Pamilacan Island Tour with Dolphins and Turtles Watching
Pamilacan, hidden in the heart of the Bohol Sea, is a beautiful, less-known destination. It’s perfect for snorkeling with its clear waters and vibrant marine life. After arriving on the island, we’ll have a guided snorkeling session to explore the underwater world.
Following the snorkeling adventure, you’ll have some free time to wander around the village, where you can experience the local lifestyle and culture. Then, a local family hosts us for a delicious, authentic Boholano lunch. They’ll also show us around the island, sharing insights into their home.
In the afternoon, there’s plenty of time to relax. Enjoy the stunning white sand beach, take a dip in the turquoise ocean, or just lounge and sip some drinks. The peaceful atmosphere of the island is perfect for unwinding.
Finally, in the early afternoon, we’ll depart from Pamilacan and head back to the mainland, arriving at Abraham Bohol by mid-afternoon. This tour is a great way to experience the serene beauty and local culture of Pamilacan Island.
