Yes, we know. You can't wait to witness the fascinating sardine run IRL.  So drop your bags off at our hotel, and get ready for a snorkelling adventure here in this picturesque coastal town.

Witness a Sardine Run while Snorkelling

Put on your snorkelling gear and get ready to witness an ultra rare phenomenon. You'll have the chance to see the incredible spectacle of hundreds (if not thousands) of sardines gathering 'round in the clear blue water. Plus, we'll visit even more white-sand spots like Pescador Island, Panagsama Beach. 

Love waterfalls? You’ll love today. After breakfast, we’ll kick start our journey with a trek towards Aguinid Falls. Then, we'll head to Kawasan Falls & Alergria Falls where you can dip your toes in the water and even take a swim (if that’s your vibe). Expect stunning scenery of beautiful turquoise waters, majestic cascades and wonderfully green forests. Wow.

Tick off Moalboal's Picture-Perfect Waterfalls

Dip your toes (and take those photo dump snaps) in the cool blue waters of Kawasan Falls, Alergria Waterfall & Aguinid Falls. You'll also have the chance to swim and trek around. 

It’s time to say goodbye to the oh-so-beautiful Moalboal. Don’t worry, our next stop is giving those turquoise waters some serious competition. 

Jaws will drop as you drop your bags off at our scenic riverside resort here. Bohol's known for its luscious landscape & fascinating creatures. But first,  you’re in for an once-in-a-lifetime experience tonight - we're riding on a boat to see golden fireflies illuminate the river in the dark!
