. I especially loved the barbecue on the boat. I booked this boat specifically after seeing a blogger's barbecue, which saved me the trouble of asking around once I got there. The communication before departure was very smooth, and our guide on the day was excellent. They started grilling the barbecue on the way to Balicasag Island, haha, it smelled so good! My boyfriend and I both love Filipino grilled pork and chicken. There weren't many people on our boat that day, just six of us, so the experience was great. However, sometimes there might be more people, as I've seen larger boats too. We didn't rent a GoPro, but the guide recorded videos and took photos for us for free. These were taken when we went diving again after returning from Balicasag. I can't swim, but I fell in love with snorkeling and even fed the fish. Oh, and we saw many dolphins and lots of sea turtles, as well as sea snakes. The experience was fantastic! Since I love barbecue so much, I spontaneously decided to write a good review. It seems many local tours don't include lunch, so it's a good idea to confirm that in advance. This is for everyone's reference.

Although coastal conditions were moderate due to the enhanced Southwest Monsoon and the effects of Tropical Storm Domeng, our island-hopping tour was safe and enjoyable.
Our heartfelt thanks to our boatmen and guides, Eric and Gabriel, for their kindness, patience, and exceptional assistance to our PWD daughter during boarding and disembarking. We also thank the people of Balicasag Island for their help and support—a true display of Filipino Bayanihan.
The return trip to Panglao was challenging due to rough seas, but Eric and Gabriel remained calm, professional, and focused on our safety. Their skill and dedication gave us confidence throughout the journey. They even apologized for our delayed return, though the weather was beyond anyone's control.
Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat was a wonderful bonus. The food at Balicasag was excellent, our snorkeling guides captured great memories, and swimming at the Virgin Island sandbar was a highlight.
Highly recommended!

it was a great experience for us. have seen the Dolphins and the best was snorkeling: have seen variety of fish and the only turtle we saw. We have a very good guide while under water taking the go pro photos. Virgin island not impressive coz there is private property which does not allow anyone to go walking in the beach front. The overall experience is best and we enjoyed the tour.

If you're going to Bohol, this place Oceanica is worth a visit. It offers a good environment for the eyes.

Such a nice way to start my first day of the trip! 🥹 It was really calming and chill, which was exactly what I needed after traveling. Just a slow and relaxing experience before getting into the rest of the trip.
Just a small note about the food voucher. It was collected when I placed my order, but I noticed afterward that the voucher amount wasn’t reflected as a deduction on the final bill. Maybe there was just a little mix-up with the redemption process. Other than that, I really enjoyed the experience and it was such a lovely way to kick off the trip. 🤍

The snorkeling experience in Panglao was pretty good overall, although there were quite a lot of people, the water was a bit cloudy, and there were fewer sardines than we expected.
A huge thank you to Alan for taking such good care of us! The photos and videos he took will give us wonderful memories to look back on for years to come.
And a very special thank you to Alan for helping me find my GoPro after I accidentally dropped it in the water. My hero, Alan! 🙌
He is definitely my #1 recommended guide. If I could give him ten stars, I would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highly recommended!

This was an utterly brilliant day trip. Harvey, our tour guide, was fantastic. The itinerary was flexible, allowing us to visit the Chocolate Hills, enjoy a Loboc River cruise, and explore the Tarsier Sanctuary. We also had the opportunity to go to a monkey sanctuary where we fed the monkeys and saw some rice fields. Harvey provided us with lots of extra information along the way, which helped us learn about the area. We all loved the day and would highly recommend it.

We enjoyed a lot during our visit. The place was not hard to find. The staff were also friendly and accommodating. We had fun feeding the animals.

The accompanying guide was very enthusiastic and took us along to chase dolphins. The captain was also wonderful, taking us to a separate area just to watch the dolphins. It truly was a very lucky and unforgettable experience! Everyone was so sincere, and this trip to the Philippines was truly delightful!

Quick facts about Panglao
General info
What to know before visiting Panglao
What to expect in Panglao
Panglao is best known for water activities, followed by tours and cultural experiences, with a smaller share of massages — these are the top booking categories on Klook. Demand follows an island rhythm: the busiest stretch centres on June, while August is noticeably quieter according to Klook booking data. If you want lively beach and boat days, aim for the busier weeks; if you prefer a calmer visit and easier planning, pick the quieter months. Choose peak-summer atmosphere or quieter-value travel is the main decision travellers face, per Klook booking data.
Best months to visit Panglao
June is the year’s busiest month on Klook, with bookings running above a typical month, while August is the trough and tends to be much quieter. Prices drift through the year: the dataset shows December as typically the most affordable month on Klook and May as the priciest, with the last 12 months’ median nightly prices rising toward late spring. Where demand and price align, May–June brings both higher activity and higher typical prices; December offers smaller crowds and lower typical prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider December; for peak-season atmosphere, consider May–June.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | About average | USD 35 |
| February | About average | USD 38 |
| March | About average | USD 38 |
| April | About average | USD 34 |
| May | About average | USD 49 |
| June | Busier than usual | USD 47 |
| July | About average | USD 32 |
| August | Quieter than usual | USD 39 |
| September | About average | USD 44 |
| October | Quieter than usual | USD 38 |
| November | About average | USD 39 |
| December | About average | USD 31 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Where to stay in Panglao
Klook booking data shows Poblacion as the most affordable district for typical nightly hotel rates, with a median around USD 57, while Bolod sits at the priciest end with a typical nightly rate around USD 153. The gap between them is roughly 63% by Klook’s figures. Cheaper districts tend to suit travellers prioritising budget-friendly accommodation and easy access to basic services; pricier districts suit those wanting a higher-end hotel experience and more resort-style comforts. Decide between budget convenience and upscale comfort based on what you value most, per Klook booking data.
Tips for travellers planning a Panglao trip
Most travellers on Klook book a handful of days ahead: bookings typically happen about 3 days ahead, while the earliest planners book roughly 10 days out. That makes the market generally flexible — many experiences can be arranged a day or two before travel, though booking earlier helps in the busier months identified above. Use Klook to secure water activities and popular tours in advance when visiting in peak periods, and be confident to reserve last-minute if your dates fall in quieter months. Klook booking data supports these planning rhythms and helps you lock in the experiences you want.
