This island hopping tour explores the turquoise waters surrounding Mactan Island, combining visits to nearby islands with time to swim, snorkel, and relax on the beach. Board a traditional Filipino boat and cruise across calm channels to offshore islands known for soft white sand and clear water. Watch the sea change color as you approach the marine sanctuaries around Nalusuan, Gilutungan, and Caohagan.
Snorkel above vibrant coral reefs where tropical fish and, with a bit of luck, gentle sea turtles move through the water. Spend time on sunlit beaches, feel the ocean breeze, or simply enjoy the coastal scenery from the boat. Depending on the program, freshly grilled seafood may be served on the beach or on board as a simple local meal. This combination of marine exploration and quiet time by the sea suits both active guests and those seeking a relaxed island atmosphere.
