Things to do in Pontod Island

great experience. tour guide and his crew are very helpful.

There are tons of things to do here. We fed birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, and lots more. but overall, the best part was fishing! kuya who was there to guide us was very accommodating. we caught lots of fish but we have to pay for those that we caught. we had an option to take it home with us or have it cooked (but with extra charge of 500 pesos). we just threw it again because we’re already full from Uma (a so so resto, imo). most important note: please carry a mosquito repellent w/ u when u go here.

Tour went well and all the guides were friendly. Kuya even had the go pro with him! Food was cooked delicioudly on the boat

boat condition: very good scenic views on board: Amazing guide: good safety: very good itinerary: wonderful and highly recommended

It was a unique experience walking along the beautifully crafted bamboo pathway amidst lush mangroves, with the laughter of visitors blending into the chirping of crickets and the gentle sound of the waves. We had a wonderful time, and the ates and kuyas at Nest were very accommodating. We will definitely go back again.

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. All the staffs were nice and respectful. Worth the price. Recommended for families.

a great side trip for a family with kids and kods at heart! the animals are well fed and the area is well maintained. we enjoy the kitty barn as well as feeding the animals and fishing!
