Price, Activities and InclusionsThe dolphin watching and island hopping tour that we took in Panglao Island includes the following activities:
This boat trip costed P600 per head (May 2017) excluding lunch and snorkeling gear, and our family of 4 shared the boat with about 8 other people. The snorkeling gear is P150 for the mask and snorkel only and P200 for the complete set with fins. The vest is for free. As with other beaches in the Philippines, dolphin watching tours are often offered as part of several island hopping packages. I've been in different dolphin watching tours around the country but this one in Panglao was the best experience of all. This was where I've seen the biggest pod of dolphins these eyes could ever see -- something that might not happen again in this lifetime. Good thing I was able to capture this entire experience on video. You can watch the video of the dolphins that we saw during the trip in the YouTube video below: The dolphin watching and island hopping tour usually starts in Alona Beach. The travel agency or whoever you arranged it with will inform you where exactly the meeting place will be. The boats will leave early in the morning to be able to catch the dolphins. During our trip, we left Alona Beach between 6:30 and 7:00 AM. The boat will roam around the area where the dolphins usually are and drive around until you find dolphins. I would say finding dolphins are based on weather and some bit of luck. On a lucky day, you will be presented with big pods but some days, you won't be able to find any dolphins at all. After about 15-20 minutes of watching dolphins, your boat will head towards Balicasag Island.
