Seamless Start to Your Adventure
The day begins with Aqua Ventura’s commitment to seamless travel and comfort.

A skilled driver will bring you to Canibol Port in Bais City, where your boat is waiting to start the day’s adventure.
Starting the dolphin-watching and sandbar tour at 5:30 a.m. is ideal for several reasons, ensuring you have the best experience possible. Here’s why:
- Maximize Dolphin Sightings
Dolphins are most active in the early morning when the waters are cooler, increasing your chances of spotting them. By setting out at dawn, you’re more likely to see dolphins leaping and playing in their natural environment. - Catch the Calmest Waters
Early mornings typically bring calmer waters, making for a smoother boat ride. This reduces choppy waves and offers better visibility to spot marine life in the clear, peaceful sea. - Enjoy the Sandbar at Low Tide
Sandbars, like Manjuyod, are most visible at low tide, which often occurs in the morning. Starting early means you’ll arrive as the sandbar emerges from the water, giving you more time to explore before the tide rises again. - Avoid the Heat and Crowds
Starting the tour early allows you to enjoy the cooler, comfortable morning temperatures. This timing also helps you beat the midday heat and avoid the crowd, allowing for a more serene experience on the water and the sandbar. - Capture Stunning Sunrise Views
An early start gives you the chance to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the sea, casting a beautiful glow across the waters. This magical view adds a special touch to the start of your adventure, offering perfect photo opportunities. - A Full Day to Explore and Relax
Beginning at 5:30 a.m. allows you to make the most of the day. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy both dolphin-watching and sandbar activities without feeling rushed, with ample time left in the day to relax or explore other areas.
Setting Sail to Dolphin Paradise
Your journey officially kicks off as you board a private motorized boat. From Canibol Port, you’ll set sail across the Tañon Strait, a thriving marine habitat that’s home to playful dolphins and diverse marine life. Aqua Ventura’s experienced guides are dedicated to creating a responsible dolphin-watching experience, ensuring you get the best views while respecting these amazing creatures’ natural environment. As you glide over the water, keep your eyes peeled for playful dolphins, often seen leaping and spinning—a magical experience that offers a deep connection with the ocean.
Manjuyod White Sand Bar: A Natural Wonder
Following your dolphin encounter, it’s time to head to the Manjuyod White Sand Bar. Known as the “Maldives of the Philippines,” this seven-kilometer sand bar reveals itself only at low tide. When the tide is high, the sand bar disappears beneath the clear waters, creating a stunning visual as it reappears, making for incredible photos and a truly unique experience.
Lunch in Paradise
No day at sea would be complete without a delicious meal. Aqua Ventura provides a fresh, locally inspired onboard lunch, featuring seafood delights and traditional flavors to complement the beautiful surroundings. Enjoy your meal as you take in the breathtaking view of the sand bar and the open sea—a dining experience that’s both serene and unforgettable.
Leisure and Exploration
With the afternoon at your disposal, you’re free to explore and make the most of this serene setting. Wander along the sand bar, capturing the beauty of the sea and sky, or lounge on the sand, soaking up the sun. The sand bar offers the best of both worlds, with space for quiet relaxation or gentle exploration. Whether you’re looking to swim in the crystal-clear waters, take photos, or simply lie back and take it all in, this natural wonder is the perfect backdrop.
The Journey Home
As the day draws to a close, you’ll board your boat and head back to Canibol Port, with memories of dolphins and white sands lingering long after. Aqua Ventura arranges a comfortable private ride back to your accommodation, ensuring a relaxed end to an adventurous day.
