Panglao

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. 🤍

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 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：

First, check in at Alona Beach. There are three parasailing crew members who know a little bit of simple Chinese. They are super enthusiastic and friendly, which really calmed our nervous first-time jitters. The ascent into the air is slow and not scary at all. The weather happened to be clear, and the scenery was breathtaking. We stayed up in the air for a good amount of time, making it well worth the money. The guy on the boat will help take pictures for you, but it is recommended to bring a phone with a lanyard or a GoPro up with you to take amazing aerial shots (you need to ask the crew first). Highly recommend this activity.

Such an amazing freediving experience in Bohol! 🌊🤿 I had so much fun and genuinely enjoyed every moment of it. instructor was incredibly nice, patient, and encouraging, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable and comfortable. You can really tell that they care about helping you learn and have a great time. Highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Bohol—definitely one of the highlights of my trip! 💙✨

Before we depart, you'll receive professional instruction on diving precautions. Afterward, we'll practice in the training center's pool, and only once you're comfortable will we take you out to sea. Overall, I felt very safe, and the owner is incredibly dedicated, so I highly recommend it. My only minor note is that the marine life was a bit less abundant than I expected.

It was so ridiculous. When we got to the beach, there was just a crystal-clear canoe waiting for us. My travel companion and I burst out laughing, and nobody even taught us how to paddle. We went paddling at Alona Beach; luckily the water was shallow and we were wearing life vests 🦺. It was just hilarious.

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.
