Bohol

Napakaganda na ang unang pagkakataon kong mag-snorkel na may napakaraming sardinas, mas masaya kaysa sa karaniwang diving spot, ang coach ay napakabait at marunong kumuha ng litrato, ang pagkakaroon ng karanasan sa pagkuha ng litrato ay talagang napakaganda. Kahit hindi ako marunong mag-free dive kaya hindi ako makakuha ng litratong pang-social media, maganda pa rin ang mga nagawa ng mga kaibigan ko.

Bago magsimula ang itineraryo, espesyal na nirehistro ang mga pangalan ng mga kalahok pati na ang hotel. Sa aktibidad, tutulong ang coach na kumuha ng anggulo para sa mga litrato (napakahusay kumuha ng litrato) at dahan-dahan ding pababa ng ilang beses para mabawasan ang impact kapag lumulusong sa tubig. Napakasaya ng laro.

Bawat isa ay maaaring sumakay sa isang sasakyan, at dahil malayo ang maaabot nito, isa ito sa mga aktibidad na nakakapagbigay ng mataas na antas ng kasiyahan. Pero, sa presyo ng Pilipinas, parang medyo mahal...😅

We all had so much fun! we booked it for 10am but got there quite late but they still allowed us to go, maybe because there wasn’t anyone at the time because it was a Monday so it was less busy. It was really fun and so worth it. I prefer this kind of ride to a banana boat, but they also have a banana boat if you prefer that. The guides were v welcoming and took pictures and videos of us on our phones.

The Banana Boat ride in Panglao was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was filled with laughter, excitement, and pure fun. The crew was very professional, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable while still keeping the adventure thrilling. The views out on the water were breathtaking—clear blue seas, fresh ocean breeze, and the beautiful coastline of Panglao in the background. The ride itself was the perfect mix of adrenaline and enjoyment; we couldn’t stop smiling (and screaming!) the entire time. It’s a must-try activity if you’re in Bohol, whether you’re with friends, family, or even traveling solo. It’s the kind of experience that makes your trip extra memorable. Definitely worth it and something I’d love to do again!

Thanks to Southwest Tours. It was very well arranged. Sir Arturo was attentive, friendly and shared useful information along the way. It made the journey much more enjoyable and easy. Overall a pleasant experience.

I recently booked my Bohol–Dumaguete OceanJet ferry through Klook, and the experience was very convenient. The booking process was fast, the confirmation came right away, and I didn’t have to worry about lining up at the pier to buy tickets. The voucher was easy to present at the terminal, and staff were familiar with Klook bookings, which saved me time and hassle.

Isang pakikipagsapalaran na sulit sa oras at perang ginugol! Sobrang swerte namin na makakita ng mga ligaw na dolphin habang naglalayag. Nakapag-snorkel din kami at nakakita ng ilang buhay-dagat at mga korales nang hindi kinakailangang mag-alala tungkol sa init, ito ay isang perpektong araw upang gawin ang mga aktibidad. Ang pagkaing inihain sa barko ay masarap din at sapat para sa lahat ng mga panauhin. Ang aming mga gabay sa bangka ay mapagbigay din at sinigurong kami ay hydrated sa buong tour. Lubos kong inirerekomenda ang tour na ito habang ikaw ay nasa Panglao!

Thanks to the professional captain Robert we were able to spot the dolphins for a minute and do a video. As there are lots of boats around, the dolphins escape the area as soon as they hear the engines. Some boats simply don't care and are driving after the dolphins which is sad. The tour was good especially with the snorkeling. It would have been great if we were earlier than at 07.30 at the dolphin viewing because they prefer to swim early in the morning. Boat condition: it's a noisy drive due to the engine noise, the boat is a wooden one, but safe as the captain was skillful. It can be tricky if there are waves. Itinerary: nice though on Balicasag locals approach a lot and try to sell their goods or offer to order lunch. The transfer was nicely organized, our snorkeling guide Jacob was a great and helpful instructor.
