No, sightings of wild spinner dolphins are not guaranteed. However, boats arrive at the open water feeding grounds around 6:00 AM, which is the time dolphins are most active and visible.
You can rent gear, and many pre-booked tours include a mask and snorkel. However, bringing your own mask ensures a better fit and prevents leaks. Aqua shoes are also highly recommended for rocky bottoms.

Our trip to Balicasag Island was a wonderful experience with my family. On our way to the island, we enjoyed watching dolphins swimming and jumping near our boat. When we arrived, we went diving and saw beautiful corals and marine life underwater. The clear water and amazing scenery made the experience even more enjoyable. I really had a great time and would love to visit Balicasag Island again!
Rocky our guide was amazing, and helped us capture some really good pictures! He guided us on our snorkeling adventures, and was very informative. Thank you for a spectacular experience
