Overview

The Bais Dolphin Watching & Twin Lakes Day Tour lets you experience Negros Oriental’s marine and mountain wonders in one unforgettable trip.

Start with dolphin watching in Bais, where travelers can see dolphins swimming freely in the wild. These playful creatures often approach boats out of curiosity, creating an exciting and natural encounter for visitors.

Next, visit the breathtaking Manjuyod Sandbar, known as the “Maldives of the Philippines.” This flawless white sandbar stretches seven kilometers across North Bais Bay and is best seen during low tide. At high tide, the sandbar disappears, and native wooden houses seem to float on the sea. When the tide recedes, it rises like a white pearl from the ocean, offering a truly magical view.

Finally, travel to the serene Twin Lakes of Balinsasayao and Danao, located 1,000 feet above sea level. The peaceful surroundings include lush trees, calm waters, and cool mountain air. Activities here include paddle boating, bird watching, and simply enjoying the quiet natural escape.

Visiting Season

The best time for Dolphin Watching is from March to October, avoiding the northeast monsoon prevalent during other months, which can make cruising challenging. Additionally, high winds and waves during this period reduce the chances of dolphin sightings. For your guide on dolphin watching and Manjuyod sanbdar, click here to see tide times for the week.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The waters of Bais are home to a variety of dolphin species, including the playful and acrobatic spinner dolphins. Dolphin watching tours typically start early in the morning to catch the dolphins at their most active. During these tours, you might see dolphins leaping and spinning out of the water, often in large pods. The tours often include a boat ride through the scenic waters of Tañon Strait, where you can also enjoy stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. It's a fantastic way to experience marine wildlife in their natural habitat and enjoy the beauty of the coastal environment.

Manjuyod Sandbar, often referred to as the "Maldives of the Philippines," is a stunning natural attraction located off the coast of Bais City on Negros Island. This sandbar is famous for its picturesque white sand stretching into the turquoise waters, creating a spectacular and serene landscape. During low tide, the sandbar becomes a prominent feature, offering visitors an opportunity to walk on the shallow waters and enjoy a pristine beach experience. The clear, calm waters are ideal for swimming, and the sandbar's remote location ensures a tranquil setting away from crowds. It's also a great spot for photography, picnicking, and simply relaxing while taking in the breathtaking surroundings.
