Things to do in Panglao

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.

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.

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!

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! 教練：

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. 🤍

This is not a drill-YOU CAN FEED AND PET THE ANIMALS. OMG. The farm is well-maintained. and layout from start to finish is set up beautifully so you can maximize your time in each pen. The tour is at your own pace. The farm is serene and relaxing.
