Passeio pelas ilhas de Panglao com a Southwest Tours

Aunque las condiciones costeras eran moderadas debido al monzón del suroeste intensificado y los efectos de la tormenta tropical Domeng, nuestro recorrido de isla en isla fue seguro y agradable. Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a nuestros barqueros y guías, Eric y Gabriel, por su amabilidad, paciencia y excepcional asistencia a nuestra hija con discapacidad durante el embarque y desembarque. También agradecemos a la gente de la isla Balicasag por su ayuda y apoyo, una verdadera muestra del Bayanihan filipino. El viaje de regreso a Panglao fue desafiante debido al mar agitado, pero Eric y Gabriel se mantuvieron tranquilos, profesionales y enfocados en nuestra seguridad. Su habilidad y dedicación nos dieron confianza durante todo el viaje. Incluso se disculparon por nuestro retraso en el regreso, aunque el clima estaba fuera del control de cualquiera. Ver delfines en su hábitat natural fue un bono maravilloso. La comida en Balicasag fue excelente, nuestros guías de snorkel capturaron grandes recuerdos y nadar en el banco de arena de Virgin Island fue un punto culminante. ¡Altamente recomendado!

The tour is amazing, we get to see dolphins at 7AM! We went straight ahead to Balicasag Island and saw turtles, marine life is breath taking. Last stop was Virgin Islands - equally beautiful. Entire experience was so worth it. Bring Water and sunscreen!

Definitely worth your time and money! Guides went above and beyond with assisting my senior citizen mom through all the stops. They were very patient with her and even helped her to snorkel as it was her first time - at 70 years old! We were able to see the dolphins, snorkel with fish and the pawikan. Lunch at Balicasag Island was great - grilled chicken, buttered shrimp, rice, and mango. Great way to cap off the trip.

Here is a simple review for your Panglao Island hopping experience: Panglao Island Hopping: A Slice of Tropical Paradise Exploring the islands around Panglao was an absolute delight. The crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches, and diverse marine life made for an unforgettable day on the water. Snorkeling was a highlight, as we were able to see an abundance of colorful fish and vibrant coral reefs. The boat ride between the different islands was also a treat, with stunning limestone cliffs and lush greenery lining the shores. Overall, the Panglao Island hopping tour provided a wonderful glimpse into the natural beauty of this region of the Philippines. It was a great way to immerse ourselves in the island's tranquil ambiance and rich ecosystem. Definitely a must-do for anyone visiting Bohol!

Ang malinaw na tubig, malinis na dalampasigan, at iba't ibang uri ng buhay-dagat ay nagbigay ng isang di malilimutang araw sa tubig. Ang snorkeling ay isang highlight, dahil nakita namin ang napakaraming makukulay na isda at makulay na coral reefs. Ang tour ay nagbigay ng magandang sulyap sa natural na kagandahan ng rehiyong ito ng Pilipinas. Ito ay isang mahusay na paraan upang lubusang maranasan ang tahimik na kapaligiran at mayamang ecosystem ng isla. Talagang dapat gawin para sa sinumang bumibisita sa Bohol!

Overall, I was satisfied, except for waiting almost 30 minutes for the boat when we departed. Although we didn't see dolphins, snorkeling at Balicasag Island was truly the best. We swam in the ocean, which was like an aquarium, and the boatman/guide at Balicasag took us to several spots to show us turtles right before our eyes. Seeing turtles up close was a wonderful experience. As for Virgin Island... I'm not sure why we even went there. The long sandy path is beautiful, but the island is completely unmanaged.

The driver arrived on time and dropped us off at a location where we switched to a tricycle to get to the pier. We had to walk a bit through seawater with seaweed to board the boat. We first went to Virgin Island, a nice place for taking photos, but our guide didn't come down, so the two of us asked other guides to take our pictures. Then, very soon, we went to another island to see coral, fish, and sea turtles. The island was extremely busy with many visitors. We were glad that the water was still very clean with plenty of sea coral, fish, and sea turtles to see. We returned a bit early. When we arrived at the pier, it was around 11 AM.

Great experience. They're on time with the schedule. It's a hassle-free experience. My husband and I also tried scuba diving in Balicasag Island.

I really enjoyed the tour, pick up was on time and we set of to our destinations. Due to the weather the tour was little shorter than on the itinerary from 6am to 2pm, and we missed Virgin Island as I believe it is closed for conservation efforts. All in all it was worth it and I’d do it again if I am ever back to Panglao-Bohol.

The tour driver arrived early and I didn't have to wait. Our boatmen were very friendly. I enjoyed the tour.
