4.BOHOL: Dolphin Watching, Turtle Swim and Party Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 27 reviews · 5 hours · from $69Top rated

Set out from Panglao for early dolphin watching near Pamilacan Island, then snorkel with turtles and reef fish at Balicasag. A local English-speaking guide helps with gear, safety, and underwater photos. Filipino lunch, drinks, and a beach-party setup round out this lively five-hour outing.

“Schöne Tour zum Turtle-Point und zu einem Korallenriff vor Balicasag. Ziemlich viel los dort, beim Schnorcheln aufpassen, dass man nicht mit einem Boot kollidiert :D Abgesehen von den Schildkröten war auch eine Muräne sowie viele andere Fische am Start. Man hat wirklich einen One-on-one Guide, der Fotos macht und sich um einen kümmert. Top! Für Schnorchel-Anfänger ggf nicht geeignet oder bisschen tough (Strömungsschnorcheln, ziemlich hohe Wellen), aber tolle Sicht auf die Schildkröten. Delfine leider keine, aber da kann keiner was für. Sehr gutes Mittagessen, Cola, Bier, Wasser - alles am Start. Würde ich wieder buchen! Kleine Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten: Für gute Schnorchler wären Leih-Floss...”
