Panglao

The activity flow is very clear, with dedicated pick-up and drop-off service. At each pick-up point, someone will be holding a sign with your name. No need to worry about getting on the wrong bus in the chaos. Once you arrive at the whale shark viewing area, there's no extra waiting time. You can go straight down to swim with the whale sharks. GoPro rentals are also available (if you rent one, they'll be very helpful in taking photos of you with the whale sharks!). After swimming with the whale sharks, breakfast is served. It's truly a perfect experience! Although the boat trip from Bohol to Oslob is long, seeing whale sharks so close is absolutely worth it!!!

I got up at 6 am, dressed in my swimsuit, and took the shuttle bus. After arriving at the beach and completing the formalities, we boarded a small outrigger boat and headed out to sea. The boat was very clean, the sea was crystal clear, and I felt very relaxed. On the way to Carissa Island, we even encountered dolphins ❤️. Upon arriving at Carissa Island, we were given a different guide to take us snorkeling to see sea turtles. We brought our own waterproof cameras, and he charged 100 per person to take photos for us, totaling 400 for four people – a bit pricey, but worth it. He would dive down to the seabed to take close-up photos of the turtles and capture the beautiful underwater scenery. Lunch at 9 am included roasted chicken legs, two shrimp, a bowl of rice, and a slice of watermelon. After lunch, we headed to Virgin Island. Virgin Island actually only has one crescent-shaped beach, but it's incredibly beautiful. There's only one sign on the small island, giving it a very charming island vibe. You can see the beach and the sea and sky merging into one – absolutely stunning!
