We had to meet the boatman at 6 a.m. for dolphin-watching. We and the other boats had to wait in the middle of the sea for the dolphin pod to appear. At first we thought we'd missed them, but suddenly there was a shout and the fins of dolphins slicing through the water appeared. The boats roared to life and sped after the dolphins who were swimming at an unbelievably quick pace. The sight was incredible! Dolphins from an entire school took turns jumping out of the water, and they even looked like they had a permanent smile on. The thrill beginning from looking for dolphins to seeing them up close and watching them jump out of the water and dive back in with effortless grace made it one of the most memorable travel experiences I've ever had.

Balicasag Island
Balicasag Island is a marine sanctuary, making it a popular diving spot. We didn't snorkel though, and instead we walked the circumference of the island which took us about an hour and a half.
