How to go there
From Panglao Island, we hired a boat to tour us around Bohol’s nearby Island. Virgin Island, was one of the places we got on our deal.
What to see
After having lunch at Balicasag Island, we went to our last island to visit in Bohol – Virgin Island. While on the boat, the wandering Juan contest was still on our mind, specially Jeff, we took some shots for the contest. While others were ridiculously bad, Jeff had this cool idea to take pictures of him in my glasses. We ended up having lots of poses and pictures in that effect.
We arrived at Virgin Island 20 minutes later from Balicasag. Our boat docked in the main part of the island away from the sandbar of the island. We went around to explore the little grounds of Virgin Island, while taking some shots of the islands spectacular view.
While there, we saw this fisherman docking on the shores of Virgin Island, curious me again, asked Manong’s catch for that day. In his boat are loads of colorful sea urchins. I asked if we can taste some of his fresh and still alive sea urchins. He prepared one for me, and I got to taste raw sea urchin right there and then. I forced Jeff to eat one too.
It was only at Virgin Island, that Jeff and I had a chance to relax, swim and to just explore without the expense of time. We made several attempts at photography again there, taking mostly pictures of slippers, hehe. The pics I’m posting here aren’t the one were submitting at the contest
After walking and swimming around the beach. Jeff and I left Virgin Island, and called it a day. I got another shot of the tiny Virgin island of Bohol. Kinda looks like any island you can draw, eh?

Hi Beverly,
Yup, kasama na sya sa 1800.
Thank you for sharing this. I had such a wonderful time myself traveling and performing in philippine and this bought back so many memories.
hi..ngrent b kau ng snorkel or dala nyo un?
pwd b mgtayo ng tent sa beach coz we’re planning to bring our tent e.
Hi shine,
we brought our own snorkels, pero you can rent din sa boatman.
With the tent naman, may mga nakita kaming merong dalang tapalona, so I guess ok lng.
enjoy your trip!

Hi Helen,
just came from Bohol last May – we started the dolphin watching at 5:30 am (nasa boat na kami), after we saw dolphins we went to balicasag na about 7 am then we did snorkelling in balicasag (bring bread so the fish will come to you) we stayed there up to about 8:30 then went to virgin island (super beautiful!) – stayed here until a little past 11 am, then head back to our resort. we were at the resort mga 11:30. Ordered our lunch at the resort then freshened up and packed our bags, check out, dropped by at hinagdanan souveneir shop, arrived at the airport 3:40 (our flight is 4:55) still plenty of time
Btw, our boat rental was only P1500 (there are 5 of us)
happy trip
Hi Helen,
Yup tama si anrol, at least 5 am dapat nag start na kayo ng dolphin watching.
With regards dun sa island hopping, actually kalahating araw lang talaga sya, unless gusto nyo magbabad sa islands.
Btw, I posted the original price of the boat rental, pero we got ours cheaper than 1,800 din.
Thanks
@anrol and @japanesecake
baka you have the contact of your boatman? can you also share it to us?
