Panglao Island Hopping — Balicasag Reef & Virgin Island Sandbar
About this tour
Balicasag Island is one of the Philippines' best snorkeling and diving spots — a small island surrounded by a wall reef dropping to 30m+, with excellent visibility and abundant marine life. Spinner dolphins often circle the island in the morning. Sea turtles are almost guaranteed at the snorkeling spots on the western side.
Virgin Island has a long white sandbar that extends into the turquoise water at low tide — excellent for photos and shallow wading. The route departs from Alona Beach, Panglao, and includes 2 snorkeling stops and the sandbar visit. Dolphins are common in the channel between Panglao and Balicasag.
