This island tour is a must when visiting Bohol. You will visit several islands, one of which has a beautiful beach with fine sand. The sea water is very clear, cleaner than tap water, and you will pass by a marine market.

Beautiful island just a boat ride from Bohol. We had a snorkeling trip here and were spoilt with beautiful crystal clear water. We got to see turtles and beautiful marine life. The locals all work together to keep the island clean. Lunch was simple but good and there are ladies selling souvenirs. Overall a beautiful island to visit.Tips: Go early to avoid the crowdsReasons to Recommend: Snorkeling and diving

There are not many dolphins in Bohol Island. Too many human activities have disturbed the dolphins. They are very lazy. I went there early in the morning and found many boats waiting there. There were also many motor sounds.
