Based on our Experienced Travel Tips ??
• Cheapest pasalubong shopping area is on Sipatan Hanging Bridge (Peanut Kisses as low as Php 160 per 16pcs) Tshirts as low as Php 90 you can still haggle depending on the quantity of your purchase of course
• You really can’t swim in alona beach .. You may want to try the Dumaluan Beach much better just got to Dumaluan Beach Resort Php 25 per pax (The Sand is comparable to white beach in boracay) still boracay white beach is the best though :P)
• I mapped out must see places #wheninbohol We suggest to start as early as 7am and go to the farthest place in this case the Chocolate Hills which is in Carmen about an Hour and half drive from panglao island

Best to end the day to chill and swim at Dumaluan Beach.
Day 3
Filipino Time Sucks! Call time should be 6am so that we can start early to see (Wild Dolphin) they appear around 7am only but the middleman sucks again so i won’t recommend him we pick up (6:45am) via van and drop us on front of St. Agustin Church this happen when the boats can’t dock on alona beach area prepare to habal (Php 50 for 2) or tricycle (Php 150) to go back to alona area if you stay there….Tour ends 12 noon… Worst Island Hopping Ever HAHA! (I won’t recommend)
Paid 400 per pax (Virgin Island SandBar (HighTide when we get there), Balicasag Island Entrance 250 per pax not worth it. It’s actually Php 200 pesos only but we got trick lol. One more thing locals seems to be pushy that you should try their Pawikan watching, marine sanctuary hopping for Php 200 – 300 per person) Fellow travellers that we met on the boat also did not recommend it because yeah you can see fishes but you can swim from the shore no need to ride a mini banka also they didn’t even see a single pawikan when they get there because it’s almost noon time.
