What to expect

Napaling Reef offers far more than its famous sardine shoal. During this guided one-hour tour, guests with basic freediving skills can explore the reef wall among schools of sardines, jackfish, and mackerel, as well as clownfish, colorful reef fish, and barracudas. Green sea turtles also visit the reef occasionally. Marine-life sightings vary naturally and cannot be guaranteed.

This guided recreational tour is designed for guests who already have basic freediving skills. Follow the reef wall at depths suited to your experience and comfort while your guide provides water supervision and captures unedited GoPro photos and videos.

Meet at Freedive Academy Panglao on Napaling Drive. Optional transportation can be added during booking.

Review for: Freedive with Sardines, Jackfish & Tropical Reef Life

this was a great experience for me and my friend! we had 1 tour guide- they picked us up from the hotel — about 1200 pesos or more for round trip from our region. the tour guide was very friendly and patient with us— sooo gifted at taking photos and capturing the moment. we didn’t see any sardines however and unfortunately one of our fins broke. the tourguide spoke English well as well as many Filipinos but unfortunately didn’t know much about marine life when asked questions. all in all, still super worth it for the GRAM! safe and good communication

Review for: Freediving Tour at Napaling Reef and the Sardines

I love how the process was very smooth. We came to the meeting place on time and they were also ready to accommodate us without delays. We chose our gears and went straight to napaling reef with our guide. The place was safe and our guide took videos and pictures of us while diving. It was an overall great experience

Review for: Freediving Tour at Napaling Reef and the Sardines

Friendly boat crew members and amazing spots for snorkeling and basic free diving. We were also provided food and drinks. You can rent fins at Balicasag if you wish to use them for diving, but it's probably better to rent them from Alona beach so that you have them for the whole day.

Review for: 納帕林礁和沙丁魚的自由潛水之旅

The pre-trip communication with the front desk was excellent; they patiently answered all my questions politely and thoroughly, leaving me with a positive impression. The freediving instructor arrived on time at the hotel for pick-up. No prior freediving experience is necessary, but swimming ability is still required. The instructor was a skilled photographer and attentive guide. A quick rinse-off is available nearby after the dive. The underwater scenery is beautiful, but be mindful of the deep trenches if you are not confident in your diving skills. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would consider going again.
