BOHOL: BALICASAG ISLAND




This low, flat island is situated four kilometers southwest of Duljo Point off Panglao Reef. Surrounded by a sandy shell coraline beach, the island is fringed by a narrow reef shelf 9 to 49.5 meters wide. The tops of the submarine cliffs are covered with hard coral while lower levels are covered with sponges and gorgonians. A thriving fish community is found around the cliff face area. Jacks, barracudas and mackerels also abound.





Kids would LOVE the idea to swim to this very nice island ..

Have FUN on the ISLAND!

You can make arrangement with the boat personnel at alona divers in Panglao Island. A lot of them stayed at the resort waiting for clients who would want to go to the island, for the rent it would cost you about Php 2500 for the entire boat but you can start at 8am and be out of the island by 5pm depending on the weather. It was fun sailing with all the islands and scenery you would see going to balicasag island. they can provide you life jacket and gadget for snorkling. The island is protected by sanctuary. So fishing is prohibited on this island.
