Panglao Island — Local services in Dauis

I found Panglao island massively overrated. Alona beach is beautiful but the road to get down to it is overrun with trikes and vans and people trying to sell you tours. Same in the high street! Loads of building work going on at the moment so piles of rubbish everywhere, locals pissing openly in the streets (one of the few places in the Philippines that I saw often in Panglao) It's a good location to stay, where you can do island hopping, tours to Bohol, and lots of other things, but the town itself is not a nice place to spend time in.

Beach hopping, island hopping, country side tour, swimming and never leave the island without trying to dive and swim with the wall of sardines and other fishes. Its a whole new worl once you go under the waters of Panglao. It is hard to describe the beauty of the island, its best for you to visit and see, be amazed with what the Island of Bohol...

Amazing little spot in Bohol... friendly locals, beautiful white sand beaches... good for snorkelling and some island hopping snorkel tours available. Big diving location and attracts a huge Korean tourist crowd. Alona beach is the spot to be if u want to meet other tourists and eat fresh seafood bbq on the beach. Very alive all day and late night. You can then escape to the Northern side of the island to escape the tourists and chill out on Momo beach and snorkel. You can also step away from the beach and check out the native tarsier primate species or spot the...
