The trip to the island

Left very early morning from Alona Kew Beach Resort. Breakfast on the banca. Saved some white rice (very important!). Went whale and dolphin watching as the sun was rising over the Bohol Sea. Just one operator on the boat, and he was very friendly and efficient.

Snorkelling

It took a few hours to reach Balicasag. What a place! The coral area is a nationally protected eco zone. There's a modest resort operated by the Phil. gov't right on the water (They serve San Miguel.). If you could picture yourself swimming in the world's largest and most spectacular aquarium, you would be at Balicasag.

P.S. The fish were feeding on rice, right out of our hands!
