balicasag island

11 august 2011, bohol

after our fun-filled experience with the dolphins, balicasag island is our next stop. "balicasag island is a 1.5 acre island that is famous as a marine sanctuary and place for snorkeling and diving. balicasag island is a 30-45 minute boat ride from alona beach, panglao island in bohol, philippines. panglao is most noted for its pristine white beaches, diving sites, and world-class resorts."

we had our breakfast first, just noodles, bread and coffee. before we go snorkeling, we ordered some fresh fish for our lunch. the sellers are going to cook your preferred ulam, with a charge of course. prices of fish and cooking charge is not so expensive, and food was great!

we then prepared for snorkeling. we were charged P150/head for the boat ride and guide going to the sanctuary, and P150 for each set of snorkeling gear. The boat was quite small but the boatman said it can carry all of us. he paddled till we reach the site.

there were lots of fish and corals. i can't help myself trying to touch the cute little fishes passing within my sight. our baby boy louie also dipped into the water and enjoyed playing with the fishes.

we went back to the shore and get ready for our sumptuous lunch. nom nom!
