Head into the open Bohol Sea at sunrise to find pods of wild spinner dolphins.
Most Balicasag Island tours begin with a stop in the deep waters southwest of Panglao Island. You need to depart early, usually around 6:00 AM, to catch the dolphins while they feed and socialize.
Tour boats idle in the open water once a pod is spotted. The animals are wild and move fast, but spinner dolphins are highly active in this area.
30-45 minsFast shutter speed needed
Deep waters off the coast serve as early-morning feeding grounds for spinner dolphins. Boats gather here to watch the pods surface and play. Keep your camera ready and set to a fast shutter speed. The dolphins leap from the water quickly and without warning.
