What to expect
If you're thinking about diving into the marine wonders around Napaling Panglao, you have a few great options. For those who aren't quite comfortable in the water, the non-swimmers snorkel tour is perfect—it provides a life jacket and a guide to help you enjoy the underwater sights without any stress. If you're a bit more confident with snorkeling, the standard tour lets you explore deeper waters and get up close with the sardines using standard snorkeling gear. For the more adventurous, the freediving tour offers a chance to dive deeper and see marine life in a more immersive way, with specialized equipment and a briefing on freediving techniques. Each tour caters to different comfort levels and interests, so you can choose one that best fits your experience!




Reviews
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:
It was great experiencing such a spectacular sardine snorkeling for the first time, much more fun than regular diving spots. The instructor was very nice and took great photos; having the photography experience was really awesome. Although I can't freedive to capture the "Instagrammable" shots, my friends' photos turned out beautifully.
Thank you so much for your excellent assistance during my first snorkeling experience. Your detailed explanation of how to wear the equipment made me feel very comfortable and ready to start. We traveled by motorbike with our guide from the school, and their constant support by my side throughout the snorkeling session allowed me to relax and enjoy myself completely. It was also wonderful that you took so many photos and videos and copied them directly to my iPhone on the spot. The availability of towels for the shower facilities was very convenient, as it meant I only needed to bring my swimsuit and a change of clothes. However, one minor point is that wearing a life jacket was mandatory, and an additional payment of 350 pesos was required on the day. I believe it would be helpful to provide this information in advance for smoother preparation. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
Amazing. The view under water is stunning. The coach are caring. We have 2 coaches for our group of three so is safe and fun. Even you are not a good swimmer can still enjoy!
This place is the best, so much fun!!! The guide took great care of me, so I had a blast and saved a lot of photos and videos.
An absolutely wonderful experience! Stunning underwater scenery! Friendly reception and instructors! A snorkeling experience with a lot of freedom! For transportation, we recommend going by tuk-tuk or contacting the dive shop to arrange it!
My boyfriend and I experienced this trip, and our guide Dio was great. We didn't have any freediving experience before, but he patiently encouraged us. Even though we can swim, it felt quite safe without renting a life jacket. Now you can rent one for 300P. The guide will pay attention to our physical condition and adjust the pace accordingly.
Coach: Coach Deo is extremely attentive. He clearly explained all the precautions before we went into the water, and he took a lot of great videos and photos for us. This tour is highly recommended!!
We recommend navigating 🧭 to: FREEDIVE ACADEMY PANGLAO. This is the location before you need to purchase a ticket. Be sure not to pay for a ticket to enter and search for the training center. The instructor is great and will definitely take you to see the sardines! The instructor will guide you there, and it's very safe to wear a life jacket even if you can't swim!
I booked this snorkeling trip last minute, but the communication was excellent. They provided clear transportation guides and even suggested alternative options to ensure I arrived without any issues. It was my first time visiting a dive shop in Bohol, and I was impressed by the friendly reception staff and the comfortable waiting area. My guide was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to capture the best photos and videos throughout the session. Thanks to their hard work, I received some amazing shots! I will definitely visit again next time I'm in Bohol.
