🐬 Wildlife at Sea

Bohol Dolphin Watching

Set sail at dawn and witness hundreds of wild spinner dolphins dancing in the Bohol Sea β€” a magical, once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience.

Operated by the team behind Bohol Car Rental. Serving travelers in Bohol for years with hundreds of satisfied customers.

Meet Wild Spinner Dolphins of Bohol

The Bohol Dolphin Watching tour is one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences in the Philippines. Head out to sea in the early morning hours and join hundreds of wild spinner dolphins as they leap, spin, and play around your boat in the crystal-clear waters of the Bohol Sea, near Balicasag Island.

This is not a performance β€” these are free, wild dolphins in their natural environment. On most mornings, you'll encounter large pods of 50 to several hundred dolphins leaping in the golden morning light.

After dolphin watching, combine with our Bohol Island Hopping Tour for a full day of ocean adventure including snorkeling and sandbar relaxation.
