In February I went with my wife in the Philippines in the island of Balicasag, in the only resort that is: the Balicasag Dive Resort.
Resort run by the Philippine Department of Tourism. This island is 45 minutes by boat from Bohol.
Balicasag is very small island in an hour and a quarter walk along the perimeter on the beach is inhabited by a few families, very poor people in tourism than fishing the only resource.
The sea is trasparentissimo, the water temperature is constantly 29 degrees and is a marine reserve. The snorkeling is fantastic, especially in the area in front of the Resort.
From all parts of the Philippines come here to dive.
From nearby Bohol are many tourists for the day trips.
The resort has very low prices, the rooms are very nice, with air conditioning, fridge and bathroom.
No hot water, but there is no problem to take a shower, the bungalows are 20 and all along the beach.
In the restaurant the food is very good and reasonable price. There are also small local shops where you can eat delicious small bananas. The Resort is also a bakery that makes really good sandwiches. The sea is really nice and there's an incredible underwater visibility.
For lovers of the sea diving and snorkelling this island is really beautiful. There are no roads (trails only), all running on foot, people are all very kind and always smiling.
You can rent boats for trips to nearby islands. Much better than looking for dolphins in the morning, we we have seen many who jumped in front of our boat, an unforgettable experience.
About 3600 euro is the money we spent two, including all flights, transfers from Tagbilaran, accommodation, meals and souvenirs.
The trip and all bookings were made by us on the Internet.
