- Ms Filipina TravelerCebu City, Philippines271 contributionsAmazing place to snorkel , they have a lot of fish from different colours. But we only come here to have lunch. Lunch Buffet Is a bit pricey 800 pesos per head same price at Vikings Buffet but this is in Island so it's fair. Less choices though. Snorkeling recommended! Food? xoxo follow me on Instagram guys... @ msfilipinatraveler1 :)Written February 23, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brian ABengaluru, India89 contributionsIf you have some time to spare, take a short boat ride to Caohagan Island from Lapu Lapu jetty in Cebu. The island has about 150 local families who make a living by fishing and selling ornaments made from shells. You can buy some fresh seafood and get them cooked by the locals.
There is a entry fee of 200 php per person with kids charged at 100 php.Written February 13, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The water was clear, and there was a decent variety of coral and fish. Our experience though is snorkeling is better in Palawan, Bohol and Bantayan. A warning: we took a jeepney to Cordova Church, then tryke to the boats. Upon arrival at the first place the tryke driver took us, they wanted to charge us 2600 pesos for a two hour snorkeling trip. The tryke driver told us we could get a boat for 1200 at another place, took us there, and we were told the cheapest boat would be 1600 pesos. It's a scam rip-off for foreign tourists. Later, friends told us there is a ferry that will take you to the island for under 100 pesos. No one at either pier would lead us to where we could board the ferry.Written January 18, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 0416joyceCebu City, Philippines18 contributionsWe did a great fun in Olango View Deck. Good that we were able to catch-up with the photography masters of the sanctuary. We are made models by them. and we get to have the experience of looking at the birds faraway using their high-end telescope. Great experience indeed.Written August 1, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- nicekafernConsolacion, Philippines68 contributionsThey have added a seawall, the beach and sand are no longer existent. They close early, so if you happen to just want to chill out in the evening, this is a quiet place to be to listen to the waves and think about your life plans. Its just so dark so it can be a bit scary during the night.Written March 29, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
