Join this wonderful trip in the heart of the Philippines, The Visayas region. This part of The Philippines is composed of neighboring islands with its own, unique and special hospitable people and biodiversity that you can enjoy.
We start the adventure in Alona Beach, Panglao, Bohol. This location is famous because of its clear water and white beaches. In the Island of Bohol, we will also visit the Chocolate Hills (amazing geologic formations of hills that looks like chocolate kisses), the Tarsier Sanctuary (the smallest primate in the world) and Loboc River (where you will enjoy a buffet of Filipino food on board while enjoying some of Bohol's Folk Dances from the comfort of your floating boat restaurant).
In Oslob, the island of Cebu, there you will see the biggest fish in the world, the gentle giants, The Whale Sharks. You are able to swim and interact with them in open water sea.
The PADI Open Water Diver course is the first qualification that allows you to dive everywhere in the world in a safe and fun way. Take advantage of the amazing underwater life in the Philippines by doing the course at the beginning of your trip so you can enjoy and appreciate the underwater world that The Philippines has to offer.
Aside from the land and the underwater wonders of this part of The Philippines, by this time, you will feel very at home and more relaxed enjoying the very hospitable and humble locals around you. The local food, is a must. The guide can tell you where the good and cheap eats are in the area.
Now leave the planning to us while you disconnect from the hustle and busy life. Live, Dive, Eat!
