Welcome to the perfect balance. I would be remiss in my writings if I didn’t put Panglao high on my list of things to write about. Panglao offers the questing traveler pristine beaches, a taste of the quiet island life and a well preserved culture, but it also has just the right touch of nightlife.
It’s not overdeveloped, nor is it completely lacking in infrastructure. Simply put, Panglao is in a golden age!
Panglao is an island, in the island province of Bohol. Panglao is most famous for its world class diving locations and pristine Alona Beach. It’s also home to many resorts that specialize in making your vacation a memorable one.
Once you get here, there’s plenty of activity and adventure to keep you busy in the daytime. The most popular activities include diving, dolphin watching, and island hopping. Panglao diving offers you the chance to see a plethora of creatures. I could rave on for quite some time about the diving in Panglao, but you really should see it for yourself.
If you’re into dolphins, this is a good place to start looking. It’s great family fun, just like a treasure hunt! I would strongly recommend going before 8:00am. After morning playtime, they are more difficult to track down, and you may wind up wasting your time and money.
Much like Boracay, the sunrise and sunset on Panglao is a phenomenal sight not to be missed, it’s very much a natural wonder.
When you plan your trip to Panglao, check out our list of hotels and resorts for one that truly matches your style.
Enjoy, and see you on the beach!
