What to Expect

Your adventure begins early with a scenic drive from Dumaguete City to Bais, passing through quiet coastal towns and lush countryside views. Upon arrival at the Bais Wharf, you’ll hop on a motorized boat that will take you out into the Tañon Strait — a protected marine sanctuary known for its rich biodiversity.

As the sun rises, keep your eyes on the waves for playful dolphins swimming alongside the boat. These gentle creatures often leap and twirl gracefully in the open sea, creating unforgettable photo moments.

After your dolphin encounter, the boat will head to the stunning Manjuyod White Sandbar, a long stretch of fine white sand that emerges during low tide. You can swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the sand surrounded by turquoise waters as your boat anchors nearby.

Before heading back, take a few more photos and soak in the tranquil beauty of the sandbar — it’s a perfect way to unwind and appreciate nature at its purest.

Expect a day filled with sun, sea, and smiles, plus the chance to witness some of the Philippines’ most magical marine life up close.

Highly recommended! 100 Salaag Ta Travel & Tours made our Apo Island trip amazing! We were a big group, and Ate Shek and Kuya were very accommodating and on time sa day ng tour. They were also very responsive to our inquiries, even though we booked just a day before. The entire experience was hassle-free, and our apo tour was well-organized. Galing!

Hats off po kmi sa Salaag Ta Travel & Tours. Its been a challenge for travelers like us to look for a Travel& Tour services na sulit and maganda yung customer service that is why most of the time we opt for DIY kind of adventure.

Luckily, my husband found Salaag Ta Travel and Tours na kahit short notice ay napush through yung Dumaguete travel namin. They made it possible for us kaya po we recommend po talaga sila cause they have 101% customer service (online and personal), one great thing about them also ay they try to optimize your time by preparing bookings online and they make sure na comfortable yung byahe from pick up to drop off. and it seems for us na they have established commendable relationships sa mga partner providers nila bcuz easier po yung flow ng ganaps. plus factor ng po yung fact na masaya po sila kasama, extrovert kmn or introvert they can set the vibe.

Maraming thank you po ulit
