It was a tiring day.My kids are now longing for beach. Who cares if its 7pm? They just want to soak themselves to water. After i settled our things in the lodge we wasted no time and went straight to the beach. We stayed at Villa Almedilla located at the back of Tierra Azul Resort. It was just a few hops from Alona Beach.

Alona Beach is a stretch of fine white sand in the Island of Panglao.Bars and restaurant are also scattered in the area. The only downside is there are to many bancas anchored in the shore. I find hard to look for a perfect spot in the beach where we can lounge without any interruption.

We get up early the next day for our Island hopping and dolphin watching. For 1,500 we got a good deal from one of the bangkeros that approached us the day before. Life vest and snorkel set are also included.

It was a breezy morning and most of us are sleepy. We board the banca and head to the sea to look for the dolphins.It took a while, were sailing for almost one hour and a half and havent spotted anything yet.After almost two hours, a flocked of dolphins showed up. We're all excited as they show off their skills. We spent 30 minutes then go straight to Balicasag Island.

Balicasag island is approximately 30 minutes away from Alona beach. After chasing dolphins its now time for our island hopping.Usual stop over is the Balicasag island. Clear waters and white sand beach surrounds the island.The island is also home of almost 100 native families. Foods are pricier in Balicasag it is still best to bring your own food like what we did.

After eating our bangkero offered us to snorkel and visit the marine sanctuary.We haggled for 600php for 5 persons, instead of 150php per pax. From Balicasag we transferred to a small paddle boat that will bring us to the marine sanctuary. We spent 2 hours floating on the water and enjoying the corals under the sea.It was a great experience.
