Pamilacan island: Dolphins, snorkel, lunch and walking tour – Visayas, Philippines

EXPERIENCE

Set sail from Panglao in the early morning aboard a traditional Filipino boat, reserved exclusively for you, and let the tranquil waters of the Bohol Sea guide you to the secluded Pamilacan Island. As the sun rises, you’ll find yourself amidst playful dolphins, setting the stage for a day filled with natural marvels and cultural discoveries.

The marine sanctuary around Pamilacan Island, a bastion of biodiversity, awaits your exploration. Here, unlimited snorkeling opportunities allow you to immerse yourself in an underwater realm where turtles gracefully navigate ancient coral gardens, and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish flutters through the vibrant reefs. Guided by locals, you’ll encounter marine life in areas untouched by fishing, where the balance of nature is meticulously preserved.

After your underwater adventure, the island itself offers a serene backdrop for a delightful seaside dining experience. Indulge in a lunch prepared with the day’s freshest catch, served by the local community, and enjoy the simplicity of island life with your feet nestled in the soft sand. This meal not only satisfies your palate but also offers a glimpse into the authentic Boholano way of life, characterized by warm hospitality and a deep connection to the sea.

A guided walk through Pamilacan Island reveals its layers of history and tradition. Visit the 200-year-old Spanish fort, a reminder of the island’s strategic importance and its storied past, providing a stark contrast to the natural beauty that surrounds it. As you wander, witness the sustainable lifestyle of the local inhabitants, who live in harmony with their environment, devoid of external supplies of water or electricity.

Your journey concludes with a return trip to Panglao, leaving you with a tapestry of memories from a day spent in one of the Philippines’ most enchanting destinations.
