Yet another early morning, but this time, we were filled with great excitement and anticipation for the adventures upcoming.
Sunrise was at 530am, and we witnessed a really spectacular sunrise just like yesterday.
We met the boat guide for our Ocean Adventure, that Mr Boyet had arranged for us. And off we went, on board an exclusive boat just for the 4 of us!
Our 1st event was to spot the dolphins. We were crossing fingers hoping to see them and yes! we were not disappointed! In fact, there were near to 20 dolphins swimming around us. All of us were too happy at this sight! Never did we see dolphins at such close distance as compared to aquarium haha
After saying Hello to the dolphins, we made our way to Balicasag Island for fish sanctuary. We did not decide what to do. We saw we could feed the fish with bread and probably spot sea turtles. The guide said all these could be done without going into the water. But, when we reached the fish sanctuary, the water was so clean and shallow that it would be really wasted if we did not go in to do some snorkelling!
And so we did! It was the first time for two of us..and the experience was really good. I failed my swimming classes so this was something I have never imagined I would do :) Looking at the underwater world, the experience was totally awesome!
The colorful fish came by to eat the bread that we offered. The guide was also very good to bring us to the deeper ocean to see bigger fish and more of the corals! Luckily, all of us came back safely to the boat haha. we totally enjoyed this adventure. We also spotted sea turtles swimming past us, one of them was even curious to pop its head out of water to say Hi to us :)

The water at Balicasag Island
After a fruitful time at Balicasag Island, we made our way to the white sand bar at Virgin Island. Well, I'm not sure if you can call this island. It is really too small! Just a small strip of white sand. But, the water there is really clear and pretty. Look at the pictures!
Sea oh-so-clear!
Photo-taking at Virgin Island.
Boy, we were extremely hungry after this stop and we made our way back to Alona Beach. All of us were famished after a good bath at the hotel and we had lunch at the same restaurant we had for our 1st meal. It was a satisfying one and we were tired after waking up at 4am that day haha..
By the time we reached Cebu, it was already 8pm. I was glad transport pickup was smooth as arranged by Mr Boyet and we reached Cebu Quest Hotel safely.
After check-in, we proceeded to the nearby Ayala Mall to get some dinner! It was a really big mall but it was a pity as we did not have enough time to go shopping. The mall closes at 9pm and we only reach there at 815pm. Our dinner was spent as Cafe Laguna which offered very nice Philippines cuisine! Very happy meal indeed.
Wonderful Surprise for Angela!
In our opinions, this hotel offered very good standard rooms. And also, this night was special as I approached the hotel staff to help arrange a surprise for my friend who is getting married very soon! Cebu Quest Hotel kindly offered us a red wine, cheese cake, and chocolates which was really nice!
A perfect end for our Bohol Vacation!
Till then, we may venture to explore other beautiful islands in Philippines in the near future!
